New Criterion Fritz Lang's M due in Dec

From www.criterionco.com Looks like it was worth the wait.

---------------------------

All New Edition of Fritz Lang's M Coming in December

Fritz Lang's suspense masterpiece M returns to the Collection in an all new 2-disc special edition this December. This release will feature a new transfer from fully restored film elements, as well as a host of new special features, including audio commentary by film scholars Eric Rentschler and Anton Kaes, a filmed interview with Fritz Lang conducted by director William Friedkin, Claude Chabrol’s M-inspired short film M le Maudit, classroom tapes of M editor Paul Falkenberg discussing the film and its history, and much more. Check here for more information on this release in the coming weeks!

Alot of folks at the CC board (myself included) were expecting M in December. Looks to be just as extensive as some of their recent two disc sets.

Its just one more DVD I want more than Star Wars.

I've been waiting for this one for a while after viewing the previous disk and seeing how bad the quality was. Great film.

BTW, I finally figured out what you nickname means after watching Aguirre, Wrath of God last week.

Same here, but being I loathe Star Wars that doesn't mean all that much.

Looking foward to this one a lot.

Is this the first time Criterion has significantly "double released" a title?

Meaning, bringing out a two discer for an already excellent one disc release.

Their first release of M was far from excellent - it was just a port of the laserdisc.

Isn't this the first-time Criterion released a disc in December? I thought they took the month off.

The Catalog number will stay the same

[QUOTE]Is this the first time Criterion has significantly "double released" a title?[?QUOTE]

400 Blows, Beauty and the Beast reissues were much improved.
And they kept the same catalog numbers

Excellent news. I bought M about a year ago, but never got around to watching it. It was still in the shrink wrap and everything, so I returned it for store credit this past weekend.

So I guess there are some advantages to having too many DVDs and not enough time.
