this site even has pics from the uk version, why would the us version be any differnt.

I remember seeing all of these extras contained. I actually think I argued with someone about this who eventually posted the spec sheet that BV advertised. I think it's guaranteed to have the same extras.

from the site
"We've seen reports that the upcoming Buena Vista release of "Chicago" will feature a commentary track from director-choreographer Rob Marshall and screenwriter Bill Condon. However we've been in touch with BV pR people and they assure us that the extras are as stated on the initial PR, I.E no commentary track. The extras are (apparently):

Deleted Scene musical number "Class"
Theatrical Trailer
28 minute making of feature
BV's PR are pretty sure however that the release does feature a DTS soundtrack."

For a best picture Oscar winner, this release is suspiciously bland. I suppose that we can we expect to see a 2 disk set in the future.

Again...

AS I SAID....there was word...and it's here...

BV don't do too many rereleases, do they?

Maybe Rob Marshall can divulge excatly WHY he cut so much during the film. It wasn't nice to have Richard Gere's tap-dance interrupted so heavily - you only see his face for a few shots.

I'm looking forward to this DVD, indeed. Those songs are going to sound great in DTS - if the US release doesn't drop it in favour of a french track for Canada.

wow, I am surprised that your "PAL speed-up" aversion is not mentioned in your first post.

I agree completely. There was so much fanfare over this, that the camera and editing destroyed any credibility to this scene.

Well, that's kind of the point to the scene. Roxie is watching him work his magic in the courtroom but in her mind she sees it as a tap dance. If it didn't cut back and forth, people wouldn't understand what was going on. Your jumping back and forth between Roxie's imagination and Roxie's reality. If he had seperated the two, it would have destroyed the credibility because it wouldn't have made any sense. Why repeat yourself when you can show both at once?

Umm...why would it be? I'm buying the US version because it has all the same extras.

Besides the fact that I already own the screener version...i would have no reason to mention my hatred for it. But I thank you for bringing it up. That'll help me the next time someone complains that I bring it up too much. You just proved that i don't!

Oh, just get a TV that does both natively!!

OK cool...when are you paying for it?

And FYI...last I heard...the TV doesn't slow down the speed up.

Thanks for playing.

so... have BV/Miramax definately axed the DTS track for the Region 1 release?

No.

From video.go.com, which Miramax's site directly links to:

I don't know where this rumor started that it wasn't going to be included but it always was. Or was that the directors commentary.

Either way...both are definitely included. Sheesh.

are there seperate versions?

amazon has separate widescreen and fullscreen versions listed, but that spec sheet makes it look as if both are on the same disc?

I think the WS and FS releases are seperate because the picture of the DVD cover on the video.go.com site had "Widescreen" across the top.

first review I've seen for it. This will almost def. be a reference disc for both picture and sound.

Wasn't the trailer on the extra disc included with the CD? Hmmm...

I thought Class was going to be incorporated into the movie...or at least have the option.

After reading that review, I'm looking forward to this disc even more than I already was... and I didn't think that was possible!
