TRAINSPOTTING SE dvd?! finally?! maybe?!
 

haven't heard anything on it yet, but Europe got a great SE a few months ago. And then tonight on the film ratings board i found this....


Trainspotting - Collector's Edition (2003)
Buena Vista Home Entertainment
R Rated R for graphic heroin use and resulting depravity, strong language, sex, nudity and violence.



what else would this be for besides a dvd, right?

ooooh, I really hoped Criterion was able to get this since the LD was really nice, but whatever it takes for a nicer R1 version. :)

The R2/PAL release is a great 2-disc edition that's well worth getting for anyone who has a region-free player.

Brazil has the special edition (2 discs I think), Cheaper and it's NTSC.

Wasn't it Brazil who had "Once Upon a Time in America" for a while before it was released in the US? Either way, I hope that an SE actually does make it to the US, since good deals can usually be had all around! ;)

or indeed anyone who is in R2 with a DVD Player regardless of multi-region capability or not :D

Hopefully we will see an SE in the future. They should've released one with 28 Days Later though. Would've been good timing for Buena Vista to make a few more bucks.

I think it warrants an SE to at least upgrade the transfer. IIRC, isn't the original R1 release non-anamorphic?

Can't wait for a R1 SE. I have yet to drop down the bucks for a region free player. It's kind of a hard sell to the wife...

Yes. Which is why I have yet to pick it up... A new anamorphic transfer is long overdue.
