Mr. Prior, I'm glad to hear that you're producing the set.

This went from a rental to a purchase for me based on that info alone.

I think they'll need parkas in hell before Peter Weir ever goes back and makes Maturin shoot first or dubs a girly scream over the self-surgery scene.

I actually asked him what he thought of revising movies after they've been finished. He made a face like he'd smelled something bad.

And jough, that's very nice to hear. Thanks for the vote of confidence. I hope you enjoy the final product as much as I enjoyed working on it.

Cheers,

David Prior

I never really pay attention to the cover art, but that looks like an awesome cover. And it's nice to see DTS being included with the 2 disc set. I'll be picking this one up for sure.

Nice to hear someone in the 'biz that likes finished product.

Oh, and I'm planning on getting this set... wasn't that thrilled about the film the first time I saw it. After reflecting on it, it's nice to see someone do a film that really shows the true historical aspects of seafairing life - not all the swashbuckling and heroics, but the true brotherhood between the crew and their captain. If you see Mr. Weir again, tell him he's got a lot of fans here! And the set should be great!

For that matter, I'd say that David's got a lot of fans here with the quality of the DVD releases that he's produced.

Panic Room in March and Master and Commander in April - it's like a double-shot of DVD goodness.

Can't wait.

Agreed!

I like it too.

And yes, welcome to the board - you'll find many fans of your work here. Just hope the more rabid ones don't scare you away.
