Master and Commander: April 20th
 
From DVDAnswers:

We've managed to get hold of an advertisement containing the official release date for the region one release of Master and Commander which stars Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany. I'm afraid that we've yet to receive the official announcement from Fox, so we can't reveal the full disc specs to you yet. We do however expect the disc to include a featurette on sound design, a HBO first look featurette, a In The Wake Of O'Brian featurette as well as twenty minutes of deleted scenes. Plenty more features should be included though - and hopefully a stonking DTS track! Naturally, we'll try and bring you the full list of specs in the coming days. For now though, we've attached the aforementioned advertisement below:

Hopefully they announce more (better) spec. features for this.

Looking forward to this release. Didn't get a chance to see it in the theaters.

I think it's getting a re-release due to the Oscar momentum. You might still catch it.

Home Theater Forum's recent chat with Fox confirmed that M & C will be getting two separate releases (a single-disc and a 2-disc a la Red Dragon).

Hopefully we won't have to wait a few months after the 1-disc comes out to get the 2-disc set.

DonnachaOne 01-31-04 12:32 PM

Fingers crossed for dts...

QuiGonJosh 01-31-04 02:38 PM

Oh god I hope it has DTS....

Tarnower 01-31-04 02:48 PM

This is definitely getting a re-release to capitalize on its 10 Oscar nominations. Do yourself a favor and see it on the big screen.

Was it just me or did that article say "stonking?"

Thanks for the info - I guess I'll be waiting for the 2-disc version.

Yep. That made me happy.:banana:

I am very excited for this, this was one of my favorite movies from last year. I hope there is a 2 disc edition, because the more the merrier for this movie I got to say. Love it.

sounds like a nice set...

DGibFen 02-06-04 08:29 PM

I'm glad Fox got the rights to do this on DVD. I shudder at what Miramax would have released....

bodomnet 02-06-04 08:53 PM

The current R2 date is 12/04/2004

Gamblor187 02-06-04 09:10 PM

Any idea why Peter Weir doesn't do audio commentaries? He's one of my favorite directors, and I'd love to hear a commentary from him.

Looks good (the 2-disc set, that is!). I also missed this one in theaters, unfortunately.

Oh my...that looks truly appetizing! Looks like they've learned from the LOTR sets.

etrnlevol 02-10-04 06:30 AM

It would certainly look nice next to my LOTR sets. Looking forward to this DVD release :up:

Simpson Purist 02-10-04 06:32 AM

I like how the single-disc version is inferior in every way (including the fact that it's full-screen only :lol: )

onebyone 02-10-04 07:02 AM

Nemein, thanks for posting that picture. That 2-disc release looks sweet. I am VERY excited for this. Like mark your calendar excited. I love everything about this movie, happy to see the dvd release might just be worthy of it.

steebo777 02-10-04 07:38 AM

Very nice set! I am very excited for this. Not only did I love the movie, but I thought the audio mix was top-notch. Can't wait to hear this at the Gazeebo Googleplex.
