From digitalbits....

In DVD release news, we have word that those forthcoming Buena Vista special editions of Enemy of the State and Crimson Tide have been delayed from their original May 4th street date. There's no word on why, or when they'll be rescheduled.


About freaking time someone said something......they announced these late last year. I have been looking for EOFS since then for preorder.

Well, at least they didn't wait until May 3rd to tell us....

Maybe they're bumping them back a few months to tie in with KING ARTHUR?? Or maybe not

Maybe they need some time to get those ANAMORPHIC transfers put together... or atleast we can hope...

Were they not going to be?

Well...Ransom wasn't.

And how about the DTS tracks that other regions got?

Both were originally announced as anamorphic releases....

So was Ransom :P

I will be pissed if they release Enemy of the State in anything less than anamorphic widescreen.

The plan was always to re-release them in anamorphic. Let's not jump to conclusions, people.

I don't remember reading anything about commentaries on these discs. Is it possible that Tony Scott wanted to add more bonus material?

Well that blows.

Umm....not jump to conclusions?? Ransom is being released next week by the same company as a special edition and IT is non-anamorphic tho it was announced as 16x9. How can you not?? lol

btw...a commentary was recorded for Crimson Tide but it never surfaced. (no pun intended)

OK, my mistake, I wasn't keeping up on the news for this disc. I wasn't aware that they were just re-releasing it with the same exact transfer. I would have assumed that by now, most studios would have been aware enough to release everything in anamorphic. I guess I can cross Buena Vista off that list.

for me it's a good news... cause they'll be waaayyy too much titles to buy on May....

I have to agree...Did not think I would ever be overwhelmed with the amount of releases coming over the next few months. This is a good thing of course...

Well, I've had the region 2 special editions of both of these for about a year now - they're anamorphic and they have good supplements.

So, I'm guessing the only reason they pulled the R1 releases is to maybe throw even more extras on them - or maybe it was a rights thing - who knows...

I also have the SE Ransom from Australia...but not the SE of EOTS...but I do have the barebones anamorphic copy from Germany. Boy I'll tell ya....those movies have a great look in 16:9.

I think these might be pushed back until fall for the Man on Fire dvd release.

Damn that sucks, I just traded in my Non-Anamorphic version of this in. Guess its time to order outside of Region 1.
