Lynch's WILD AT HEART
 

Does anybody have any information re: Wild at Heart on DVD???

Also, will ERASERHEAD ever be available for sale in stores?

Why have neither of these been released yet?? Any help or info would be much appreciated

No offense, since your a new member and all....but USE A QUESTION MARK.

Thanks...

Eraserhead has been released. Its availible through Lynch's website. No plans yet for Wild at Heart.

Wild at Heart US DVD Status
David is finishing the color timing of the new transfer. The soundtrack will most likely be the original LCRS mix. It seems that Lynch is no longer interested in doing any more 5.1 mixes of his older films. One thing however is that other than a great transfer, unlike MGM's Blue Velvet Special Edition DVD, this DVD will have no extras or documentaries.

If you would like to see MGM make this DVD release a Special Edition like the Blue Velvet Special Edition DVD, I urge you to send your letters of support to:

I got the Region 2 DVD - 2.35 anamorphic, 5.1 sound.


Sweet....

The R2 dvd is very good. Wild at Heart is my favorite Lynch movie and I couldn't wait wait for it. If you are region free, it is certainly worth picking up.

Wild at Heart has an impressive Region 3 (NTSC) or Region 2 Europe (PAL) transfer.

I'm thinking of getting a region-free player just to buy "Wild at Heart" and "Lost Highway".

If getting Lost Highway, the best version is from Germany. It has a great anamorphic image and a thunderous DD5.1 soundtrack.

Review of the disc here

Don't go near any other release as you'd be throwing away your money.

Wild at Heart is also available in Brazil Region 4 NTSC.

Anamorphic 2.35:1 5.1 DD.

What ever happened to the super long extended cut of WAH that Lynch promised SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Long ago!?

Arrrgggghhhh! :frankie:

Back when I was still buying Laserdiscs he was talking about a four to five hour long version of this movie, mostly comprised of Sailor and Lula on the road.

Lynch, Your a jerk for getting my hopes up! :mad:

It wasn't really Lynch that announced that. It was Elite Entertainment. Lynch agreed to participate at first, and then lost interest and dropped out of the project.

What are the extras on the R2 and R4 versions?

It has both picture and sound.

Nice! Almost a rarity on most dvds. :)

Special Features:

Color
Widescreen Format
Scene selection
Full-Color Insert
Animated Menus
Collectable Box Art

In other words, no special features at all.

Dude, did you even read his list? Color? Widescreen Format?
Scene selection? Full-Color Insert??? What more could you possibly want from a DVD?

Ha, ok on a side note, while I love Lynch's work, I do wish he would adopt the DVD format with a little more love. His films are just...not getting released, and his no chapter selection thing is fairly inane (you can get around that, so why not just make it easy on us?). But let's get them out! And how bout NOT charging $50 for Eraserhead? Then I'd buy the damn thing. Argh...

Whoa!

I agree, although I'm not sure if the problem is Lynch not being down with the DVD format, or the studios not being down with Lynch's whole approach to DVD. It is very frustrating, because almost all of his movies would have to be BIG sellers for catalog titles. Lots of us DVD geeks really dig Lynch and would snap up any releases in a heartbeat.

I've held off on buying Eraserhead because of the high price as well. Or at least that has pushed it to the bottom of my to-get list.

And what about the great extra of chapters?

Lynch doesn't want those on his USA DVDs (Elephant Man and Mulholland Dr. don't have them) so that's a special extra!

The only extra I need on WAH is the film itself. As with Eraserhead and almost all of Lynch's work, no all of it, the films themselves are the only thing that matter on the DVDs. You don't buy a painting for the frame or an album for the liner notes.

:up: :up: :up:

Wouldn't you be more apt to buy a painting if included with it was a 20 page description by the the director himself explaining his inspiration and why he did certain things in the painting?

My point is that your frame anology is a bit flawed...I think mine is more appropriate. Your analogy would work if you were talking about not buying a movie because of the DVD packaging tho.
