yet another snapper that i will gladly retire.

Having the TV pilot is very cool.

holy shit

I'm so getting the BD

Blu-Ray for $28.99

Pretty good looking SE. I'll probably grab this one. Always glad to retire a snapper.

The features listed could be a little more clearly defined, but it sounds good. My only disappointment is that I had hoped for an edited-together commentary with Curtis Hanson, Brian Helgeland, James Ellroy and perhaps Spacey, Pearce and Basinger, plus producers.

I don't believe Curtis Hanson does commentaries. Some of the others are no strangers though.

I'm glad they did as I suggested two years ago in this thread and included the TV pilot.

About time something was announced!

Andrew Sarris? Out of the blue. Is this his first DVD commentary?

I hope the excellent theatrical trailer gets remastered in HD.

agreed

YESSSSS. Great news!

About time...can't wait 'till September!

I'm so buying it!

I dont think I like it but I dont know. Maybe I'll give it some more time to digest.

Certainly not what I was expecting. I guess it's not necessarily bad and it looks well put together (as opposed to how crappy photoshopped covers usually look). It does, however, look more like something you'd find in the pages of some glamor magazine than on a DVD. It also follows in the line of the original marketing which played up Kim Bassinger. I guess she's the poster girl for the film.

But wouldn't it make more sense if the photos of the other cast members were in black & white?

I'm kind of surprised that Russell Crowe isn't more prominently featured.

The R2(?) 2-disc S.E. of this looked so much better.

What were the extras on that one? Amazon.co.uk only lists the same snapper edition released Stateside.

I just meant the packaging. I'm not sure what the extras were. I think there was a thread about it in the International DVD Talk forum.

This is apparently the Fox News Channel Edition.

And I hope this isn't another trend studios make. "Oh! There's a sexy woman in this film? Slap her titties and ass on the front cover. She wasn't really in the movie that much? Eh. Well, put the other actors somewhere on the cover."

I think it may be trying to give a nod to one of the book's covers actually. It reminds me of it for sure.

Yes I am so getting that

According to The Digital Bits, in addition to what was already announced, the set will also feature 14 deleted scenes!

I'll definitely be picking up the Blu-ray of this. Although I'm not allowing myself to repurchase HD movies I already own on DVD (I didn't spend years building my collection for nothing), this is one title I'd be gladly double dipping on even if I wasn't going blu.

I quite like the cover art.
