Wenders' UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD - Spring 2004
 

from Anchor Bay's website
I can't wait, this is one of my favorite movies not yet on dvd.

this is one of my favorites also. I haven't seen this in years. great soundtrack!!

That's excellent news. :) I've read about the director's cut and wondered when or if we'd ever get to see it. Definitely one to look forward to.

Simply.... WOW.

:up: big time!

Wow!!!!!!!

Amazing amazing news. Thank you for posting!!!!

Not to sound greedy, but what about the rest of the Wenders collection Anchor Bay was going to release. Any news on them?

Sweet!
I second the great soundtrack call! :)

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Great news!

I wonder just how long the DC will be?

280 minutes.

Can't wait to get this finally! I figured there was a good chance it would never make it out.

280 minutes? it was boring at 158!!
Director's cut is a crime, it should be banned!!

Boring!?!?

I think it's you who should be [BANNED]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Thread crapping should be banned.

I don't see why people bother reading a thread, only to make a posting saying that its a waste of space. Why even bother reading the thread in the first place?

I think it will be a much better film at 280 minutes than it was at 158 - and at 158 minutes it was still a pretty good film.

Caught part (all?) of this on HBO many years ago.

At the time, I found it plodding, smug, and dull, but there was something intangible about it that sort of fascinated me. And ten years on, I still find myself recalling images and scenes from this movie that I didn't really seem to like.

So I might have to pick it up. Maybe I'll come around on it.

An ex-girlfriend of mine when I was in college (which would be about 5 years ago now) loved this film, and made me watch with her one evening. I was bored to tears by it. Since then, however, I have gained an appreciation for other films that Wenders has done, so I'll be very willing to check this disc out.

You've just described the majority of Wim Wenders' films in a nutshell.

What a surprise.

I can't find this info on the Anchor Bay website, but it looks like a "Director's Cut" 3 DVD set is available in Italy:

Maybe that's old news, but it's the first I'd heard of it. Anybody have any more info on the Spring 2004 release?

It says "multi-disc set" - does that mean more than 2?

That's awesome. It's funny - I've only seen this once, a long time ago, on a VHS rental - but certain scenes have stuck with me all of this time - I guess it's been about ten years since I've seen it.

I'll DEFINITELY be picking this up.

Spring is almost here!

I do enjoy Wim Wenders' films. I remember when Until the End of the World came out in theaters (in addition to the great CD release of the soundtrack). I skipped its theatrical release because it wasn't the director's cut and have yet to watch it at all. When I heard the film was not the definitive director's cut, I had flashbacks of how over-compromised Dune was for David Lynch because it was cut back from four hours, beyond his control, as was the case with Until the End of the World. Now, I will finally see this film this spring... :)

Excellent news!

The set was announced long before Anchor Bay was having trouble and was sold (or is being sold). There has been no announcement or news about it since. Even on Wim's own website.

It is one of my most eagerly awaited titles so I can't wait. I have the half hour longer Japanese laserdisc and some of the scenes added are truly stunning. Makes a huge difference. Especially in the San Francisco segment.

This film has the 'BEST' soundtrack. I always liked this movie but I also like 'Wings of Desire'. Some people can't handle the lack of action but I find visuals and good music are what I require most.

I was also wondering about the status of this release. Considering there's been no word on this recently and Spring is just around the corner, I've got a bad feeling this won't be coming out soon. Sure hope I'm wrong because it's one of my most anticipated releases this year.
