2-disc Dr. Strangelove in the works
 

digitalbits is reporting Columbia is working on a new 2-disc set 40th Anniversary Edition of Dr. Strangelove. No word yet what's on it. And also Warner is working on a 2-disc 2001: A Space Odyssey. So good news for Kubrick fans!

Now all we need is a 2 disc FMJ

$34.95 with DTS and Dolby 5.1 tracks,
coming out one month after the Superbit version.
No word on anything else.

i thought i saw that a superbit version is also already announced.

dvdpricesearch has a listing for it but so far only buy.com is listed http://www.buy.com//retail/product.a...246&dcaid=1688 (I have few stores filtered out though so others may actually have it too)

Maybe I'll finally pick this movie up, with this 2-disc.

This is a no-brainer double dip for me. Definately one of the best films of all time.

Less of a no-brainer since it's a triple dip for me. :mad:

Somehow I never seemed to pick this one up on DVD, so it's a new-dip for me! (well, ok - double-dip if you consider that I bought it on VHS years ago!)

2005 will mark the 25th Anniversary of another Kubrick film - The Shining. Think they'll do something with that, or wait until the 30th Annniversary?

Can't wait for Dr. Strangelove. Loved it right from the get-go.

The Shining came out in 1970?

I be getting the 2-disc 2001: A Space Odyssey. I'm quite content with my current 1-disc Dr. Strangelove.

It came out in 1980, so a 25th Anniversary would be more appropiate.

The Shining was released in 1980, next year will be the 25th anniversary.

The only thing about the 2-disc releases is that they will be in keep cases, which is a good thing, but I couldnt just replace the ones in the Kubrick set as they wouldnt fit in the box (unless I got rid of Life in Pictures

Maybe we'll get the widescreen version of the Shining finally (even though Kubrik wanted fullscreen)?

ANOTHER special edition for Dr. Strangelove? This would be my third time purchasing this, and my third time buying 2001. Enough is enough, seriously! I think I might just pass on these on principle alone.

I havent gotten Dr Strangelove, 2001 or Shining so may finally pick up the Special Editions when they are released.

I'd be interested to know what's on the 2-disc Dr. Strangelove, but the current special edition is pretty good as is.

Nice, still havent picked up the first version, so i guess i can wait longer.

Likewise. Held off due to TCM's occasional showings. Glad I did.

That's it... no more purchases until the inevitable 2-disc set comes out :D

Wait, I'm confused; I thought the Superbit was going to be a two-disc with exclusive/new extras ... now there's going to be a seperate two-disc right after it?

ARGH!!!!!

Ah well, keep us all posted as to what will be on these new discs, so that we can purchase informedly.

I can't wait for the 3 disc set in 2006. WOO-HOO!!!

Superbit will be barebones, DTS and Dolby 5.1
$26.95 October

2-Disc will be with extras, DTS and Dolby 5.1
$34.95 November

Strong agreement
