The Ultimate Oliver Stone Collection 10/19
Just found this article from Variety.com at this link from yahoo:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...in_warner_dvds
It seems that all are previously released movies ecxcept the 2 documentaries "Persona Non Grata" and "Looking For Fidel". It will also include the MGM titles "Platoon:SE" and "Salvador:SE" and a ticket for "ALexander". The price doesn't look that bad since it would probably retail for less than $100.

It would be nice if they got the rights back for NBK:uncut and give it a 16.9 treatment.
I won't bother with the set either. Since it would be awaste buying films I already own..when I could save more by buying the few that I don't have yet individually.

Having not picked up the last set, there is not way i'll not be picking this one up.
I wonder if this will contain the new JFK disc and the new BOTFOJ dvd.

The only discs I'd want out of that set would be Salvador, JFK, Heaven and Earth and perhaps Nixon. I've already got the Platoon SE. Alexander is the only one that I'm definately getting beit a historical epic.

The only Oliver Stone DVD I own is the NBK DC, so this looks like a good deal for me.
I have to wonder what kind of packaging this will come in. The article says a "14-disc DVD collector's set featuring 12 of Oliver Stone's movies," and that box in the DVDAnswers link looks too small to contain that many discs. So are we looking at keepcases, snappers, a fold-out digipak, or a "Godfather"-style digipak?
Does this mean that some of the two-disc sets (JFK, Doors, AGS, Nixon) won't include the bonus discs? Because, by the description, it sounds like it'll have to be a minimum of 18 or 19 discs to include all of the bonus materials.
Need answers...

Hmmm...I have probably half of those films and already have Born on the Fourth of July on my Half.com listings since the new one is supposed to be anamorphic. I would be interested in keepcases of Any Given Sunday and Natural Born Killers, as well as Nixon if its anamorphic. Otherwise Im not that interested in getting this set, so hopefully there will be individual releases as well.

Anyone know what differences there are between this set and the original Oliver Stone box set? Besides the added movie, that is. Is the Born on the Fourth of July the SE one? Otherwise, is everything else the same?
Plastic or cardboard DVD cases?
