I smell a Elektra:1.5 or Elektra:Director's Cut in November. I smell it like it will come out the same day Fantastic Four comes to DVD. This is a strong smell. And for once I hope it's real,as I want a SE of this. Again,I LOVED it.

I just went region-free. I bought the Cyberhome CH-DVD 300 at Wal-Mart yesterday for $38.00 and change. Very easy remote hack to make the player region free!!

Take care!!

From the negative feedback that Ive been hearing from this movie, I doubt that I will pick this title up. Even, Jennifer Garner in a sexy outfit couldnt make me want to buy this stinker.

Just be aware that I don't believe this player does proper 16x9 PAL conversion, so you're gonna get some minor distortion when playing R2/R4 PAL discs. It's the only reason that held me back from picking this up as a backup region-free player. Sure can't beat the price otherwise, though!

Thanks for the info! I only have Army Of Darkness Region 3 at the moment and it played and looked great!! I will keep your info in mind when I get around to getting any R2 or R4 dvd's

Apoligies to the mods for getting this thread off topic!!

Take care all!!

Do you consider that a trusted news source?

I'm not saying Garner didn't say this, but there's been no quote.

FOUR opens 7/4.

It won't come with moviecash.

Why not? X-Men 1.5 came with a moviecash ticket that could be used for Daredevil or X-Men 2 - LONG before X-Men 2 came out.

Why not? Because I wasn't aware the cash was good for X2 in the past, that's why.

When the first trailer was released I couldn't believe how bad the movie looked.

This is one DVD that I have no desire to ever own or see.

The Phillips 642 runs $70 at Walmart and Target. The one time hack takes less than 30 seconds. There are several threads in the international forum if you want more info.

I saw the movie and liked it. It's not great, but I found it entertaining and this is NOWHERE near the piece of crap the critics are making it out to be. I look forward to the dvd, I hope one of the deleted scenes is the Affleck/Daredevil cameo cause I wanna see it.

FUN GAME FOR ELEKTRA FANS.
Replay Jennifer Garner's SAG Award acceptance speech and replace 'Alias' with 'Elektra'. Absolutely surreal.

emhello 02-07-05 12:23 AM

Bad movie. I won't be getting this.

Mike Lowrey 02-11-05 10:24 PM

DVDAnswers has posted the final cover-art for this disc.

I kinda agree. I guess it's kind of a curse for the first movie of the would-be franchise in which they don't really have the time to get into some of the well established comic book story lines.

Has anyone heard if other regions are getting a 2disc release, as are most of Fox's big titles nowadays. I checked cd-wow and they say that the R2 is just one disc, and don't have anything listed for R3. If they're gonna definately release a 2disc version here, or elsewhere, I'll go ahead and just pick up that. Just wanted to avoid a double dip if possible.

Any info? Thanks.

Do you pride yourself on only keeping hits in your collection?

I would not put this movie in my collection if it was given to me. Unless she got nude in the flick.

I'm just noticing this, but a sneak peak at Family Guy and American Dad? Seems a bit weird.

I posted this in the movie forum's post regarding Elektra, but here it is again if you missed it:

DVD review:
http://www.dvdfile.com/software/revi...1/elektra.html

Deleted Affleck scene from Elektra
http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/dvd.php?id=1564

RopeOfSilicon.com has info about the forthcoming Elektra DVD, they also have the deleted Ben Affleck/Matt Murdock cameo. The scene was cut by the studio who feared another possible Gigli ‘Ben & Jen’ fiasco after it was learned the Daredevil & Elektra actors had begun dating.

You can view the deleted scene titled “Come Back” at the link above in the DVD Multimedia section of the site.
