And just let me second your recommendation of the French disc. I just watched it on Thursday night and it was fantastic. Full agreement with your review. :thumbsup: That set, coupled with the UK special edition, will hold me over until we eventually get a decent SE in the U.S. (which is seeming less and less likely). |
God, are we ever going to get this release in the States? I mean what's the frakin' deal?

I've been really jonesing for this lately. I think my heart actually jumped when I saw the thread on the first page. Damnable spammers. Damn them all to hell!
|
So what exactly has happened with this release? Postponed indefinitely and silence?

(Yep, no news at all. But if you go region free, there's a fantastic French edition recently released.) |

getting the french copy isn't all that great, because there's tons of special features that aren't subtitled :(
|
The anamorphic picture and DTS is good enough for me.

It wouldn't be so bad if they'd just say "It got delayed because of [BLANK] and our new estimated release date is [BLANK]" or "Sorry but it's been canceled forever, goodbye." But no. Instead they just leave us hanging here, wondering whether we should import or wait.

Not sure what it means, but Dune: Behind the Scenes
Says they got a note that as of Aug 25, the production company doing the extras said they had finished their work. SPECULATION on my part: all the extras are finished, but Universal is still trying to figure out if they can make a widescreen extended edition. /Speculation. |
They probably pulled it so they could revamp the artwork to make it the "Dune: Totally Spiced Up Edition" and switch to a poorly mastered dual-sided, dual-layered disc plagued with freeze-ups and other digital artifacts just for consistency's sake.

Like bboisvert said, there is a great French version with a WONDERFUL picture and great DTS sound. Go Region free you wont regret it!! I still have lots of other DVDs to watch in the meantime, so I can wait, but I just hate being left in limbo. . . Damn, yooouuu, Universal! |
I've been reading that they are trying to tie it in with something... but that doesn't make any sense because the closest thing on their release schedule to Dune is "SerenitY" and that opens in a little over a week... maybe for the DVD?

:fart: could it be?
from TFA: http://homevideo.universalstudios.co...?childId=34773 Disc 1 Original Theatrical Version Run Time: 2 Hours 17 Minutes MPAA Rating: PG-13 Bonus Materials Deleted Scenes with Introduction by Raffaella De Laurentiis Designing Dune Special Effects Models & Miniatures Wardrobe Design Photograph Gallery Production Notes Technical Information Audio English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround French Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo Captions: English Subtitles: English SDH, French, Spanish Picture: Anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1) Color Disc 2 Extended Version Run Time: 2 Hours 57 Minutes MPAA Rating: Not Rated Technical Information Audio English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Captions: English Subtitles: English SDH, French, Spanish Picture: Anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1) Color So the extended cut is still looking like 2.35:1 instead of 4x3, interesting. and dangit, that's still four months out :( |
I'd love to hear that it's true, but I ain't holding my breath just yet . . . http://www.mindspring.com/~boycekb/i...ies/Grumpy.gif

I love how they word this - unrated like it's R-rated or something. can't wait to see the deleted scenes section - wonder if it's gonna be as detailed or informative as the Video Watchdog article had written up on (so many eons ago). |
I can go into a store and find plenty of "unrated" titles meant for kids. It just means that they didn't submit it to the MPAA.
Certainly, glad to see this back on track, though I had been hoping for before Christmas. |
