Bummer. I've never seen the movie, but was looking forward to it.

BTW, it's weird that they haven't announced any new Centennial Collection releases yet, since they've been releasing them every two months, and the most recent ones just came out last week. I hope they haven't already given up on the Centennial Collection, now that I've decided to collect them all. -eek-

Why does this somehow not surprise me?

re: The African Queen? 23 March 10
 

Oh that is not cool. If you're going to publish news about something as long anticipated as The African Queen hitting DVD you better be double and triple checking your sources.

re: The African Queen? 23 March 10
 

That sucks!

I knew it! I knew it! Attica! Atticaaaa!

EDIT: My apologies for the bump, I followed a link from another topic, and couldn't control myself at the bad news...

Fingers crossed.

/thanks for the hopefully good news!

I'm not falling for it this time. They got me excited with the last rumor but I've learned.

re: The African Queen? 23 March 10
 

Agh! I know she'll treat me right this time... Won't she?

re: The African Queen? 23 March 10
 

Blu-ray of Logan's Run? Sweet!

I'll double dip on The African Queen as well, depending on extras.

re: The African Queen? 23 March 10
 

I'll believe it when it's in my HANDS. Again.

re: The African Queen? 23 March 10
 

Just dropping in because Amazon suddenly lists it as a valid pre-order, both DVD and Blu-Ray. No date, but it's a good sign.
I asked Amazon about 4 years ago to notify me if it ever came up, and they did. Yay.

re: The African Queen? 23 March 10
 

Sigh.

re: The African Queen? 23 March 10
 

exactly.

this has been available to pre order on amazon for months.
means nothing.

re: The African Queen? 23 March 10
 

Months? Weeks maybe but I don't think it's been months. And I agree it's not like having a real date, but it's not insignificant that they're actually taking orders.

re: The African Queen? 23 March 10
 

It is insignificant.

Amazon has had the current season of curb your enthusiasm for pre order since the season began.
They can put whatever movie they want up for order, what does it mean.
Amazon could put a complete and unedited version of WKRP up for order, wouldn't mean anything.

All it is is a place holder nothing else.

re: The African Queen? 23 March 10
 

Then why don't they have every movie and TV show available to buy? Heck, that means they could just throw up The Wonder Years, Song of the South, and everything else. I think the fact that there's actually a price does mean something.

re: The African Queen? 23 March 10
 

I might as well check out at my local Fye and see if they still have that import copy I saw months ago. It's probably won't have the best PQ , but better than nothing. Paramount is letting me down. :(

re: The African Queen? 23 March 10
 

It doesn't.

Why would amazon know something no other retailer knows.
All you can do is use that link to pre order it and hopefully lock in a price and hope it doesn't get cancelled again.

I bit the bullet a while back and picked up the Katharine Hepburn Centenary Collection R2 ITV DVD. The collection also contains The Iron Petticoat, On Golden Pond and an interview with Clive James. The African Queen dvd contains trailer, biographies, stills and posters and a commentary by Jack Cardiff. The picture quality is certainly watchable and does not detract from the movie. Of course I would like this movie to receive a restoration that it deserves. The collection is the size of a normal dvd case and is reasonably priced.

To go to your grave without seeing this movie would be a shame. The chemistry between Hepburn and Bogart is excellent and the location shooting adds to why this picture has the reputation it does.

re: The African Queen? 23 March 10
 

Well hopefully Amazon is on to something. DVDAF also has it listed as "Not Yet Announced" for release date, but shows the same picture as Amazon and lists it part of the Paramount Centennial Collection.

re: The African Queen? 23 March 10
 

Wal-Mart.com has 02/23/2010 listed for the release date.
