Father of the Bride SE this June.
 

I was just about to break down and buy the DVD of Father of the Bride (91), when I noticed on www.amazon.com that they have a Special Anniversasry Edition listed for release on June 7. No specs yet, but it looks pretty official. Guess I'll be waiting a few months to get it now.

good news...wife loves this one...wish some other steve martin faves would arrive

there is a whole thread concerning these

Oh .... <i>that</i> Father Of The Bride ....

Ok, it was fun, but an SE of the <i>original</i> including Father's Little Dividend would be great!

YAYYYYYYYYY!!!

The original is non-anamorphic! :) Wonder if this means a re-release for the 2nd movie (which is also non-anamorphic).

Glad to hear it. :up:

Excellent, looking forward to the anamorphic transfer.

Wonder if it will have it.

Aside from the Ransom: SE released last year, I can't think of any other new/re-released title that has not been anamorphic in the last couple of years.

True, I'm just assuming that, since I don't think any major studio in their right mind would release a non-anamorphic disc these days (much less a RE-release of a previos disc). Then again, the <i>Ransom SE</i> example was brought up, and these two movies ARE from the same parent company...

Agree wholeheartedly. Way overdue.

True....BUT Ransom was available as a SE in other countries for a couple of years before we got it here and most of those companies have it as non-anamorphic as well. Essentially all they did was just release the same thing here. No new transfer.

However, FOTB hasn't been released ANYWHERE as a SE. I'm betting that this is 16x9.

But this release also begs another question: exactly what anniversary are we celebrating? The 14th???

Duh, it's the "we need to trot this out again to exploit June weddings and milk a very popular catalog title" anniversary.

Is June a typical wedding month or something??
I'm confused.

And I have no problem with re-releases on non-anamorphic discs. It's not like this has been released in the last 5 years. lol

While the June wedding thing is a possibility (I know a few people getting married this June) Steve Martin's Pink Panther comes out in July, I would bet that might have something to do with the timing.

EDIT: Oops, I see that PP is set for a Sept. release now.

I'm not familiar with that anniversary . . . what is that, paper? Gold? Silver?



;)

I believe it's green paper, with presidents on it.

This sounds good, but I don't trust Amazon. I remember way back when they posted Back to the Future: Special Edition way before the trilogy was announced as a single disc release, then it was canceled soon after. So I don't trust anything that Amazon says.

P.S. The Jerk: Special Edition was announced as being released later this year along with other Universal movies including a re-release of BTTF.

If it's anamorphic I'll be picking it up but I wish they would release an anamorphic SE of FOTB part 2 at the same time. Both need an anamorphic transfer & if it's for the $$$ they could double their profits.

:lol:

:D :up:

Yay this news has officially made my day! Glad I didnt purchase it beforehand.

A recent article claims this is the 15th anniversary edition which would be..umm...NEXT year. lol
