Ok...here's a list of features from my box set:

Chinese Coffee: Widescreen Anamorphic 1.85:1
99 Minutes
2000
Commentary by Al Pacino
Film Prologue with Al Pacino
Epilogue with Al Pacino, Jerry Orbach at the actor's
Studio with film professor Richard Brown

The Local Stigmatic: Widescreen Anamorphic 1.85:1
56 Minutes
1990
Commentary by Al Pacino
Film Prologue with Al Pacino
Epilogue with Al Pacino and Director David Wheeler
at the Actor's Studio with film professor Richard Brown

Looking For Richard: Widescreen Anamorphic 1.85:1
112 Minutes

Prologue With Al Pacino
Epilogue with Al Pacino and Alec Baldwin

Babbelonia: Full Frame 1.33:1

I imagine this is what will be released in April. Still don't know how they were available for sale here In Canada and not in the U.S. Also "Author, Author" and "Panic In Needle Park" is not included in this set, but there was a rectangle "Also Available" insert included in the box. If anyone's interested in scans of this or the covers i can post them.

Wow, I never thought Pacino would do a commentary.

Anyway, still waiting for Cruising.

OK, in 4 days (on 6/19) this set is supposed to be released yet again.
DVD empire has back cover art for the set and it appears to come in a box with 4 slim line cases for each disk in the set.
i am about to pre-order this from DD but amazon appears to not even have a listing for this so my question is, can anyone confirm that is is going to be coming out this time?
It seems that this was never going to be released with all of these delays.

Pacino was just on Larry King advertising it, so I'm guessing it is coming out this time.

I've had mine since November and the movies are in regular keep cases. Interested in knowing if the version released Tues (June 19th) have been changed to slim line cases.

Why doesn't amazon have this set (the one with Looking For Richard)? It's available through some market place sellers, but not amazon itself - or any other website for that matter. What gives? Has anyone been able to find this at stores like Best Buy?

The box set seems to be widely available in Canada. I received my order last week from Amazon.ca and I've also seen it on the shelf at Futureshop.

Nice call with Frys - they had it on sale too ($24), which is pretty good for two movies, a short film and a documentary, not to mention the extras with Al.

Though I have to bitch about it's packaging. Since these discs will only be available in this set, why did they package them in 4 separate, full-sized amaray cases? They could have just jammed thim into a nice little digipack that could've taken up half the space. Or heck, instead of 4 discs, the whole shebang could've easily fit onto to two discs - single sided ones at that. Oh well.
