Gattaca SE
 
Over at chud.com,director Andrew Niccol said that Ethan Hawke and Jude Law are doing a commentary for a new release of Gattaca. :thumbsup:. You may now post about how you just bought the superbit at the BB sale.

Thats like the only movie I didn't pick up that I like. :up:

ReduxGuy 09-14-05 09:27 PM

I knew I've held out on buying Gattaca for a reason.

dx23 09-14-05 09:58 PM

Finally!!! The monkeys at Columbia Pictures recently dropped the price for Gattaca, but the only copies I see at stores are all full screen.

critterdvd 09-14-05 09:59 PM

I've been waiting for this one.

DrGerbil 09-14-05 10:06 PM

Great film. I own the original release, but I will definitely be getting this! :thumbsup:

dolphinboy 09-14-05 10:18 PM

That commentary track should provide a lot of useful tips on how to cheat on your wife and fiance.

muggins 09-14-05 10:26 PM

....and I just placed an order for Gattaca because of the DDD sale earlier today. :(

I thought it was a dual-sided with 2.35 and 1.33. Did I mess up?

marty888 09-14-05 11:08 PM

Definitely interested in getting this! Wonder what other extras might be included.

Not to take this thread on a tangent, but what WAS Ethan Hawke thinking?

PopcornTreeCt 09-14-05 11:12 PM

Cool news. One of my favorite sci-fi movies of all time.

No, Columbia messed up: it's one of the titles they've dropped the widescreen side from while keeping the UPC code the same. However, it was done fairly recently, so there's a chance you'll get the one with WS. If you get it and Jude Law is on the cover, you'll know it's fullscreen only.

I'll probably end up getting this, but unless there's a new transfer I'll hang on to the Superbit I just got. I'm almost sure the SE won't have DTS.

QuikSilver 09-14-05 11:36 PM

This is one of my favorite movies. I knew a double dip would come since this is Columbia. Dolphinboy, your comment is so true and funny.

eedoon 09-15-05 12:05 AM

This is good news. I'm in! :banana:

Thank you. Hey, I just bought the Superbit on sale at Best Buy last month!

Yeah, him and Jude both! Law just got recently busted for cheating on his spouse, as well.

slowcloud 09-15-05 05:44 AM

This was the first DVD I bought, now it will be the latest I re-sell, so I can await the SE...

chente 09-15-05 10:28 AM

I'm happy with the Superbit I just bought.

Numes 09-15-05 11:43 AM

Excellent news. I just watched it last week for the first time in a few years. A SE would be great!

Johnny Zhivago 09-15-05 11:47 AM

I've had the Superbit since it was released... Good enough for me. Great film.

Fok 09-15-05 12:10 PM

I'm pretty happy with the current release..........well kinda

Crow331 09-15-05 01:36 PM

Great news. I had never seen the movie until I caught it on cable a couple months ago. Wow, I loved it!! This movie was VERY poorly marketed. It's about nothing I thought it was. I'll definitely be buying this, thanks for the heads up!

Gattaca was also the first DVD I bought, at the same time I bought the player.

Cornelius1047 09-15-05 09:04 PM

I guess I'll sell off my copy once we get an official announcement. I got it as part of a 2 for $15 deal awhile back. It's actually something I've watched on DVD since purchasing it (you don't want to know how many have still yet to see the inside of my player, let alone feel oxygen). Anyone think they'll release around the time Lord Of War hits DVD?

slowcloud 09-16-05 05:18 AM

It would be great if it turns out to be one of those ultimate superbit special editions with the movie on one DVD and the extras on another in a 2 DVD set.

Didn't they re-release it just recently with that different greenish cover? Makes me wonder why they would all of a sudden spring us with a SE...

joliom 09-16-05 05:51 AM

I held off on buying the Superbit until I could find a good price/discount, so this is one occassion where it actually pays off! Usually I end up in the 'I just bought the other DVD and now they're announcing a newer better version' camp.

Show me a beautiful woman, and I'll show you a guy who is tired of screwing her...

steebo777 09-16-05 07:22 AM

I'm happy with my SB version.

Different consumers targeted? The recent re-release is a downgrade to foolscreen only. Hopefully, the new SE will be an upgrade.

matome 09-16-05 07:53 AM

The Superbit is fine for me.

You were holding off for a better price than $9.99????

shawagg 09-17-05 01:56 AM

Well, I'll be returning the Superbit to BB now.

I missed out on the BestBuy sale; I meant that I hadn't bought it all this time because it's usually $20+.

Squirrel God 09-17-05 03:41 PM

I actually upgraded to the Superbit from the previous version. I was willing to lose the extras for the better PQ and the DTS, and I'm glad I did, so I can't see me triple dipping :)

DrGerbil 09-17-05 04:45 PM

Seriously, and at what point are they going to release the SE? Next Summer? Sorry, can't go that long without this movie. :)

asianxcore 09-17-05 06:12 PM

might double-dip on this one, depending on the extras and so on. great movie. anyone else think the current re-release cover of this movie is terrible? saw it the other day at Borders.

CD-Wow has the Superbit for $6.95 shipped if you go through the $2 discount link (just search for it on Google).:)

filmerp 05-07-06 06:08 PM

Are we still without an SE release?
I saw about to buy the green cover version the other day. Did someone post that the green cover is full-screen only, or is it a flipper with both versions like the original?

lamphorn 05-07-06 07:51 PM

Gattaca wuz duh furst DVD I evah bot 6 yeeers agoo. Still yusing the saim DVD plair sins.

Full-screen only; another meaningless Columbia/Sony downgrade.
