The Game: SE finally??
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well...the following extras have just been passed in the UK by the BBFC:

00:02:17:11 THE GAME
00:01:31:08 THE GAME
00:00:57:03 (THE GAME TRAILER - TEST FOOTAGE)
00:29:04:16 (THE GAME - BEHIND THE SCENES)
00:09:27:07 (THE GAME - ON LOCATION)
00:01:09:06 (THE GAME ALTERNATIVE ENDING)

as well as a commentary.

This looks to be most of the extras from the Criterion laserdisc and I'm guessing they've been licensed for this other release. I'm assuming we'll get this here as well.

Let us all pray to which ever god we prey to, that this means something that we have all been looking for.

Never seen this movie, but I've heard alot about it. Fincher, for me at least, is kind of hit or miss. Thanks for the update.

NatrlBornThrllr 10-10-05 12:57 PM

I've never seen it either, and I'm a fan of every other Fincher movie that I've seen...so I'm definitely looking forward to this if it ever comes to be.

I'd definately double-dip on this when it comes out. If the import isn't that expensive (cd-wow), I may go ahead and go that route.

dick_grayson 10-10-05 01:25 PM

great movie. I've been holding out on the dvd for a special edition


:up:

Geofferson 10-10-05 01:38 PM

Hope this finally gets a US release. :up:

no date given...yet. but if they were submitted, i would assume within the next 4 months.

dvd_luver 10-10-05 02:36 PM

this deserves the Special Edition treatment, all the way!

Count de Monet 10-10-05 02:57 PM

Can't wait. I just wish Criterion was doing it. I still prize my Criterion LD of THE GAME.

Kant 11-23-05 12:41 PM

Anybody heard anything new about this?

Releasing this as a SE makes complete sense, it stinks it has not been given it's due yet.

In case anyone wonders about the Alternate Ending

Spoiler:
Nicolas is leaving the hotel when the doorman asks him if he wants a cab. He says "I don't think so", and walks off

Professor Frink 11-23-05 03:06 PM

I always heard that the alternate ending was:
Spoiler:
He briefly talks to Christine, and before her cab pulls away she hands him a note. Standing there alone he reads the note and it says "Welcome to Phase 2".


I have no idea if that was ever filmed, but I remember hearing about it somewhere.

There's many possible endings Fincher wanted to go. One was that the game never ends at all (which would be fitting for what you said).

digitalfreaknyc 11-23-05 03:46 PM

There are comments about these endings in the commentary.

Fincher Fan 11-24-05 01:14 AM

I may or may not be interested. I don't really like the director, either.

-wink- -wink- nudge nudge

I have the SE of Fight Club and Se7en, & the Superbit of Panic Room.
I'm holding out for this SE as well.

Funny this thread comes up... I was just watching this last night lamenting about an SE.

That's the second time you've mentioned that, digi. You better see a doctor.
