The Ten Commandments 3 Disc Anniversary Edition 03.21.06
The Ten Commandments 3 Disc Anniversary Edition 03.21.06
not much info out, but it just went up for preorder http://www.dvdplanet.com/product_lis...641&format=DVD if your keeping count, this is the third release. |
if your keeping count, this is the third release. Can't wait for details! |
I never got around to picking this up, but it's a great movie. I'll definitely get it this time.
|
Wow, the 2-disc was pretty packed. Wonder what they're adding to it? :hscratch:
Looks like 2006 is going to be the year of double-, triple-, and quad-dips. I think the studios are running out of things to release. :) |
i think more than that its that their is safety in certain titles. They know they can re-sell certain movies (this one just in time for easter). Their have been alot of articles in the trades about re-releasing. Catalog title sales were down for 2005, and they want some sure fire cash flow coming in on older titles.
|
Well, the current release is indeed a winner, with a great commentary track. This new edition is going to need some knock-out extras to get my money.
|
It would be nice if that 3rd disc includes the silent version (a great film as well) ala Ben Hur SE.
|
The 3 disc better be SPECTACULAR, as the 2-disc was pretty good already.
|
Oy. For me to rebuy this, it'd better have the silent version, Charlton Heston commentary, DTS-ES, and a commentary by God and Moses.
|
There's still plenty of non-anamorphic and barebones titles that need to get rereleased. It's upsetting that some titles get 3 and 4 releases, when there are plenty that hasn't received a proper release: Scream, True Lies, The Abyss, The Game, Armageddon, etc...........................................................
|
How about giving us the Passion of the Christ Special Edition?! It's a different studio, I know.
|
Hmm, glad I skipped the 2nd release. If this new one carries everything over, I can go straight from version 1 to version 3! :)
|
According to the DVDEmpire listing, the 3-disc Ten Commandments is including the 1923 silent movie version.
http://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_ite...item_id=861634 Glad I held buying the previous release. |
Sweet. I knew I kept passing this one by for a reason. I almost bought it like 20 times, but always put it back down.
The 3 disc will be mine for sure. |
I'll wait for the definitive 10 disk version to come out. If they keep this up there will be a 10th.

Hey, that's on my birthday! I dipped on the second release, but won't really mind doing so here, as long as it's as affordable as the re-release was.

there are still thousands of catalog titles that would have a good shelf life. I think some companies are just trying to develop there own way of doing releases...warner with price breaks on box sets, fox with numbered series like studio classics and film noir, universal with the franchise packs...

|
Good thing I've never bought any of the previous releases. This is a definite purchase.
|
nice cover art. :thumbsup:

Any details on what's on the discs, besides the silent film? If there's nothing else new, might skip it. Has the movie been remastered for this release? |
Nice artwork!
|
I just might have to pick this up.

From dvdactive.com:
Title: The Ten Commandments Starring: Charlton Heston Released: 21st March 2006 SRP: Price TBC Further Details: Paramount has announced a new 50th Anniversary Edition of The Ten Commandments which stars Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, Anne Baxter and Edward G. Robinson. As well as the 1956 Cecil B. DeMille directed film, the three-disc package will also include DeMille's 1923 silent film with Theodore Roberts. Extras on the 1956 version will include a commentary by Katherine Orrison, author of Written in Stone: Making Cecil B. DeMille's Epic, The Ten Commandments, a six-part documentary (Moses, The Chosen People, Land of the Pharaohs, The Paramount Lot, The Score, and Mr. DeMille), Newsreel: The Ten Commandments Premiere in New York, and trailers (1956 “Making of” Trailer, 1966 Trailer and 1989 Trailer). The 1923 version will again carry a commentary by Katherine Orrison, along with hand-tinted footage of the Exodus and Parting of the Red Sea Sequence. We've attached the official artwork below: |
Sweet. I still haven't picked this one up yet (although I did buy the SCE for my father when it first came out). Glad I held off buying one of the SCE for myself since this one has the 1923 version as well. Looks like another preorder for me!
|
I'm going to double dip on this one :D
|
I held out on both prior releases, so I'll finally get it. Although, I really wish they touted a new digital remaster. The '56 film was restored by making a new dupe negative from the VistaVision B&W separations. While it looks good, I'm sure that a new HD transfer would make it look a lot better.
|
Well, I loved the Ben-Hur 4-disc, so I'll probably get a kick out of this one, too. (I know, I know, different studios.) The cover for the Ben-Hur set is a lot better than this one, though. Seems too busy.
|
I should wait for the next edition which will feature a pewter stone replica of the actual ten commandments. Of course carved into the stone will feature each commandment, all the same, reading: Thou shalt keep buying the same movie over and over.
Since this new edition features the silent version I am really tempted... |
