Munich rumored dvd release: 5/9/06
 

According to the digital bits, Munich will be released on 5/9. I'm guessing Paramount is handling this release? Whomever it is, there must be a DTS track on there.

Munich was a Universal/Dreamworks/Alliance Atlantis production, so Paramount doesn't come into the equation. I believe Dreamworks is handling the disc. As per Spielberg, this will definitely have a DTS track on it. I'm sure it'll fall into the standard SS release pattern, single movie only disc, two disc deluxe edition with a great making of doc.

Digital Bits worded it: "We also expect Dreamworks (via Paramount) to bow Steven Spielberg's Munich on 5/9". Paramount owns Dreamworks now, so I'm sure they now handle all the distribution. I think part of the deal was the Dreamworks name will be used on 6 or 7 titles per year. Basically, titles Spielberg is involved in.

If they have a 2-disc set, I'm all over that. I loved this movie. It was just very well-made. Very gritty. Plus, there was a couple of Hitchcock-like moments in the film.

The last two Spielberg films to get a dual release were "The Terminal" and "War of the Worlds". "The Terminal" didn't exactly set the box office ablaze but it still had a lot more general appeal than "Munich". Because "Munich" doesn't have that "Joe Sixpack" appeal, I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was just a single 2-disc release.

I'll definitely be picking this one up. I loved it.

I can't wait. One of the year's absolute best with Oscar-worthy editing by Michael Kahn..

I'm hoping it is just a single 2-disc set, I'm really tired of companies releasing two versions and releasing the 2-disc for 10-15 dollars more (War of the Worlds). This was in my top 3 of 2005, really looking forward to this release.

The Digital Bits has some early artwork up, apparently from an online survey Dreamworks had last week.

quite like 2 and 3 myself.. and i sure hope they don't go for the cluttered 4 or 5.

I prefer the 2nd choice with the red banner. I think that's the original 1-sheet poster.

First or second.

same here.

I like the third, although it reminds me of something else (I can't think of what at the moment).

I like 1st or 2nd, maybe one could be the slipcover and one could be the armary art.

A Beautiful Mind?

I like the second the best, by far.

I like the second cover a lot. Has a lot of great contrast with the deep maroonish-red and tealish-blues. Also, it's simple - as opposed to very complex designs that are flushing the cover market as of late.

First or Third.

Wish this was coming out sooner... might still try and catch in theaters.

Both have some similarities. But what looks familiar to me is the lettering in the background.

first or second for me (but i think it will end up being the fourth or fifth).

I like the 2nd best, followed by the 3rd, but all are nice covers IMO.

Oh, son of a (BLEEP)!!! They better not overcharge for the limited set like they did with Jarhead.

I can't wait. Munich was one of the most underrated films of 2005 (#4 on my list) that got screwed out of an Oscar for Editing (thank you very much, Paul Haggis and Crash).

Great news! I will definately be picking up the 2 disc myself, no matter what cover art they choose. I like the third myself, kind of reminds me of Cinderella Man 2 disc with that tannish border.

Hopefully, they'll go with the real theatrical art for the two-disc:

A beautifully haunting image.

Stunning movie. Thrilling, provocative, and heart-breaking. Spielberg never ceases to amaze me. Count me in for the 2-Disc unless they pull another hard-to-find/insanely-expensive trick again.

I kinda doubt they will.

When I went to Best Buy to get the 2-disc of War, it was ALL OVER the place. I think it outnumbered the single version 2 to 1.

Either one of the covers with Bana and the gun shot would be perfect in my book.

Really enjoyed this movie and will definitely be picking it up.

I think (and hope) they will choose the original cover art for the 2-disc and have another shot for the 1, kinda like what was done for Walk the Line and War of the Worlds.

two disc for me. great news.

Wow, out on DVD so soon? I'll have to at least snag the 1-disc, seems a lot of people liked it.

Will probably pick up the 2-disc. Speilberg's supplementals are usually pretty entertaining. But, as stated above, let's not charge an extra arm and a leg for it, mmkay? ;)

I thought this movie was excellent, but it's not the sort of thing that plays well on my pathetic excuse for a "home theater."

Great movie. I'll be in for the 2 Disc'er for sure.....

Did anything get decided over that "cover" option poll mentioned at the start of this thread (i.e. anyone seen the cover art yet)?

Did not see this one, but very interested...The supplements on the 2-disc sound pretty good as well, but its alot to spend for a blind buy, that is potentially very hit or miss for me.

thedigitalbits reported that the WOTW 2-disc set will be for SRP $36.98 but then it turned out that the price is $39.00.i wonder if things will be the same in this case.

and oh yeah, the 2-disc set will be so limited, just like the 2-disc WOTW and the 3-disc The Terminal. :rolleyes:

On DavisDVD, they have some coverart available, probably for the one-disc edition. It's just as a thumbnail that doesn't make a larger version available.

That was one of the favs I think - wonder what the CE will look like?

Well, at least it's the theatrical one-sheet.
