REDS (October 3rd)
courtesy of DVDACTIVE:
Paramount Home Entertainment has sent over some early artwork for a 25th Anniversary Edition of Reds which stars Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton. This new two-disc special edition will be available to own from the 3rd October this year. I'm afraid Paramount has yet to reveal the disc specs for this one, but we'll bring you the full details very shortly. Stay tuned. For now though, here's a look at the package artwork. As you can see from the bright red sticker - the artwork has yet to be finalised.
(please feel free to post the artwork)

FINALLY! This DVD is long overdue. Now if Paramount release Looking For Mr.Goodbar in the near future, I will be satisfied.

Excellent news. There was an article on Reds in Vanity Fair a while ago, which made me think that something was possibly in the works. Interesting history behind this one, which should make for some fascinating extras.

Many would agree that this movie was more deserving of the Oscar back in 1981 instead of Chariots of Fire. It is certainly a long overdue title that I welcome.

I will always remember my theatrical viewing of this movie because at the end (after the final scene ended but BEFORE the credits rolled), an employee in the back of the auditorium began shouting (through a BULLHORN, no less), "PLEASE CLEAR THE THEATRE NOW. PLEASE CLEAR THE THEATRE NOW." Made me want to run to the box office and demand my money back. I enjoyed the movie and preferred to stay for the full credit roll.
Oh...and there was an intermission too. Nowadays they expect you to sit through a 200-minute movie in one session.

Noticed tonight that this had moved from the "saved" (essentially unavailable) section of my Netflix queue into the available section, albeit listing as a very long wait. Is there an explanation as to how they've supposedly gotten access to this? I haven't heard of a R0 copy out there (as Netflix will sometimes carry those) and it's far too early for the R1 copy to have snuck out.

I've cleaned up the old one here a bit (bitmap, 4.2mb).
I never realised until cleaning that that the red bit at the bottom is a picture ofrevolutionists terrorists.

One of my all time favorite epics. I also saw it in the theater and remember the intermission. Very disappointed there is not a commentary. I consider this a masterpiece and can't believe Beatty wouldn't do one. Also was hoping for something about the cinematography by Vittorio Storaro which is amazing. Here's hoping the doc is excellent. Regardless, I'm getting this.

I blind buyed this, and I can confirm that the slipcover is the same but the inside artwork is different than pictured above but uses the same image it's just shinier and covers more space. This is a 25th anniversary DVD and there is no disc art for this release from Paramount it just has a cheap frosty grey finish on both DVD's with the logo and all the usual DVD info. The release date has also been bumped to 10/17/2006 but some copys have been released early because they were shipped in boxes for 10/10/2006. Very nice DVD that could have used some DISC ART!
