I hope that widescreen "Manhunter" disc is available seperately.
I understand that MGM owns the rights to "Manhunter" and not "Red Dragon" but "Manhunter" simply isn't connected to "Silence" and "Hannibal" (especially ever since the vastly-superior "Red Dragon" was released), it tanked and Orion actually went to lengths to distance "Silence" from "Manhunter" as opposed to playing up the connection. I also don't wanna have to repurchase "Hannibal" to get the new "Silence" and "Manhunter" discs.

The only decent DVD release up to now has been the Japanese Region 2 disc, which is the real theatrical cut in fairly good quality and has a DTS track.

Too bad they couldn't include the commentary Criterion did, somehow.
Because it means I have to keep hanging onto the criterion edition, despite the number of new versions I keep buying, etc.

I own the R2 Japan DTS release and the Anchor Bay "Divimax" edition (for the extras).

ouch. February is one of the dumping grounds for alot of the studio's crappier films. There are exceptions though, as Silence of the Lambs was released that month. But this new film has no Hopkins, Foster, or Demme.

Well, I already have the OOP Criterion Silence of the Lambs and the "Special Edition" MGM version that came out when Hannibal did in August 2001.
I'll prob. end up buying the new SE if the features turn out to be any good. Probably wait until a see a good price for it though or wait until the next DDD 20% off sale....

I hope they fix the sound and picture issues (the current mgm disc is too bright, and there is no bass whatso ever during the prison scene's between Clarice and Hannibal (even though the french and spanish 2.0 tracks contain bass)

This will be the third time I gladly buy Silence.
