It's being put out by Zeitgeist Films - they did a good job with The Corporation, haven't seen any of their other releases. DVD will include Greenaway commentary.

EDIT: Zeitgeist is also releasing Greenaway's The Draughtsman's Contract on the same day:

Hopefully "Thief, Cook" isn't too far off.

or 'Prospero's Books' or 'The Baby of Macon' or 'Tulse Luper Trilogy'

come on, more Greenaway is a good thing.

Great news!

Has Prospero's Books been released on DVD anywhere yet?

Giles

Spain - it had embedded spanish subtitles, as was the first Tulse Luper film, for the record the only DVD appearence of 'Baby of Macon' was in Australia.

Anchor Bay released that on DVD many years ago. It's out of print now, but I'm sure used copies are available on the secondary market.

It was cropped to 1.85:1, if I recall correctly.

Greenaway has such bad video karma. It's a shame. His movies deserve better.

Peep

Well, "A Zed & Two Noughts" is also a rerelease. I own it (and "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover") but would be will to rebuy for more extras or better transfers.

Giles

your recollection is correct it was cropped

as for deserving better, yes he does, alot... the British Film Institute hasn't released much to rectify the missing films on DVD either.

I know...but, the transfer isn't the best and it costs a ton of money.

I've actually got a copy of Cook Thief on eBay right now and it is sitting at $65

I was pretty happy with the 'Early Fims/The Falls' set on Zeitgeist, so I assume I'll be dumping my old Fox Lorber sets of both of these.

Hopesully this is gonna be a continuing series of remasters. I'd love to get rid of my pan and scan laserdiscs of 'Prospero's Books' and 'Drowning BY Numbers.'

Great news -- saw this a while back -- eager to see it again.
