Now this is what the hell I am talkin about.
Fantastic (albeit expected) news! Must Buy for me. |
I never bought the original release so this is going to be a must-buy for me.
|
Will it be uncut? My BD version seems adequate. I'm not really into extras enough to buy again.
|
I bought the SDVD and the Blu-ray...don't think I'll get it again unless the extras are awesome, its uncut, is available on Blu-ray and I can sell my previous Blu-ray. Large list!
|
I held off buying the original release, largely because there were no commentaries. I will buy this one if the price isn't too steep on Amazon.
|
Since I just bought the original release in December (albeit for $9), let me be the first to say: f*ck.
|
I'm more than happy with my R3 uncut version. I can't imagine that there's going to be a crazy leap in image quality or anything.
|
Sweet. If this is uncut and has a DTS track I'm all over it.
|
If they double dip the blu-ray I'm going nuclear on Sony, starting with chucking my PS3 at the head of the highest exec I can find.

I wonder why this isn't being released just before the new movie.
|
I'm personally hoping this is released on Blu-Ray since I never picked up the original BD release.
Here's what's new to this release (compared to the old SD release. Don't have the BD so maybe some of it was released on that). The Road to Casino Royale Crew Commentary Deleted Scenes Paying Taxes Rescue & Recovery Old Boyfriend? James Bond in the Bahamas The Art of the Freerun Death in Venice Catching a Plane: From Storyboard to Screen Filmmaker Profiles Storyboard Sequence: Freerun Chase Ian Fleming: The Secret Road to Paradise |

For me to double dip it would have to include more than just some new extras.

I got the two disc with the casino royale deck of cards. This'll have to be free for me to double dip. Okay, maybe when it gets to the $5 bin....
|
That's why I didn't buy it.
|
I knew they were going to come out with a 3 disk...oh well.
|
I hope they do re-release this on BD.
Here are the Blu-ray's fantastic special features: Becoming Bond Bond Girls are Forever (standard def) Music video (standard def) If the extras are in HD, I will get this. |
And it still doesn't have DTS... damn.

I have 2 questions, if anyone can help me with an answer, I greatly appreciate it. First, this is the first I'd heard about an international unrated version. What's different about it? Second question: are the deleted scenes mentioned in the OP of any real significance? I used to be a DVD buyer who HAD to have the latest version if it came with more extras. But now I find that I really only care about deleted/alternate scenes, and seldom, if ever, watch other extras. So, if they aren't something I just can't live without, I'll stick with my 2-DVD set w/007 poker chip.

US version is cut in the stairwell fight scene to secure a PG-13 rating. Removed was Obanno's henchmen hitting the ground or Obanno crashing into the glass window. Additionally the struggle at the bottom of the stairwell was shortened. Not sure what other deleted scenes there are. |
i dont onw this yet so a purchase for me for sure.... great news...
|
Any idea why there hasn't been any news on this and why this isn't up for preorder anywhere?
|
i'm interested to know if there's going to be a blu ray release for this.

|
I'll pick it up because I never got around to buying the first release (I guess my procrastinating finally pays off).
|
R3 Korean is uncut, both SD and HD.
|
I may upgrade if the case will still fit in my Ultimate James Bond box set.
|
I don't know why they didn't include the original TV version of Casino Royale from the 50's. They had it on the spoof 1967 Casino Royale DVD set but are taking it off for the new edition, so it would have made sense to add it here for historical context of the story.
I may just pick this up on Blu Ray, though. It looks like a nice package. |
From dvdcompare, a summary description of the cuts: "When the completed version of the film was submitted for classification, reductions to the torture sequence had been made, including the removal of lingering shots of the rope, close shots of Bond's facial reaction and the substitution of a more distant shot of the beating compared to the original version."

They probably pushed it back to coincide with the release of Quantum of Solace.
|
Damn I guess I will buy this even though I have the original already... The problem is that I always want to have the "best" version of the DVDs I bought
|
Will they ever confirm this release???
I posted this on another thread and got shut down......no websites have the dvd yet except amazon. Amazon has been known to be wrong on their details.... i know this has been reported to be out in June but no cover art, etc
