Domius et Deus

I have not found an answer to a question I have. Please point me in the right direction. My question is how, can I know when production of any given DVD title is stopped. For example "Fight Club" has disappeared. When was that information first available?

Do you mean that you want a list of OOP (out of print) DVDs? If so, check in the Frequent Topics thread, also stickied to the top of the forum. I posted a link to the topic in there.

Domius et Deus

I suppose what I am asking is for a way to know in advance, that a given DVD will complete its production run and disapear off store shelves. An advance OOP list?

Mikko,
Matrix 2 disc SE is coming out this april!!
Also, I hear a 9 disc set of the Aliens movies is coming out....will they be sold separately as well?

Anybody know if the Xena and Hercules season box sets will become available off their main website? Waiting 6-8 weeks for delivery is a bit much.

Not that I'm aware of. Generally, retailers get a notice from the distributors that they will no longer be able to order a title that is going OOP as of a certain date. Those notices eventually filter their way to DVDTalk and other sites. Basically, just keep up with this forum. Just today, Criterion changed the status of How to Get Ahead in Advertising to OOP on their website and it was shortly posted here.

From Anchor Bay's Web Site:

MANHUNTER: DIRECTOR'S CUT - Summer 2003

We didn't expect to see this either, but here it is. A newly re-mastered version of Michael Mann's original cut of the thriller MANHUNTER. Michael Mann has personally overseen and approved a definitive version of his director's cut and has contributed a brand-new audio commentary for this release. Other features TBD. Closed Captioned For The Hearing Impaired.

Sounds interesting considering that Michael Mann has said he does not like special editions (which is why none of his movies on DVD have any special features). I'm wondering if this will be the same "director's cut" that was in the 2-disc limited edition set (with poor picture quality) or whether it will be something new.

Does somebody knows when Lion King (Disney) will be out on DVD?

wdodd

Lion King (Platinum Edition) is due out Oct 7, as best I know. That's for the US, not sure about Europe or releases in other regions.

Jarin

Thanks for your info. Most probably it will be released in Europe too, as it is not a new movie.

Imhotep

Any word on when the A Bridge Too Far going to get a Special Edition Treatment. The current ediition has a pretty bad video transfer with only DD 2.0 sound. This film is in need of a desparately needed clean-up.

Any news on DEMON KNIGHT getting re-released?

Amazon has Mulholland Drive listed as Pre-Order for release on April 1, 2003. I'm not sure if it's a price drop or what. Anyone have more info? I did a search here and found nothing.

Criterion to Release Wrong Men & Notorious Women: Five Hitchcock Thrillers 1935-1946
I read this at sriterion...

Criterion is currently preparing Wrong Men & Notorious Women: Five Hitchcock Thrillers 1935-1946, a single-package gift set containing The 39 Steps, The Lady Vanishes, Rebecca, Spellbound, and Notorious, to be sold together at a reduced price. The individual releases of these five titles will continue to be available separately, featuring the same transfers and extras as the discs in the gift pack. Look for Wrong Men & Notorious Women: Five Hitchcock Thrillers 1935-1946 in May.

I couldn't find it listed anywhere...

By special edition, do you mean all the goodies of the previous release (commentary, etc)? Or just the cut & no more!

theneobez

When is Scarface being re-released? I haven't heard a thing and I thought I was getting a bargain when I found it used at my local Wherehouse for $40.
