Re: An American Werewolf in London to hit Blu-Ray!!
Glad to hear Landis decided to clean this up. I got some inside word from the producers on the disc that Landis was so set on doing almost nothing to the print that it looked like shit. Still might, for that matter. I'm just glad that Paul's doc is included.

Oh well, it sounds like Landis caved on this one, and the results were pleasing, and even if he was refusing to give them an overhaul for HD, it's better than ruining the movies ala William Friedkin. |

Wonder if they will be doing a fresh encode on it? Also, Van Helsing the same day.

It'd be nice if it came with a Wolf Man ticket.

what? oh I hope the hobo deleted death scene is in the 'Making of' or an easter egg.
Was that scene ever inserted into the film shown initially on HBO or an early video release?? I could've sworn I remember seeing a longer version of the hobo death scene, but I very well could just be misremembering it. |
Re: An American Werewolf in London to hit Blu-Ray!!
the scene was definately in an early preview screening according to Fangoria magazine - because the audience was so freaked out by the scene, [think the floating 'head' scene in JAWS] - according to Landis, it stopped the movie completely.

Apparently Landis does describe the scene in greater detail, so we'll get more of an idea what had happened. |
Re: An American Werewolf in London to hit Blu-Ray!!
Speaking of deleted scenes -- I always had a hunch that there was a deleted scene of the couple's death outside the apartment complex. I wrote a letter to Landis many moons ago (pun intended ;)) inquiring about this and I believe he replied that the scene was cut (will have to dig up the note as I have not read it in years).
I can't say I am holding out hope for additional 'lost' footage to appear on this disc. I read that they scoured the Universal archives for all potential footage and included it with the last disc. |
Re: An American Werewolf in London to hit Blu-Ray!!
^ oh man - talk of more deleted scenes? I wish these were available to see.
Fans of this movie and Edgar Wright should check out this interview...shows he's a big fan of AWiL http://edgarwrighthere.com/2009/07/m...olf-in-london/ |

Seriously, those caps from DVD Beaver look awesome! I'm even more excited for this now.
Also, for those of you in LA next week, on Sept. 14th, the New Bev is hosting a double-feature of AWIL with Beware the Moon. Paul Davis will be there to introduce it. Should be awesome. |
Re: An American Werewolf in London to hit Blu-Ray!!
I never noticed the movie posters in the Tube til seeing the Beaver screen cap

Re: An American Werewolf in London to hit Blu-Ray!!
Why can't anyone show some side by side comparisons with the HDDVD?
I'm not triple dipping if it looks the same, I'll keep my $5 HDDVD. |
