Now we just have to hope that the original cut wasn't given the Friedkincolor™ treatment.

If this does include the original theatrical cut, my head will spiin. If not, my head will still spin, but it won't be a happy spin.

Nice. In for the Digibook. Hope that documentary from the first dvd release is included.

I don't think I've ever seen the TC, so this'll be good.

Nice! Sold.

Re: The Exorcist: TVYNS - 2010
 
I guess since we have all seen "The Version You've Never Seen" by now, that must be why it is now being called the "Extended Director's Cut" instead... :lol:

I'll have to wait until screen shots are posted to make a purchase decision....really hope the visuals haven't been ruined like "The French Connection" BD......

When The French Connection Blu-ray was released, Friedkin said that he would do the same thing to The Exorcist. However, in the meantime, he reportedly also supervised the To Live and Die in L.A. transfer, which has normal colors. So maybe he's come to his senses? I guess we'll find out soon enough.

All over this one. Glad to hear it's getting a DigiBook.

Re: The Exorcist: TVYNS - 2010
 
more details from blu-ray.com

Digibook, theatrical cut, good cover art, Fear of God doc, new extras...WB pretty much fulfilled my wishlist. Given all of that, I'm trusting that the transfer will be stellar as well.

E Unit 06-21-10 08:32 AM

Re: The Exorcist: TVYNS - 2010
 
So it looks like we get the original doc from the first DVD anniversary release. Guess it's time to finally unload both DVD's.

NoirFan 06-21-10 08:36 AM

Re: The Exorcist: TVYNS - 2010
 
Looks pretty stacked. Now all we can do is wait for the screencaps...

Wow, I'm super excited for this one! I like the cover too, hopefully it doesn't change!

Other than it having kind of a greenish or brownish tint sometimes, I don't think another image has ever been used for this movie.

Not normally a fan of digi-books at all, but that one looks really nice. Perhaps it's the black.

Re: The Exorcist: TVYNS - 2010
 
Wow, this is awesome. Everything I wanted and more. The digibook looks really nice as well.

Now I'm just hoping that it hasn't been Friedkin-ized like The French Connection. -pray-

Looks like a very nice release. One of my fav films of all time (the original, that is...sorry Lemmy :)) Regardless of price, this is a day 1 purchase.

Re: The Exorcist: TVYNS - 2010
 
That looks really nice. So far I only have one Blu-ray in the "book-style packaging" (North By Northwest), but it looks like I'll be adding another to the collection!

Seriously WB...*sigh* Just put both cuts on there. Who the fuck runs the dept. that lets shit like this happen? I've never even seen the theatrical. All i've seen is TVYNS...and..with those inserted elements...I didn't like them. Just if they took them out..I'm sure it'd be a better film. I liked what I saw but...those scenes have to be cut.

I'm not normally a fan of Digipacks but I will admit this one, Poltergeist and Willy Wonka all look pretty cool.

I just watched The French Connection and I can live with the color. It's all that grain and a few soft spots that I hate. What was it Friedkin said, he liked the grain. And then after Fox had started distributing the BDs, he changed his mind and hated the grain. We should call Fox and ask about when a replacement plan will take effect? Point out what Paramount is doing for Gladiator. Hope he doesn't mess Exorcist up.

BD includes both versions in a digi-book.

No one should ever complain to Fox again about grain or out comes le wax.

Per the comments from the site, those screen shots are lifted from the trailer for the Blu Ray vs an actual copy of the Exorist on blu ray.
