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

Bob_Bobbson

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.

TomOpus

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.

Mike86

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!

Solid Snake

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.

riotinmyskull

both cuts are on there.

NoirFan

Both cuts are included. Look 5 posts up from yours.

Solid Snake

damn..wtf is up w/ my window? I only got the 1st page of this thread..hrm...

NoirFan

Well, it was mentioned there too.

Solid Snake

lol....yeah but it wasn't confirmed at that point...I think...

DVD Polizei

And here I thought WTF stood for the director's name.

The Monkees

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

Matthew Ackerly

Can't wait to watch this in high-def

Giles

now if he screws up the colors he totally is a 'fuck'

darkhawk

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.

RonBoster

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.

This is the first BD review I have found so far:

FWIW....when I was in Walmart tonight, they already had the shelf price tags up for the new releases tomorrow, and they will have The Exorcist for only $19.99.....

Obviously, as Walmart goes, YMMV....but still, that beats Amazon's current price by $4 and BB's advertised price by $5....

Mr. Cinema

I wonder if that Walmart price is for another exclusive non-digibook version al la Se7en.

TomOpus

The WM website shows the digibook...but who knows until you actually see it. Might be worth checking out.
