And of course the mandatory Free Movie Cash for Angels & Demons! What a predictable release.

So? It's not out yet on BD. I'll get it. And use the Movie Cash to see "Angels and Demons".

These types of releases to coincide with a sequel or the like will most likely never change. But, again, as long as this has not yet been released yet on BD (and it hasn't), I don't see the big deal.

I sure hope they release it on sd dvd too. I passed on the first release because I knew an extended cut was going to come and they'd better not make it blu ray only. I'm very happy for everybody that's gone blu but there's no reason not to release it in both formats.

Another release I may pick up. Hopefully the movie cash is for $10.50, and has a decent expiration window.

Movies I want/need have been coming regularly lately. Now I need a big sale.

I seriously need to rent this. I was never interested in the book (even less when the ending was spoiled to me when I asked someone "was it a good book?") but the bits I've seen of the movie on TV have kept me entertained.

Odd that the cover art does not mention the extended cut. Is that the official art.

I've had the Korean DVD with the extended cut for at least a year and haven't watched it yet, so I'll be giving this a miss. Looking forward to Angels and Demons though.

Is this going to have the original cut as well?

Art is different on the Angels & Demons site, and it mentions the extended cut...

here's this conversation ( ) the artwork for the bluray in post #13 is different and states 'extended cut' on the cover

If it only contains the extended cut, I'll probably keep the original DVD when I buy the Blu-ray, instead of replacing it.

nice

I finally rented this and really enjoyed it. The whole Pagan sex ritual flashback was a WTF moment but I really got into the film as a whole. Definitely look forward to purchasing the BD.

Hmm. I prefer the top cover. The second is potientially a spoiler.

I don't think it's a spoiler. Everyone knows the Mona Lisa is an important part of the movie and it's in the Louvre and the pyramid is the most iconic physical aspect of the museum. Besides the movie is three years old at this point. Pretty much everyone who wants to have seen it has seen it by now.

I just saw it recently, Defiant1. The way the whole film is structured, they give you the answer right off the bat but you don't really notice 'til closer to the end. That's why I consider the new cover a spoiler. No need to ruin it for those who still haven't seen it.

Well, yeah, but it's still a museum.

I just saw that DVDactive posted this for another region: http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releas...d-edition.html. I don't think anyone will be shocked if these features migrate to the US.

Are we going to get a standard DVD release of this?!

Edited first post

I thought the first film was mediocre and not really something I could see myself re-watching often, so we'll just see the 2nd film in the theaters and if it's a much better experience (much better film), then I'd grab this on sale because I'd know that I'd be purchasing the sequal ob BD eventually.

Thanks for the update Tyler. Looks like they ported over all of the extras from the Region 3 Korean set. I never got the Region 1 special edition, so I don't know if it contains the same extras.
