A BD/DVD Gift-set will include the original 1923 version. I'm thinking the combo pack means the original won't be in HD.

It will. Specs on the 1923 version, from Blu-ray.com --

Quote:

* 1923 feature in high definition
* Commentary by Katherine Orrison
* Hand-tinted footage of the Exodus and parting of the Red Sea sequence (from 1923 feature)
* Photo Gallery—1923
* The Ten Commandments: Making Miracles—75-minute documentary

I'm tempted to get this for nostaglia's sake but I never watched the SE DVD I got several years ago.

I never did either. I bought it and tucked it away on a shelf never to be seen again.

I have the 2-disc set from many years ago, and for some reason, Amazon is willing to buy it from me for $7.75 in store credit and pay for me to mail it to them. Easy upgrade!

This is the version I had:

Universal France did an interview and mentioned that Scarface, Jurassic Park Trilogy, more Hitchcock are on the way in 2011. Likely means the US will get these same titles.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV

I wonder if more Hitchcock just means the previously mentioned The Birds, or if we'll also see Rear Window and/or Vertigo this year.

The studio will also release some westerns on Blu-ray, including Winchester 73, Shenandoah and High Plains Drifter (apparently one of two movies starring Clint Eastwood that the studio plans to release this year).

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV

Per The Digital Bits:

"While we're talking Rumor Mill-worthy developments, our sources are also telling us that 20th Century Fox and MGM are preparing new Blu-ray versions of Platoon and Midnight Cowboy. Platoon is currently slated for release in the U.K. on 5/16, with Midnight Cowboy due on 5/2. Expect U.S. street dates to be announced soon for a similar release timeframe."

Awesome news!

Well... that certainly answered my question. That's obviously not Nicole Kidman. So, I guess she never was a child actor after all!

Did Firebase Gloria even come out on DVD?

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV

Just saw The Ten Commandments pics on highdefdigest..... what are the chances of getting a release with all the bonus feature of the gift set, without all the fluff (stone tablets, bloated 'gift' packaging)?

I want all the discs, but not all the bullshit.

01/30/11 - "Almost Famous: The Bootleg Cut" (Best Buy Exclusive)

http://i.imgur.com/koG6P.jpg

By the look of it, it only includes the one cut, which is unfortunate. No word on special features.

If I were you (or, if I could get in a time machine and advise my younger self), I'd not even bother with any of it. The movie, for me, was a monumental disappointment. Unless you're excited by the idea of an autobiographical narrative that rings so false you'd never guess the author/filmmaker actually lived it or the minor miracle that is a Kate Hudson role/performance that doesn't outright suck, there's nothing there for me to recommend with either cut.

I'm not interested in this title, but at least it's going to be sold by someone. I'd rather see Best Buy sell a title vs NO ONE selling it.

Didn't see this posted.... The Digital Bits is saying that BB will also get The Cove, Still Waiting... and Rules of Attraction as exclusives on 2/1.

I'd bite on Rules for $10.

They haven't been given universal street dates, but it's generally a couple months.

Pretty much a bare-bones affair though, identical to the DVD - vintage featurette and trailer, plus a new 32-page booklet.
