Anybody know what the packaging of the Yojimbo/Sanjuro set is going to look like? Individual release cases in a cardboard slipcover or something else?

If you order directly from Criterion how do they ship? UPS, FedEx or USPS.

Do they ship a little early to get pre-orders on release day or ship on release day or later?

They've always shipped UPS for me. Don't know about pre-orders, though.

Good enough! If Amazon does not drop their March pre-order prices soon, I may just order directly.

That will look beautiful in Blu! The movie, not the Thin Red Lion.

I wonder what the likelihood of the legendary deleted footage being included is. Either way, great news.

slop101 03-10-10 05:38 PM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
Beyond deleted footage, there's a near 4-hour director's cut that exists. If anyone can release that, it's Criterion.

I really hope so. I've always been very curious about it. This movie should look beautiful in High Definition.

I always liked how this movie came out the same year as Saving Private Ryan, while all my friends were raving about that movie, I was like you should see The Thin Red Lion it's way better, man. :)

Were there any comparisons on it. Was it a better but a non financially viable cut?

I'd love to have as much as possible on this film.

The only person to ever really mention it in interviews was one of the background actors, Danny Hoch:

But what happened with Thin Red Line was that Terrance Malick made a 5 1/2-hour film for Sony and Sony sold the film during its production to Fox and when Fox decided to distribute it they said 'Hey! We're not releasing a 5 1/2-hour film on Christmas Day. We're cutting three hours out of the film and we're gonna excavate all the scenes that do not have movie stars in them. We're gonna splice together all the scenes that do have movie stars.' Originally the A-list guys were cameos, like John Travolta, Woody Harrelson, Clooney, Cusack. They were kinda like cameos. Not only did they cut out my role, which, you know, whatever, I had like four good scenes and I certainly wasn't a lead by any means. But they cut out most of the leads, including THE lead [Adrien Brody] and they just extracted their entire scenes, storylines, and characters from the film, including the main character who doesn't appear in the final cut."

Criterion should work with Malick to create a new cut of the film. I hope that's what they will do.

I think it will be EXTREMELY disappointing if they do not work with him to create an ultimate director's cut of this film, no matter how long it ends up being. It absolutely needs to happen. That's really the only reason for Criterion to even bother releasing it, honestly: so they can do it the right way.

That's the way I see it too. I heavily doubt that CC would think fans would really want theatrical from them. Fans TRL would want the director's cut.

Yes, although it would be nice to get some extra features, if they don't release a director's cut, it will be a very disappointing missed opportunity.

I imagine that with their shorter release date windows these days (from date of a teaser/announcement), most of what they intend to do with Malick is already done. I, too, hope that we get a director's cut.

Mystery Train is my favorite Jarmusch, so I'm definitely in for that, though the extras look a bit thin. Still, I wasn't even expecting a HD release. Big thumbs-up on The Leopard and Red Desert. Hopefully The Red Shoes will be coming in July.

I don't know what Mystery Train is, but I just read the name "Joe Strummer" and I'm in.

Holy.

Criterion's been hitting 'em out of the park more often than not with their Blu-Ray announcements. Too bad they're almost $40 CAD each. Brutal pricing in Canada.

PopcornTreeCt 03-15-10 08:44 PM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
Very nice Criterion. 2010 is shaping up nicely.

Also, for those that don't read the DVD Talk forum anymore (like me), Kiarostami's Close Up was announced along with Everlasting Moments and Night Train to Munich.

ccfixx 03-16-10 06:35 PM

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 
Criterion just added "Close-Up" and "Everlasting Moments" to the blu-ray list now. That's FIVE blu-rays for June!
