Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
Amazon now has a listing for The Evil Dead with a August 31, 2010. No other info about it yet, hopefully they'll include a copy of the full frame release and not just the relatively new cropped widescreen release.

Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
I'll wait for some reviews and get this depending on the PQ.

Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
Anchor Bay....it'll be $10 in no time.
|
Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
Hopefully it's not a bare-bones release like some of their latest blu releases...

Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
Hopefully each retailer will have an exclusive so he can get more than one copy on Blu... ;)

Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
Hopefully, it'll include all the extras from the Ultimate Edition. I certainly want to grab this, so that I can complete the trilogy on Blu.
|
Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
No Within the Woods = no sale ;)
I'll probably bite at the right price, pending reviews. |

Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
As I have noted a few years ago, Ultimate was missing a recorded commentary from the Ladies of the Evil Dead (that was mentioned in one of the new featurettes). Hopefully the blu will include this one.
But I'll have to get it no matter what. I might not be Xage, but as a fan I owe it to myself to own a copy of each film in high definition. |

Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
What are the over/under odds that the release will have both the 1.33:1 and 1.78:1 versions on the disc? I know the 1.78:1 is (now) Raimi's preferred version, but most consider the 1.33:1 version as the OAR.
If Anchor Bay matches the UE and just puts it out on BD, I'll easily upgrade. |

Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
I'd bite @ $10 assuming it includes the full-frame version.
|
Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
A press sheet has been released
The only new thing it mentions is a commentary with Raimi, Campbell and Tapert. Doesn't mention the aspect ratio, just says "Brand-new hi-def transfer supervised and approved by Sam Raimi" which I fear means it will be the 1.85:1 version. |

Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
Yeah, I'm unfortunately going to have to bite. I just can't control myself with these movies!
|
Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
I have the Book of the Dead and the Elite version on DVD. I'm pretty sure that I'll get this (maybe not release day, but certainly once we get a price drop to $15 and under), I'd be a fool to think I wouldn't.

Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
Anchor Bay knows how to sucker us Evil Dead fanatics - they've got me sold on yet another version!
|
Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
in fact you could've just sold me the movie and the new commentary and I"d be there just cuz of that commentary.
|
Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
Honestly, they could fit both the 1.33:1 and 1.78:1 versions on the same disc.
170 minutes of 1080p material + uncompressed audio + audio commentaries = 40 GB 240 minutes of SD 480p material = 10 GB Bam. Boom. You're done. |

Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
Hopefully the One by One doc is a substantial one.
|
Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
One by One is the same 50-minute documentary from the first disc of the Ultimate Edition. From what it reads like, they're porting the entire UE over to Blu-ray.

Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
So in order to have the complete Evil Dead collection, you need the Book of the Dead edition (for Fanalysis), the Ultimate Edition (for original audio commentaries and the two Ladies of the Evil Dead featurettes) and this new Blu-ray for a new audio commentary and the film in HD.
|
Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
Yesterday I traded in my UE for Blu rays. This is the first time since probably 1996 that I have not owned any edition of The Evil Dead. At least until August.

And yet, I go along with it anyway. :doh: |
Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
It drives me crazy too. What's the motivation behind this practice? Are they hoping consumers will want to hold onto their used DVDs for the extras? They don't see any profit from resale, so what difference would that make?

Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
Well, I HAVE to keep my UE since it's signed by the "Ladies of The Evil Dead."

I'll buy this release, but it's going to take a lot more to prompt me to buy another version down the line. |

I've never seen The Evil Dead.
