I don't see any specs for it, yet.

I've bought this movie four times. Unless the color timing is fixed on it and the sequel, even my OCD is holding off on this one.

No.I bought the last bluray version and i'm happy with it. No need for this. If I didn't have this movie I probably would buy this, but that isn't the case.

Not sure if that cover art is cool or a busy, cluttered mess.

Fuck. I'll probably buy this.

Cool artwork. Glad I'm not OCD. I'm good with what I have.

Terrible cover.

I'm surprised this got a re-release but not Stargate (1994).

I'm going to go with cluttered mess for the cover. I'm fine with the box set.

It's a cluttered mess and it looks awesome.

Still not re-buying it, though.

why is the Alien holding a cell phone in its hand?

Or is that after shave cologne?

That collage just looks weird to me.

I'll buy this when I finish the extras on the Anthology boxset.

I'm thinking 2034 or so.

Seem pointless when the feature packed Anthology set goes on sale quite often.

Unless the point is to sell even more copies of the same movie. I still have the original DVD with the mail-in bonus disc. I don't think there are any supplements left about this movie that I need.
Wouldn't be surprised to see a newly filmed cast retrospective, since the guys got together for the new Alien Isolation video game.

Shit, I'm still working through the DVD Quadrilogy box set!:lol:

I'll have to buy it if there is anything new on it; but hopefully I'll be patient for a great sale.

Yeah, Fox re-releasing a Fox movie instead of a movie controlled by Lionsgate is a real head-scratcher. Who are the ad wizards who came up with that one?

A group video commentary with the whole cast would be awesome.

The only reason I'll buy this is if the color timing is changed to the proper, original theatrical one. But I'm laying 1 on 100 odds that this will ever happen. We'll probably just get a repackaging of the existing encode with a couple of bones (= superfluous extras) thrown in to get us salivating on the 40th anniv release. Rinse. Repeat. Walk to bank and cash in.

Couldn't they wait 5 years for the 40th anniversary?

That will be the next release, in 5 years. In 4k no doubt.

I said the same. I have more releases of these films than I'm ever going to need, unless they unfuck the color timing of this and the sequel, I'm set.

Well, Fox did release a corrected version for The French Connection. I'm still not holding out hope they'll do the same here.

Re: Alien: 35th Anniversary Edition -- 10/7/14
 
I'm surprised i have not seen one "if the color timing matches the 1979 prints i'll buy it!" comments given how several really hate the color timing on the main lu ray
