I found the following infomation about Escape From New York SE at Davisdvd.com

Director John Carpenter's 1980 classic Escape From New York will return in a new special edition DVD package in 2003. Among the disc's many extras (including a commentary track, new interviews and more), this new release will finally present the alternate bank robbery opening in its entirety. "We recently found 10 minutes of the film’s intro that we had shot in Atlanta, which we cut from the film and then lost," said Carpenter. "After we found the three-quarter-inch videocassette and Debra Hill found the sound stems in my storage, we cleaned up the picture and then Kurt Russell and I went in and provided commentary for the scene, which will be on the new DVD as a standalone deleted scene." Escape From New York: Special Edition will be released day-and-date with Hurricane Entertainment’s new "John Carpenter's Snake Plissken" comic book series, currently due in early 2003.

Is there any one website that has a nice list of all these movies to be rereleased or has anyone made a new list since mikko made one back in march?

The Digital Bits posted the following:

In other news today, we've got word from Babylon 5 creator/executive producer J. Michael Straczynski that Warner will be following the release of Season One (set for 11/5) with Seasons Two and Three next year (reportedly in April and November of 2003, respectively). And Warner's launched an official website for the series on DVD as well.

I see Event Horizon is in bold now. It is confirmed then? I hope so! :)

Still holding out for a new Conan The Barbarian. If the R2 has 5.1 but R1 doesn't, well it seems that another release isn't too far fetched. Anyone heard anything?

Also, I thought I read something about Star Gate getting a Superbit release. Perhaps I was drunk?

Many thanks to everyone involved in this thread. It's a great resource. Cheers! :beer:

Stargate is going to be an Ultimate Edition not a Superbit. Stargate UE will be released on 10/22/02. BTW, do you have the Director's Edition of Frank Herbert's Dune if you do on the back of it is the Stargate UE cover.

Director's Edition of Frank Herbert's Dune if you do on the back of the insert is the Stargate UE cover. Sorry about the mixup on the previous post.

Mikko updated it 07-24-02

EH isn’t in bold so it’s not yet confirmed. Lay off the http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/images/smilies/beer.gif :D

Nothing new from the Crowe camp on Singles: SE?

Any word on whether Blade will be redone now that Blade 2 is out? If not, it might be worth picking up Blade 2 for $14.99 and Blade for $9.99 at BestBuy on 9/3.

New Line has expressed NO plans for a BLADE re-issue to coincide with the premiere of BLADE 2 on DVD.

Any word on a better version of Monsters Inc. than the 2-disc version?

Shouldn't the Criterion re-releases of 400 Blows and Beauty and the Beast be listed? Especially since there is now talk that the spine numbers will be the same. Publishing such re-release information may thwart people from paying inflated prices on eBay for these titles.

The current Buena Vista release is uncut and undubbed. They used Criterion's LD transfer for the DVD. The VHS release was cut and dubbed though. The R-rating on the case of the DVD is a misprint.

It sounds like a pretty spectacular release... of the same caliber as A Bug's Life: CE. I wouldn't think there will be anything better...

re: trainspotting
 

The dubbed version of trainspotting, what language was it dubbed into? Given that it was in english to begin with...

"The dubbed version of trainspotting, what language was it dubbed into? Given that it was in english to begin with..."

Filmed in English, dubbed into American. We in the States are a little too slow to pick up the Scottish accents.

Also, does anyone know if Animal House is getting a re-issue, or why it went out of print? (I know the CE is still available at Columbia House)

Here are the specs on the original and CE of Animal House:

Original Release (02/24/98)

I don't know anything about ANOTHER version coming out..

With Philadelphia being price dropped this week to under $10 at most b&m stores, does that mean the SE is soon on it's way. This is a great price for this movie and will get it if the SE is not in the near future.

Fair enough, neither do I. However, for a high profile movie that featured a lot of music - a mono track doesn't cut it. I've waited this long for the real deal - I can wait longer.

Meanwhile, as someone mentioned, the current DVDs are just working through their inventory - no new shipments. Let's see, box office smash, old DVD not available ... things that make you say ..... hmmmmm. ;)

Re: Re: Bold error and update.
 

Yes, DVDFile.

Anything on The Hills Have Eyes or Terror Train?

How about a Martin Scorsece Box set?

HairSpray??
 

Hey Everyone,

Does anyone know when HairSpray is going to be release by itself without Pecker? My wife loves that movie.

Thanks..

Cry-Baby? Arizona Dream?

I think you know where I'm going with this.

Ed Wood was almost in my hands last month, then...

Any word on the releases of Midnight In the Garden of Good and Evil, Convoy or Too Live and Die in LA???

www.DavisDVD.com reports...

"Warner Home Video, in association with French production group MK2, will be
unleashing what it promises to be definitive editions of Charlie Chaplin's
"Little Tramp" films next year. The Charlie Chaplin Collection is set to
include 18 silent and sound classics, all currently undergoing extensive
digital restoration. Each title will be released as a 2-disc set that will
include exclusive commentaries, documentaries, outtakes, alternate footage,
still galleries, and other materials.

A notorious craftsman, Chaplin re-edited certain titles years after their
original release (most famously, 1942's The Gold Rush which trimmed scenes &
subtitles and added a new score). Purists can rest easy, Warner & MK2 will
include both versions whenever applicable. The first three films in the
collection, The Great Dictator, City Lights and The Circus, will be released
worldwide in June 2003 (The Great Dictator is due in France this November).

Each title will be released in two styles - a double-disc digipak (SRP
$26.99) and a box set including a film frame and an extensive booklet (SRP
$34.99)."


Lawrence of Arabia is a tentative Superbit title. It would most likely be a movie-only 2-discer. A new DTS track has been made for the recent 40th anniversery re-release in 70mm, so it would be a good tie in. AND FIX THE COLOR TIMING!
