"Flags of Our Fathers" & "Letters From..." think we'll get a 2fer complete package?
I can't remember when 2 movies that were filmed together came out within weeks of each other. Has there been such releases?
Most say this is one complete movie. Do you think we'll get some LE perhaps of both movies together in one super-duper set? and if so, will that come out right away or will it have the eventual double dip syndrome?

i think you will get two seperate two disc (or possibly three disc) sets. Its a warner title, and a clint eastwood movie. I think they will follow the route they have with Million Dollar Baby and Mystic River with 2 disc, plus a deluxe edition that has the soundtrack.

Maybe Best Buy will do an exclusive case, like they did for Kill Bill.

So, since DreamWorks/Paramount have domestic rights on Flags and Warner on Iwo Jima, I guess that would mean chances of a two-movie box set is unlikely?

Cameron, is there any confirmation on the video distribution deal? Because if it is true, then I'm a happy dude. The country I'm living in is such a bootleg haven that Warner is the only company that gives a damn about releasing their titles decently.

Flags of our Fathers - Due 2/6/07
Flags is coming from Paramount, which wraps up the home video question I had.

Actually, they're both very good.

I just watched Flags of Our Fathers last night, and was extremely impressed considering how audiences/critics responded. I would definitely pick it up if it wasn't barebones, but I can wait until the Flags/Letters double-disc package is released sometime in the future (as we all know it will be). Clint Eastwood is quickly moving up my list of best directors.
