Crimson Tide and Enemy of the State SEs due 5/4 (but POSTPONED) (1 Viewer)

[oscar_merkx]

I have only seen EOTS which I will most likely purchase.

I have always wondered if Scott saw The Conversation with Gene Hackman as well ?

Any comments ?

 

[Mikel_Cooperman]

Enemy of the State I dont care about but Crimson Tide I cant wait to see a S.E of.
Love the Hans Zimmer score too.

 

[Ron Reda]

A bit off topic, but I was just reading in the new issue of The Perfect Vision that HBOHD crops their films to 1.78:1 (even if their OAR is 2.35:1, etc.) so that there are no black bars when displayed on widescreen TVs.

Back to the topic at hand...

I was a sucker awhile back and bought the non-anamorphic version of EOTS because I really wanted to see it. Looks like I'll be double dipping to get the anamorphic upgrade. I'll go ahead and pick up CT as well as I've never seen it and have heard so many good things about it.

 

[Dave H]

I threw my current version of Crimson Tide on EBay...looking forward to the new one.

With my new HDTV the prospect of all the double dipping for anamorphic transfers coming my way horrifies me. It seems it may be worse than the VHS to DVD conversion.:frowning:

 

[Jeff Bamberger]

While I agree that it will be great to have a nice anamorphic transfer, does anyone else here think that those specs should be on any basic release these days?????

Seriously, after the wonderful LOTR EEs, those specs make me think "bare bones".

I guess we have just gotten spoiled with some stellar releases lately...........

JKS

 

[Qui-Gon John]

I'm so pissed. I read about this in the "Enemy of the State delayed" thread.

Frickin' Buena Vista. They've made us wait years for this and now they are pushing it back even further!

 

[Brent M]

I'm pissed off too! I really want both of these films with anamorphic transfers and DTS sound, but now they're both being pushed back indefinitely. Thanks a lot, Buena Vista.

 

[CraigL]

They weren't coming out with DTS here anyway. That was never a part of the plan.

 

[Tony Whalen]

*sigh*

Perhaps I will pick up the current release...

 

[Tim Glover]

I was realling looking forward to getting this....but I guess I'll have to wait. :frowning:

 

[Jeff Whitford]

I traded away my original copies of both in expectation of getting the new ones in may.

 

[Qui-Gon John]

Anyone have anymore news about these two titles?

 

[JoshB]

I hope BV doesn't pull a Ransom and decide to release these titles with supplements, only to forget that anamorphic widescreen is standard on most titles now!

 

[CraigL]

That's what happened in some other regions.

I've got a sealed extra copy of the DTS SE if anyone's interested. lol

 

[Qui-Gon John]

Six more weeks have passed. Anyone have any new info on this?

 

[Sebastien S]

I just saw "Crimson Tide" up for pre-order on www.dvdsoon.com with a release date of September 7th 2004.

However, it doesn't look like the SE?

 

[Paul.S]

Bump.

Of course, some herein know that there's another thread on this topic, but not yet mentioned herein is the suspicion that Tide and EOtS SEs will street sometime this fall circa the release of Tony Scott's Man On Fire on Sep. 14 and (finally!) the Top Gun SE on Nov. 16.

Random bits:

Nelson re your your post #10 about the DTS Tide LD: is there a production documentary on that disc?

John re your post #17:
Of course--he's quite the cinephile as evinced by every commentary I've heard him (and his brother for that matter) do. On the current EOtS disc, Jerry Bruckheimer describes the pic as 'The Fugitive meets The Conversation meets Three Days Of the Condor.' I'm sure Jerry and Tony (and Gene) discussed the pic in general and Gene's homage to his own Popeye Doyle in particular.

Finally, Sebastien, I don't know what that Sept. 7 release is at DVDSoon.com but it is not a new SE. The catalog number listed at that site for the Sept. 7 release they show is the same as the catalong number of the disc already on shelves.
