Also, if they ported it to DVD...it would finally drive down the insane secondary market LD prices, so I could pick one up

 

[Colin Jacobson]

Insane? What're they getting for the LD these days? I still have one in the closet somewhere - cost me something like $15 in a blowout sale in 1999...

 

[Matt Stone]

I'll take it off your hands

I haven't seen any up on eBay in the last couple of months, but they've been going for over 100 since I've been trying to snag one (2 years or so).

 

[Thomas H G]

Last I heard, Fincher was set to direct M:I-3.
Is he still doing that?

I too would like to see The Game get the royal treatment!

 

[CraigL]

I picked up "the game" criterion at cocoanuts in NYC (i believe) when they were having their sales. I tihnk I got it for $10-20. Now I'm working on making my own SE of the movie with all the supplements.

The man is a genius.

 

[Ray H]

Nope. Not sure what happened, but he was probably too busy or something so he's being replaced by Joe Carnahan.

 

[Adam_ME]

I paid around 46 bucks for a sealed copy of The Game Criterion LD on eBay about 4 years ago. A lot of jack compared to your typical DVD, but still far below the $99 list price the LD had back in the day.

The supplements are fine, BTW. Even the teaser and trailer got commentaries. How many special editions can make that claim?

 

[Jo Wijnsma]

Hello David, you are definitly right here. I guess that most fans would love to see more material for this movie. I have one question regarding Fincher. As you probably know there is a 'Directers Series', in the first volume featured directors like Jonze, Cunningham and Gondry. Do you know if there are plans to make a dvd that features David Fincher?

About the future projects of Fincher, the last news I heard is that he is in talks to direct Benjamin Button for Paramount. Both Gary Ross and Spike Jonze had been attached to direct this movie.

May I add my voice to the chorus of thanks to David Prior? This is a heck of a set. Here's my review at DVD Talk:

[Dave H]

Jason, nice review. While the extras look great on the SE, I am most concerned with video quality and will just hold on to my Superbit.

 

[David_Blackwell]

I just received my review copy today. I will have my review up next week. However, I did look at the test disc of the third disc last week.

Be Seeing You,
David Blackwell

 

[David_Blackwell]

I do wonder about what clearance costs that prevented the Nicole Kidman as Meg footage from being used (other than a few second in the SHOOTING PANIC ROOM featurette on disc two). It would have been neat to have a multi-angle featurette where you comapre the Kidman footage to the Jodi Foster footage. I finally finished watching the SE yesterday (except for listening to more of the commentary tracks).

Be Seeing You,
David Blackwell

 

[Robert Ringwald]

Adam, the only time I've seen that before was on the DVD for THERE'S NOTHING OUT THERE. They had commentary over the trailer, which I thought was just amazingly cool.

 

[Matt Pelham]

Don't forget Re-animator (as an easter egg) and Fear and Loathing Criterion.

 

[dannyB]

What kind of packaging is this DVD? Anyone have a pic, not just of the cover, but of the insides? I'm wondering how they handled a 3-discer...

 

[David_Blackwell]

Here is review:

It is the first version of the review because there will be some minor tweaking to the review tonight or tomorrow.

Be Seeing you,

[Tom Tsai]

The cardboard part is just a normal foldout (3 folds). However, all the discs are placed in the centre section. The three discs are individually held in plastic trays. However, these plastic trays are stacked on top of each other and can be "flipped through" like a book.

 

[dannyB]

Tom - thanks for the description. Doesn't sound like anything I've seen before in a DVD release.

I'm always worried about buying digipak/cardboard slipcases from an online retailer, versus in a B&M store where I can inspect and get a "perfect" package.

 

[Tim Ke]

The plastic trays were used for the region 4 Alien Quadrilogy set... kinda good, until the first 8 discs got separated from the last one! I had to add more sticky tape to hold it together.

 

[Ricard Casselha]

From IMDBs quote-page of DVD Discoveries:



Well, David, I really think that this Special Edition will certainly do the trick. All the best.
