Original "The Day The Earth Stood Still" coming December 2? (1 Viewer)

[Jesse Blacklow]

Amazon has a listing up for what looks to be like the original 1951 version of "The Day The Earth Stood Still" from Fox:

Amazon.com: The Day the Earth Stood Still (Special Edition) [Blu-ray]: Movies & TV

It makes sense to tie it in with the December 12 release of the remake (which looks awful, IMO). If this is true, I'm all over it!



EDIT: It's up at DVD Empire, too!

I was hoping that Fox would do this when they announced the SD DVD SE. It looks like the MSRP is $5 lower than their usual $39.99

Another definite purchase!

 

[TravisR]

Cool!

And now no one can say the remake didn't do something for the world.

 

[RickER]

$25 bucks for a FOX title, not bad. Order placed, thanks guys.

 

[Chris S]

Thanks! Just canceled my order for the new 2-disc SD version.

 

[Craig Beam]

Oh, I'm all over this. Thank you Fox!!!

 

[Ed St. Clair]

Yeah, not a BIG fan of Hollywood remakes.
However, if its going to get us the original released on HD... ;-)

 

[Jim_K]

Great news if this holds up.

 

[Jesse Blacklow]

From retailer listings: No specs yet, but Fox has yet to use anything but lossless DTS-HD:MA on a title.

Looking forward to my first B&W Blu-Ray.

If the new version is only half as good as this one, it'll be OK.

 

[Craig Beam]

Bill, I'm shocked and appalled. You don't have ANY B&W Blu-rays????? No 20 Million Miles to Earth? No Good Night and Good Luck? I have both, and they look stunning. A well-handled B&W film in HD is truly something beautiful to behold. Oh, and I also have The Seventh Seal (import).

Wait, are they any others even available...?
