I'd like to see if HTF can go back to Warner & get an answer on this exchange:
quote: Q (Chad Ferguson): I was just wondering if there any chance of a release for Wyatt Earp? Perphaps the Directors cut? I would just like to say great job on your first release of DTS titles, keep them coming, and awesome, awesome job on the Oliver Stone set! It's great to know that you guys are willing to support such a great director! Thanks.
A (Warner): Appreciate the kind words.

I don't think they deliberately ducked the question - it just got lost in all the words following.
I was very pleased to see this:
quote: ...but believe us when we say that the DVD debut of Looney Tunes is an ongoing concern of WHV and indeed a passion among a few staffers. Be patient.[/quote]
To me, the most interesting statement of the whole chat was:
quote: Sadly, VHS is still considered a bellwether among Marketers. But things will change over time, he said wistfully.[/quote]
Reading between the lines, it sounds like the DVD folks are still a little hamstrung by "non-believers" in the WHV hierarchy.
The only title I would have liked to seen addressed that wasn't is Chariots Of Fire. I don't think this one has ever been released in its OAR.
