the Game

Hi David, welcome to the new section of the site.

my question is simply on the movie
The Game.


you seemed to hint maybe about a year ago about something special
you were working on and some people were hoping it was a special edition of this movie.
So is there a special edition of this coming out?

I know it came out on hd dvd but was a bare release.

Thanks again for making your self available to talk about movies or whatever.

My pleasure, Tony. And thanks for your interest.

I think the project I was talking about was Benjamin Button. At any rate, it wasn't The Game, because Fincher and I have never had a serious discussion about it, and no one has approached us. I have told him a couple of times that there is a lot of interest in a special edition. I'm sure it will come around eventually, but nothing firm at the moment.

Ok that's what it was.
Thanks David.

FWIW, I wouldn't mind seeing at least an anamorphic DVD of this, if not a moderate SE.

I'd snap up an improved SE of this as well, if we're keeping tabs.

I love "The Game" and cherish my Criterion Laserdisc. I would happily purchase a BLu-ray edition, if the picture quality would be improved over the not very good HDDVD (according to most reviews).

Re: the Game

When was the last time Criterion licensed from Universal for a DVD? They've obviously done it several times in the past and I would think that they'd be happy to at least throw the laserdisc extras onto a DVD with an anamorphic transfer if Universal isn't interested in doing anything with the film itself.

Don't you ever, EVER compare me to "Family Guy," you hear me Kyle? Compare me to "Family Guy" again and so help me, I will kill you where you stand!

Do you have any idea what it's like? Everywhere I go: "Hey Cartman you must like 'Family Guy,' right?" "Hey, your sense of humor reminds me of 'Family Guy' Cartman!" I AM NOTHING LIKE FAMILY GUY! WHEN I MAKE JOKES THEY ARE INHERENT TO A STORY! DEEP SITUATIONAL AND EMOTIONAL JOKES BASED ON WHAT IS RELEVANT AND HAS A POINT, NOT JUST ONE RANDOM INTERCHANGEABLE JOKE AFTER ANOTHER!

David, there's already a Special Edition released in the UK.

Rewind @ www.dvdcompare.net - Game (The) (1997)

Any chance there being a 2-Disc set with even more extras? Now, alot of people on this site appears to not be multi-region capable excluding myself and import titles. Guess they're lazy.
Any plans for a more definite Region 1 release?
