Almost Famous extended edition Blu-ray
Almost Famous: Extended Edition (UK - BD) in News > Releases at DVDActive
This one is region ABC and is around 28.00 from Amazon U.K. or sendit.com has it for around 26.50 shipped to the U.S.
It's a must have catalog title for myself so I thought others may like to know about it.

Re: Almost Famous extended edition Blu-ray
Thanks for the heads up. Do you know if it's the Bootleg Cut version or some other extended version? Does it still also include the original theatrical cut?
I already paid a pretty penny 2x for the Bootleg Cut DVD -- my first one had the director's cut disc eaten by a player (and then the rest of it was lent out and never returned).  Will probably wait for reviews before taking the plunge on this one...

Re: Almost Famous extended edition Blu-ray
It's the bootleg cut with DD-THD audio.
There is also a Japanese Blu-ray release with an all red background of the same cover from the U.K. release.
I like the Japanese cover much better but don't want to pay the much higher cost to get it.
If I remember right, this was a Dreamworks dvd release in the U.S., and there is no telling when they may get around to releasing this on either format so I ordered my copy from Amazon U.K. around a month ago.

Re: Almost Famous extended edition Blu-ray
Thanks. But does it also include the original theatrical cut then (perhaps via seamless branching)? Hope it does since I usually prefer that version for pacing.

Re: Almost Famous extended edition Blu-ray
Despite Kate Hudson in panties, someone should really post that cover in the Awful DVD covers thread.

At least it is the original poster art. There were two one-sheets used. This is the poster used internationally. In the U.S., they used the one that appeared on the original Dreamworks DVD.
This cover is the same cover that's been used for the DVD releases except for the U.S. My Korean Region 3 DVD has this cover.

Re: Almost Famous extended edition Blu-ray
I didn't know that was the international poster, I guess it makes sense then. Shame the international poster looks like a cheaply photoshopped DVD cover though.  |

Re: Almost Famous extended edition Blu-ray
I'd heard about this release but everything I read previously indicated it was the theatrical cut. Now that it's confirmed to be the Bootleg/extended cut I think I'll be getting it.
I'd normally wait on a US release but since Dreamworks seems to have no intention of releasing any of their A list catalog titles this seems like a no-brainer.

Re: Almost Famous extended edition Blu-ray
I pre-ordered this through amazon.co.uk. The extended cut is probably my favorite movie of all time. Can't wait to see it in HD.

Re: Almost Famous extended edition Blu-ray
This is probably a stupid question, but is region coding an issue with blu-ray movies - will it play in my sony bdp-s1? Also is there any playback issues because of pal/ntsc, or is that a non-factor with high definition?
