Re: Casablanca: Ultimate Collector's Edition December 2nd
$64.99?! Hopefully there's an option for just the discs at a reasonable price. I don't need the box of junk.
If not I'll be keeping my HD DVD.

It'll be a little over $40 at Amazon, and I'll be on it. This is one UCE I'm in for.

Great news! New documentary and collectibles doesn´t sound bad at all. I guess I have to start selling these HD DVDs before it´s too late..

Re: Casablanca: Ultimate Collector's Edition December 2nd
I'll stick to my HD DVD, thanks. The Jack Warner documentary is not sufficient inducement for me to "upgrade" and, frankly, I'm not into the "props" and so on. For those who are into that, however, this seems like a great set. If I didn't have the HD DVD, though, and wanted just the discs in BD, I'd be disappointed (if the info is accurate--no word on just a disc release rather than the "fully loaded" model).

IIRC the other UCE ("Christmas Story") also included a 1-disc version without the geegaws, so there's at least a chance they will do the same here.

You read and then 'spoke' my mind. 
I'd 'upgrade' to BD if either a standalone keepcase or digibook format version is announced for sure. |

I'd be very surprised if Warner didn't also release this in a non UCE version via their "book" format (ala "Bonny & Clyde").
If not... then if I can find it for around $40 (which should be doable given that time of the year) I'll be upgrading. Although I have to say this recent trend of including "props" and "collectibles" just isn't something that really interest me a great deal.

Re: Casablanca: Ultimate Collector's Edition December 2nd
That is funny. There is a 2005 documentary about Lew Wasserman called The Last Mogul which is actually a bit more accurate.

Re: Casablanca: Ultimate Collector's Edition December 2nd
Hmmm. I've been awaiting this announcement, but for that price tag, I think I'll just wait either for it to come down or a blu-ray only release.
Also, is that Jack Warner documentary all that relevant here? From some of the behind the scenes accounts, I've gathered that the movie was more Hall Wallis' show and Warner wasn't very active in the production of the movie.
