Yup. I'm at the distributor's (VPD Inc.'s) website, ordering stuff as far ahead as mid-March, although not everything has been announced for pre-order, yet. I just get really excited doing the ordering and get way, waaay ahead of myself.
Don't see a date for that one, yet, Chad, but it should be announced soon. However, it looks like March-April would be a fair guess.
As for a recut... I'm sure we'll have one come Christmas 2006 . I remember hearing that Tony Scott screened the film in nearly half a dozen different forms, each quite different, and he finally settled on the version that scored the best with test audiences. He really is Ridley Scott's brother in that respect and it's a shame.
ONly thing is with Tony's style of filming and editing. It has toe be tight edit for that type of fast paced cutting to work or else it just looks like something mashed together, which was the feelnig I got from Domino.
Yeah, but also 'just' in friggin' time for me to be concerned about whether this will be one of Di$ney's first Blu-rays released, say, six months after this standard def SE's possible release circa March.
Or maybe Di$ney now will delay a Crimson BD so as to give the standard def version some shelf time.
Charlie de Lauzirika: Are you working on this title?
Elijah: Does anything in that dealer "pre-order" material you're looking at mention an Enemy Of the State SE?
I don't see anything about Enemy at this time, and the current release has not yet been placed on tell-tale moratorium yet. Usually the previous release goes out of print right before the announcement is made. For instance, the previous Lumet discs just went OOP. (Then again, so has Blade Runner...)
Hmmmmm. I think Universal has a stronger track record than Di$ney for putting (live action) titles on moratorium before a re-release. Does Di$ney typically do that . . .?
Patrick has the announcement and large front cover up on his site and it looks like a Denzel Washington tie-in since it's being rereleased with a Remember the Titans Special Edition.
Too bad there isn't a Gene Hackman tie-in so we could also get Enemy of the State. What's Will Smith doing? Tony Scott isn't necessarily a household name for any tie in. ("From the Director of Domino"!)
