Magic! Special Edition DVD Coming Late Jan 06!
I spoke with MPI Video today. A special DVD Edition of Anthony Hopkins "Magic" is scheduled to be release in late January 2006! No further details as of yet. I've been waiting for this for years! Great news.

(waking from snooze)
What? Really?
It's been a long road towards the
DVD release of Magic. Many of
us have been hearing news for years and
have been let down.
Hopefully this is finally the real deal
Shnookums!

Any movement from MPI on the longer-delayed BECKET?

I think John Hudson reported this back in June, and news on the DVD was posted on Dark Sky Films' website (subsidiary of MPI), but reminders are always welcome!
For historical reference here are the pre-existing Magic threads: |

Almost right  And seeing what Dark Sky have done with the noir Without Warning!, I'm quite optimistic Magic will be, er, magical...

Yuh know, I don't think I have a single
MPI title in my 2,000 DVD collection.
How is this company? Based on past history,
can we expect them to do a decent job on
this release?

Ron; MPI were responsible for the excellent Rathbone/Bruce Sherlock Holmes releases of last year (or was it 2003?) and if you click on the Without Warning! review you see the this comment about the video:
For a film that, until now, has been very hard to track down, Dark Sky Films’ release of Without Warning! looks fantastic. There’s a little bit of mild print damage here and there in the form of the odd speck or two, as well as a few scenes that exhibit a little bit of grain but for the most part we have a very nice, and very clean looking fullframe black and white image. There’s plenty of detail in the picture, the contrast levels look dead on, and the blacks are nice and deep with lots of shadow detail present throughout the duration of the film.
Owning their Holmes DVDs - which I'm delighted with - and reading that review, I'm confident MPI will do a good job.
So many films, so little time...
