Thanks for spotting that release date. This is THE ONE I've been waiting for!

This is the news I've been waiting for since the launch of DVD 10 years ago. I hope this means that the other Bronston epics won't be far behind.

FANTASTIC NEWS!!!! HD perhaps?

Fantastic news indeed.

It's incredible what kind of movies Heston was making during the 1950s and 1960s.

Titles like this are what high def was created for. I hope it does come out on one of the formats(preferably both).

If the release is from Weinstein, you can forget about a HD release.

Even if it's not Hi-Def (too bad!), I will order the 2-disc set ($27.96 at DVD Planet; anyone seen a better on-line price?). This also sparkles hopes for 55 Days at Peking and The Fall of the Roman Empire. I've been waiting for these three so long, I'm glad the first one appears finally.

Would be marvellous HD sets indeed!

The Cid! The Cid!

About time too, fantastic news, one of my all time favorites.

I first saw it in a theater when I was 19 - twice.
Own a VHS version.
