Re: Warner announces Forbidden Planet for November
Joeseph-The Criterion Forbidden Planet has no documentary or fluffy interviews. As mentioned above, it's all text based and Criterion created material.
The extras from the Criterion laserdisc that I refer to that would be great to see on the WB disc are the following:
The cut line from the ending
Alternative opening shot that's a rough cut
Costume test stills
Set stills
Prop stills
Robby the Robot, half assembled with actor inside still
etc, etc.
There were a ton of black and white stills that the modern DVD generation may not appreciate as much as the LD crowd or hard core fans, or film historians would appreciate.
And of course no hi-def DVD has been or will be released before the announced November release. No one has so much as suggested such a thing. We're asking for screen grabs from the televised HD version we keep hearing about and which people assert exists as a computer file.
