Question: Spaced - R1? - Page 2

Re: Question: Spaced - R1?

No music changes, huh? That's terrific news! I wonder which studio is releasing this, because if there are truly no music changes, that's a great job by them. The only issue I could see with no music changes is a hefty price tag, which will probably only be an issue with casual buyers. I know that fellow Spaced fans like myself will have no problem paying a bit extra for uncut episodes.

I do wonder if "all the UK extras" includes the original commentaries, or if we're saddled with only these new commentaries. That'd be a shame if they left off the old commentaries.

Either way, no matter what happens with this set, I'll be buying it to show my support for the Spaced crew, and I just picked up the UK 3-disc Definitive Collection for an incredible price, so I'm covered.

I was also wondering if all extras would be there including the commentaries.

I have the three-disc set as well and I hope he was referring to that when he made the comment.

I'm sure someone will post more when the info is out there.

This is incredible news. I've been a long time fan of Spaced and can't wait to get my hands on the R1 set. Beautiful! Also, I can't wait to see "The World's End", their new collaboration. (*note: title may change apparently)

NO music changes? Better than the R2 set which has one.

What's the one piece of music that was changed on the R2 set?

The one playing when SPACED rolls across the screen at the beginning of the second episode. They replaced it with another part of a tune that plays later in the same episode.

Curiously, the replaced music is available on the soundtrack CD.

Re: Question: Spaced - R1?

Woohoo. I can't believe they are finally releasing Spaced on R1 DVD here in the US. Thanks to all those who were responsible for bringing to the masses here.

However, I've got to say...who the hell approved the new cover art?? Yikes!! Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes (nee Stevenson) don't even look like their real-life counterparts. Same goes for Mark Heap and Julia Deakin. Only Nick Frost and Katy Carmichael look correct. Why couldn't they have left well enough alone and used the UK Collector's edition cover art?

I'm still not convinced that everything from the UK three-disc release is on this one i.e. commentary.

Re: Question: Spaced - R1?

Even though I care more about what the discs contain, I will also say that the cover art is atrocious. They didn't have to mess with a great piece of art like the Definitive R2 cover. Heck, even one of those live-action photos with the cast crowded together and looking upwards would have been better than this R1 art.

Also, it's disappointing that it looks like the original commentaries won't be featured on the R1 release. Looks like fans have even more reason to hang onto their R2 copies. Also, the wording on the press release makes me wonder if there's even going to be commentaries on each episode. For all we know it could be all 9 participants doing commentary on the pilot only. Or it could be that there are commentary tracks with one special guest alongside Wright, Pegg, and Hynes, which would only mean that 6 episodes would have commentary.

Even if every episode has commentary, that doesn't change the fact that it looks like the excellent original commentaries seem to be missing from this release.

And even with any of these flaws that might be present on the R1 release, I'll still buy it to show support, especially since (supposedly) all the music is intact.

Re: Question: Spaced - R1?

I agree Random Hero. I was ready to buy the R2 set a few weeks ago, until I found out the R1 was coming out and supposedly contained everything the R2 did.

It is a bit confusing as Edgar Wrights blog mentions that everything on the R2 will be on the R1, and now with the press release that vital bit regarding the original commentaries is missing. If indeed the originals are not included, then I'll plunk down the extra dough as 1) two of a good thing isn't bad and 2) any extra support for Jessica, Simon, Edgar, et all, is well deserved to begin with.

Regardless, can't wait to see the new cover art as according to TVshowsondvd.com, what we saw was just a rough draft. (But I'm sure this common knowledge to the reader by now...)

Re: Question: Spaced - R1?

I certainly do hope that the cover art is a rough draft, although I do have a feeling that the final version won't differ that much. Anyway, with the huge internet fan following that Spaced has, I'm sure that they're aware that the cover art isn't being well-received.

Stew, I'd definitely recommend getting the R2 set just in case. Even if this R1 version does end up retaining everything from the R2, I won't find myself regretting my purchase of the R2. Also, the R2 can be picked up at an excellent price from several UK retailers like Amazon UK, where I bought mine. Also, at Amazon UK, it ended up being about 2 pounds cheaper than the listed price for me because they removed the VAT charges because it was shipping to the United States.
