Last year (Feb 5 2008) Warner Bros for their 85th announced that Once upon a Time in America would be redone in bluray the first quarter. Is there any new news of this?

Thanks

It can't come too soon for me. Hopefully we'll hear something soon.

I would also be interested in West.

I'd like to see the Eastwood Leone films released in a box set too. Not just The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

Their was talk of them having discoved the missing extra footage, so that they could now re-assemble the uber-director's cut.

This could run anything from 30-60 mins longer than the 229 min cut. I assume whatever's happening with regard to this will determine the release date. I also seem to recall something about audio being missing so presumably the original actors may need to re-dub their lines...

Heck, I'd take the extra footage (from the Italian TV version, right?) as unfinished deleted scenes if I had to.

Finally got a copy of the source novel, but it's a British edition, so all the dialogue is in single quotes and lots of words end in "-our" instead of "or." Kinda takes away from the Lower East Side flavou -- um, flavor!

WB might have spoken before realizing how much work was required to bring this truly epic-proportioned work into proper condition for a BD release.

I wonder if RAH has any inside poop on the state and status of the effort.

Very interested in this title as well. After watching this a million times on VHS and laserdisc, I bought the old DVD but never actually watched it (it's quite a time commitment, as you all know). I'd be happy to skip that generation altogether and go straight to a blu release.

Yeah, me too.

Can't say I've seen it a million times though.
