IMPORTANT
Okay, I have some new information this evening
about 1776....
The title will not be release to Blu-ray this year.
It has been taken off Sony's schedule.
Perhaps we will see it next year, but only with your help.
I believe we have very good support behind us
in seeing it released, but unfortunately studios are
looking at these kind of releases a lot differently than
they were a year ago (see my post #279).
Now...
Will need some help from all of the fans of this film.
Sony needs to be pushed to realize that there is a
sizable amount of people willing to purchase a deluxe
version on Blu-ray.
If enough people write letters and post their wishes
on Sony's Facebook and Twitter account, the thought
is that the project could be put back on the front burner.
I have tried to post something on their Facebook page
but it doesn't look like Sony is allowing new posts -- only
comments for existing ones.
I generally don't tweet, but if people are allowed to post
to their Twitter feed, that would work as well.
Perhaps someone can help me figure that out.
Additionally, those of you that frequent other forums
need to take this message there as well. We need
enthusiasts from all over the Internet to flood Sony with
requests for this title.
Of course, be polite.
Be sure to mention you want a deluxe Director's version
with all the deleted materials.
Also, since I am feeling lazy (actually I am at work), if
someone wants to post Sony's Home Entertainment
Division address, we can hopefully entice members to
send snail mail to the studio as well.
This is important. Everyone needs to show Sony that
all of you are interested in seeing this Blu-ray release.
Please do pass this along to other forums.
