Shame that's a temp coverart. Its so much better than what we're likely going to get.

The original poster was simple, but evocative and very effective:

473

700

I like the poster much better than the some of the DVD covers the film has had. Let's hope Paramount uses it for the Blu-ray. This masterpiece merits a special packaging of some kind, a book package or something,

Chinatown is one of my most wanted Blu-rays and I'll buy it no matter what the cover turns out to be.

Well, let's give the artist some credit, shall we - the wonderful Jimmy Pearsall, who also did the poster art for another film already on Blu-ray that you should all be buying smile.gif

I'm guessing most of the "Centennial Collection" titles will be released released this year. Sunset Boulevard is probably not far behind.

Chinatown was one of the last deep catalog titles released in a new DVD edition (as opposed to a mere repackaging) by Paramount, so it's good to see this title released in an even better edition on Blu-ray.

I'll let someone else bite on that.

Any chance you can reissue the soundtrack CD with perhaps additional session tracks?

Here's an update with content details. There will be a commentary track with Robert Towne and David Fincher. Interesting. Looks like a decent release.
