I sure hope so!

Anyway. I am looking forward to this. I love this film.

That cover is great!

 

[ZacharyTait]

Awesome cover. Even though I own the previous two versions, I'll gladly triple dip on this title.

 

[Jeff D Han]

Yeah, Travis, I agree. Even though I don't really get
excited about cover art, this one is a nice looking
set. Has there been any announcements about what will
be included in this version? Will there be both the
theatrical and a "director's" cut of the film? This
is one of my favorite nostalgic type films, so I'm
happy that there will be a good SE released.

I like the cover too. It's a complete departure from both of Universal's covers, but it's a lot more professional. I've got Universal's Widescreen Flashback Edition DVD from 2004, but I'm most definitely going to buy this Criterion set. I wonder if the extras on the Flashback DVD (nine deleted scenes, retro public service announcements on the dangers of drug use, etc.) are going to be on Criterions disc? Edit: Okay, I see the specs now. The deleted scenes are being carried over. That's good.

I forgot to add the link in my last post.

 

[Casey C.]

No release date yet?

 

[Adam_ME]

Great specs! I just hope the DTS track is carried over from the Flashback Edition.

 

[TravisR]

One of the Criterion newsletters said it was coming this summer but didn't have a definite date.

Speaking of groovy covers:


Criterion's on a cover roll -- now if only that release some Rohmer & Rivette

 

[Scott Temple]

I'm glad I bought the Flashback Edition DVD. For the ten or fifteen dollars I paid for it, it's served me well over the past 16-17 months. Especially the 16x9 transfer. I'd hate to still be watching that old non-anamorphic piece of crap disc from 1998 right now.

 

[Matt Harrison]

NO WAY. You just made my night. Bring it on.

 

[RobertW]

goddam, that Lacey Chabert is hot!!! absolutely smokin'!

Not very good. Only "The Newton Boys", "Waking Life" and the upcoming "Fast Food Nation" are eligible because they're all Fox and Fox is the only company that owns Linklater films that licenses to Criterion other than Universal, and "Dazed and Confused" is the only one they own. Linklater personally owns "Slacker" and "It's Impossible To Learn to Plow By Reading Books" so he licensed them to Criterion himself, but since Warner Bros, Paramount and Lionsgate don't license to Criterion you can absolutely forget about ever seeing Criterion editions of "Before Sunrise", "Before Sunset", "Suburbia", the upcoming "A Scanner Darkly", "School of Rock", "Bad News Bears" or "Tape".
