Really need the director of the film to get things moving

 

[Philip Verdieck]

I would pick this up in a heartbeat. Along with "Name of the Rose", another Connery classic.

 

[Dan Hitchman]

I will reiterate: the full roadshow cut needs to be released!

I thought I should bump this thread with the very good news that Warners will most certainly release this to DVD in 2004. They are having that oddball "poll for AOL users only" to determine the relative release dates of 20 films, among them The Wind And The Lion. However this means at best we get this film early in the year: at worst we get it later in the year. But it is at least coming.
The DVD will be a cleaned-up version in anamorphic video, and possibly a 5.1 audio mix. It's been reported that big bad John Milius has already recorded a commentary track.
"Perhaps the previous owner had nothing pleasant to say."
Here's a classic photo of big bad John Milius:

I wonder who those other two doofuses are......:p)

Why didn't Milius go to do more big films?

Thanks for the great news, Dennis. I really don't want to wait another 18 months for the disc, but in the long run, it's worth it.

I can't wait to see this in its OAR - I've only seen the P&S version on TV and VHS.

"You are a lot of trouble!"

 

[Jack Briggs]

"Military intervention!"

 

[Michael Martin]

"You do not laugh at the Raisuli!"

Well it looks like Warners is going to put The Wind And The Lion into its first batch of new titles, to arrive next January.....
"That darned cowboy doesn't know it."
I just knew that this disk would be announced within a month or so of my obtaining the LD....:rolleyes

 

[Jack Briggs]

No complaints here, buddy.

 

[Jeff Ulmer]

Great news on TWATL. Now if they would reissue The Man Who Would Be King properly...

 

[Jack Briggs]

Yes! An entirely new transfer with an entirely new soundtrack. When I hear the words "adventure film," these two titles spring to my mind first. They don't make 'em like these any longer, sad to say.

 

[oscar_merkx]

It certainly looks like I am going to be in for a treat as I have never seen TWATL before

 

[Dharmesh C]
