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

I will second your question

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.
