Any idea who is involved with the commentary ?

uh-oh,I smell a coffee table book :frowning:

 

[BethHarrison]

I don't know - this one doesn't look like it will be an UCE.

 

[stephen^wilson]

Well I can only hope lol

I suspect that this might be one of those titles too - but it is most certainly not an "uh-oh" for me. "Cool Hand Luke" is an evergreen title that deserves the special packaging!

I'll definitely be purchasing this - I never did pick it up on DVD and Cool Hand Luke is one of my favourite Paul Newman movies.

For the record - not a book release.

Cool Hand Luke (US - DVD R1 | BD RA) in News > Releases at DVDActive

I'm surprised Warner aren't making this more of a "fully loaded" release, this is a great movie that deserves the best treatment on Blu-ray, however this looks like it could be a let down. :frowning:

I simply thought it would have more extras, more in line with the likes of the Bullitt and Bonnie and Clyde Special Edition releases.

"Cool Hand Luke" deserved to get a Special Edition from Warner Bros. not just the Deluxe Edition treatment. It's not even going to be a book release...

I'll just have to wait and see just how comprehensive the "featurette" is.

This showed up on my doorstep yesterday. Didn't get a chance to watch it all, just skipped around the first few chapters. I've never seen the film before so take that into consideration. What I saw appeared solid though. I saw no undue EE, and the image appeared natural. I don't know the level of DNR utilized, but the image looked smooth and silky while at the same time not waxy or scrubbed. I suppose there could be high frequency detail that has been filtered out (couldn't see anything in the way of grain in the shots I watched) but at least it doesn't have the feel of digital moreso than film.
I look forward to seeing what those more familiar with the material think, but will be suprised if anyone finds this unacceptable.
