[Jeff Kleist]

[John CW]

Hmmm. How about a commentary with real-life friends of Wood?

At least Burton isn't on his own though, I sure hope Marty Landau is feeling animated - Burton's commentarys have been screaming for someone else to be present for ages!

Well, I prefer the theatrical poster, but the DVD cover (although not great) really does capture the spirit of the film.

 

[Eric Peterson]

That is the original video release and VHS cover artwork. I agree that the original theatrical poster is much better and considering that this movie is aimed at a particular crowd, you would think that they could have chose better artwork, but I will undoubtedly be purchasing this disc no matter what.

 

[Bruce Hedtke]

Yes, the theatrical poster would have been nice, but even the video art isn't all that bad. Either way, it's a winner.

Could anyone provide a link to tohe original poster art? I'd like to see that for comparison.

 

[Jack Briggs]

Street date?

[Jeff Kleist]

I like that a LOT!
Maybe it's too Rocky Horror

 

[streeter]

Cool! "Two Big Thumbs Up" is finally coming to DVD!!

 

[JasonK]

Cool, thanks for the info Jeff. I've been waiting for this disc a long time. I may have to watch and 'enjoy' Bride of the Monster again to get my Ed Wood fix.

 

[todd stone]

woot!

 

[Nick Sievers]

Is there still any truth to the rumour that Criterion may opt to pick this one up? Otherwise I'm all over this release. I love the film.

 

[Jeff Kleist]

Nick, nope. No Criterion. They did think it would make a great addition to the Collection, but that was it. I'm sure they looked into it and got denied

 

[Chris Bardon]

Hmm-interesting. Anyone listened to the Burton commentarries on any of his other discs? Didn't find his Sleepy Hollow one that interesting, but maybe others are better?

I was hoping to see a Tim Burton box set at one point, but I don't think that'll happen (along with Beetlejuice and Batman SEs). I'll be getting this one though!

From DVDFile:

Bad news for Ed Wood fans...Buena Vista has just announced that the upcoming special edition of Tim Burton's Academy Award-winning comedy has been postponed until further notice. Originally scheduled for release on 8/13, no new date has been announced, but stay tuned...

 

[Nick Sievers]

What would be the reason for the delay? Very disappointing news, I was really looking forward to owning this title.

 

[Carol Razavi]

Maybe they came to their senses and have decided to give this the Criterion treatment afterall.... or, I guess I could take a Vista Series
Here's hoping this isn't a mindless delay.

 

[MarkBurton]

Hopefully, this is the reason for the delay...
On July 12th, 2000, Sean Anderson and Lee Kline of Criterion held an on-line chat on The Home Theater Forum. Since Disney has a working relationship with Criterion (Chasing Amy, Rushmore & Armageddon), they were asked about the possiblity of a Criterion Ed Wood. Both of them love the movie and indicated that it could happen. Keep your fingers crossed. Here is a link to the article if you want to read it....

Well if this is true (about a possible criterion), why did BV wait until now to decide? We were two weeks away from having this!
