An early cover design, perhaps?

 

[Harold Wazzu]

You know Speed is gonna show up somewhere and I wouldn't be surprised in they re-released Master & Commander down the road to be part of this set.

 

[Ray H]

You guys forgot #1.5: X-Men.

 

[John CW]

Lol!

So it's:

1. The Abyss
2. Cast Away
3. Independence Day
4. Planet of the Apes (2001)
5. The Sound of Music
6. Moulin Rouge
7. Die Hard
8. There's Something (More) About Mary
9. Fight Club
10. Alien
11. Aliens
12. Alien³
13. Alien: Resurrection
14. Planet of the Apes (1968)
15. The Commitments
16. Predator

Is that, right?

Note to those who haven't read the thread: These numbers are only on the recent reissues of the previously released ones.

Well I didtched this thread cause it's very confusing! Anways, I don't think that Moulin Rouge has a number on its side.

 

[Dan Rudolph]

It turns out this wasn't all correct as Predator is also #15. I have all of them except Planet of the Apes (1968) and Predator, albeit mostly in the older, unnumbered versions.

 

[Grady Reid]

My copy of the The Commitments SE and the new Predator SE I picked-up are both numbered 15! What's up with that?

 

[Haden]

Stupid Fox.

 

[Matt Czyz]

And Moulin Rouge! doesn't have a spine number. Where is this #6 business coming from?


edit: never mind, I had no idea that this was re-released. God those spine numbers are ugly.

 

[Daniel Kikin]

Maybe one of these days we'll be able to add Office Space to this list...

 

[Nils Luehrmann]

Fox's series of "Collector's Edition" DVDs may go down in history as an example of how not to design, produce, and market a specific series of DVDs - or any product for that matter.

The entire series is a sloppy confusing mess which is unfortunate for Fox as each individual title is quite good and had the series been able to find an identity and managed with some sense of continuity I have no doubt it would have been just as popular if not more so than many of the other successful series such as Warner's 2-Disc SE DVDs, New Line's Platinum Series DVDs, and even Fox's own Studio Classics DVDs.

As for the long awaited SE of Office Space, has there been any specific word on what happened between Fox and Mike Judge that has caused this project to get delayed indefinitely?

 

[Galen_V]

Money.

 

[Nils Luehrmann]

Can you be more specific? (Or is this just rehashed speculation from previous Office Space threads?)

 

[Nils Luehrmann]

By now I suspect those in this thread wondering about the long awaited SE of Office Space have already heard the great news, but it looks like it will be a single disc edition, and not one of their infamous 2-Disc Collector's Edition DVDs, but it is still to early to knwo for sure, and the film certainly deserves a 2-Disc edition.

Speaking of which, did Fox ever fix the numbering problem with The Commitments and Predator DVDs?

Also it appears that the following upcoming releases will be part of the series:

#17 I, Robot
#18 Man on Fire
#19 The Day After Tomorrow

 

[Nils Luehrmann]

#20 The Fly
#21 The Fly 2

 

[Jeff Krispow]

#22 Elektra: Director's Cut

 

[Nils Luehrmann]

Is this series dead or has anything followed Elektra?

 

[WadeM]

I'm surprised they're still releasing stuff in this so-called "series" with still not even as much as an insert in the DVD case, but The Omen was #29. What is the point of numbering the movies in this series? The actual movies have absolutely nothing in common--they're all just Collector's Editions.

 

[WadeM]

So, just to show an updated list of their Collector's Editions & their Studio Classics (below):

1. The Abyss
2. Cast Away
3. Independence Day
4. Planet of the Apes (2001)
5. The Sound of Music
6. Moulin Rouge (remake)
7. Die Hard
8. There's Something (More) About Mary
9. Fight Club
10. Alien
11. Aliens
12. Alien³
13. Alien: Resurrection
14. Planet of the Apes (1968)
15. The Commitments
16. Predator
17. I, Robot
18. Man on Fire
19. The Day After Tomorrow
20. The Fly (1986)
21. The Fly 2
22. Elektra: Director's Cut
23. Alien vs. Predator
24.
25.
26.
27.
28. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
