Will The Sum of All Fears be the same as before or will it also have DTS?

As noted earlier, it will be the same as before, without DTS

Good news. I'd been holding off on buying The Hunt for Red October because of the non-anamorphic transfer, but the re-issue must be mine. (I don't really care that it has DTS: I'll happily give it a listen, but it's not a selling point for me.)

Now I'm just trying to remember whether I liked Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger enough to pick them up as well. (I know I don't want The Sum of All Fears...)

I suppose there will be complaints about double-dipping, but personally I'm pleased to see that Paramount is willing to go back and re-issue some of their early DVD titles in superior editions.

I bought HFRO a few months ago because I thought it would never be re-released. The picture of the original HFRO disc is REALLY grainy, and it's misframed to boot. I'm thrilled about this re-release, and I will be getting rid of my current HFRO disc. I can hardly wait for May!!

They don't sound THAT good.

They do on laserdisc. Since I've been holding off for a 16x9 transfer on all of these, this makes this set a must purchase.

 

[DeanWalsh]

Will be interesting to see what bitrate Paramount decides to use for the dts tracks on these films.

 

[Geoff_D]

Excellent news. I can finally retire my trusty laserdisc versions and get a brand spanking dvd box set of the original Jack Ryan trilogy with Sum Of All Fears lumped in as well. I'm suprised there are no commentaries from Philip Noyce for Patriot Games or Clear & Present Danger, though. I say that because I read an interview with Noyce several years ago which said that he'd recorded commentaries (for his Ryan movies) for future release on dvd. Ah well, I can't wait to hear the senator ambush sequence in C&PD in dts!

 

[Jeff Adams]

I am all over this!!!! I really did not care for The Sum of All Fears as part of the Jack Ryan series. If it would have been a movie by itself it would have been good. But I will still pick up the complete box set. I am so excited about this! Anamorphic and DTS!

 

[Jalil]

Currently selling my copies of hunt for red october, patriot games and clear and present danger!!! :0

set sounds too good.. guess i'll just have to sell the copies i currently have..

 

[Jeff_HR]

The Hunt for Red October...
dts...
new anamorphic transfer...
director's commentary...

I'm very pleased to see a commentary for "The Hunt for Red October" & DTS is a great bonus. I do find it odd that the other two older films are not getting commentaries. And not redoing Sum with DTS is strange too. Well, nobody ever said that studio executives thought like the diehard DVD consumer. I'll be rebuying the 1st three movies.

 

[Paul McElligott]

And not redoing Sum with DTS is strange too.

Not if they bring out a DTS "Special Edition" of SoAF in couple of years, along with the next Affleck/Ryan flick, in a new box set, for people to spend even more money on.

How many times have I purchased The Hunt For Red October?

1) Used copy of the original rental tape

2) Widescreen VHS

3) Original widescreen LD

4) Remastered widescreen THX LD

...and now it looks like I'll buy this DVD.

I love The Hunt For Red October. I astounded my wife's family the other day by being able to recite the dialgue along with the film when we came across it on TV.

I'm a freak.

 

[Tony Whalen]

You ain't the only freak Aaron.

I've been known to ask "more tea anyone" with a Connery-ish accent, whenever my wife and I are having tea. (hot, iced or otherwise..hee!)

Like many others... I'm thrilled to see this. I've held off on buying all three in the hopes of anamorphic releases! These are a favorite of my wife's as well... I've had a hard time holding her off buying the old ones. WOOOHOOOO!!!

(Of course, I'll hate the bilingual canuck versions of the covers... but that's what DVDCoverart is for.)

[Carlo_M]

Thank you Martin and Paramount! I only have HFRO and I got that a few years ago from the DVD club, so it didn't really cost me much. I will gladly repurchase. Hell I'm actually thinking of just buying the whole damned set as a "thank you" for what looks to be a great set of DVD releases! (even though I never saw SOAF)

 

[David Rogers]

Good Job Paramount

Now if only these come out seperately; I only want HFRO:SE, and would pass if forced to buy PG or CPD with it.

Funny, this'll be the first box set on DVD that I didn't either ignore or get it all. First time for everything I guess.

 

[Aaron Reynolds]

I've been known to ask "more tea anyone" with a Connery-ish accent, whenever my wife and I are having tea.

If they decline, do you tell them to return to their post?

Once I entertained a native Russian speaker with my Sean Connery-corrupted phonetic Russian (including the national anthem).

David,

You can either buy all four films in one box for less than $80.00 U.S. or buy the first three for around $15-$20 each.

 

[Tony Whalen]

Once I entertained a native Russian speaker with my Sean Connery-corrupted phonetic Russian (including the national anthem).

I'm sure they were quite... entertained.

Count me for this box and already pre-ordered it from Deep Discount DVD for only $35 shipped.
