Todd http://www.darkhorizons.com/news.htm It's about midway down the Thursday listing in green color.

And the Digital Bits is stating it will be a 2 disc ultimate edition.

Our most reliable sources have checked in with the street date for Universal's long awaited 2-disc DVD "Ultimate Edition" release of Ridley Scott's Legend. Look for it to hit stores on May 21st. Expect an official announcement soon.

Word is that Universal wants the street date for "Legend" to coincide with the DVD release of "Black Hawk Down"

 

[Scott Weinberg]

Luke, that's very funny! And from a new guy too!
As everyone knows, I would wrestle a starving mountain lion to get the DVD. May 21st is what we got right now, tentatively. Once Universal makes their official announcement, then it's "officially tentative".
I wont believe this DVD exists until after I've watched it twice and caressed it with a moist towelette.

Just received my R2 review copy. The menus are static, there are no extras apart from a trailer and it's 2.35:1 anamorphic.

 

[TheLongshot]

Tristan,

Just curious, but is it the original European cut?

Sidenote: McFarlane Toys has an awesome figure of the Lord of Darkness from Legend coming out.

 

[Tristan H]

Jason, I've not actually watched it yet, but when I do so over the weekend I'll let you know.

I'm glad they are releasing a theatrical and a director's cut on the same disc. One of biggest pet peeves is when they release them on their own. Look at American Pie Unrated, I'll never be able to see Jim screwing the pie standing up. The unrated has him ON the counter. Funny, but not the same.

 

[Chris Dugger]

Is it that we have 3 cuts of this film?

The UE Region 1 which contains:

A Director's Cut

The US theatrical release

and the Region 2 release which contains:

The European theatrical release

Anyone know?

Dugger

 

[Steve Christou]

Yes thats true, three seperate cuts of Ridley Scott's Legend. And I have all three.
Best and longest version is the region 1 director's cut.

 

[Vincent_P]

The European theatrical release is essentially a shortened version of the "Director's Cut", correct? That is, unlike the U.S. theatrical release, there's no footage in the Euro-theatrical that's exclusive to that version?

Vincent

 

[Mike_Richardson]

Vincent:

The Euro-cut has a slightly different ending...plus the 16:9 Fox transfer is superior to the American 16:9 Director's Cut (colors are warmer and the overall source material in better shape).

Cool to know, always wondered about the UK R2
