Leon: 10th Anniversary Edition coming "later this year" (1 Viewer)

[Voon Jiet]

Agreed.

I can't imagine why or how the Superbit Leon still came with the bad audio when this was specifically corrected in the previous release. One can only hope they don't simply import the Superbit audio mix for this new DVD.

Anyone knows if the old R1 DVD will be OOP anytime soon (if not already)?

 

[Mike Wadkins]

so we are saying its the non corrected version before even seeing it then.

er right

 

[Mike Heenan]

Going back to what Ron said earlier in the thread, I believe Anchor Bay holds the record for releases, for Evil Dead.

 

[Colin Jacobson]

Who's said that? People are concerned that it'll be the same old non-corrected disc, and for good reason - CTS never fixed the Superbit so why have faith that they'll do it now? But no one's said for a fact it'll be the uncorrected one - we'll find out when it appears...

Here's the backcover of the Deluxe edition:

There's a tiny SuperBit symbol on the back - I don't think they've ever done this before.

So this basically is a 'SuperBit Deluxe' - I wonder why they abandoned the name and are hiding the SuperBit Symbol?

 

[Shawn_Sek]

just a heads up, the older R1 International Version with Corrected audio is only $9.99 at Best Buy this week.

 

[Jeff Newcomb]

They've done the "hidden Superbit" before. Adaptation and Punch-Drunk Love come to mind. The original Panic Room disc wasn't the traditional Superbit packaging either.

Saw Natalie Portman on Bravo a week or so ago doing an interview/sit down, talked a little bit about this movie and how strict her parents were

They are also releasing a new SE of The Fifth Element.

Columbia will never hesitate to re-release a title as many times as they think they can get people to (re)buy it.

 

[Will_B]

That's not an appropriate complaint for Fifth Element. This is the first time the extras that appeared in the import edition will be available in the US. I suppose they could be faulted for not having done this earlier, but at least they finally came around to fans' requests.

According to DVD Talk:

"Comparing this to the previous Superbit release yields evidence that this is not the same DTS mix. There is more bass, and more action from the rear channels."

 

[Aaron Silverman]

We can put this to rest now, guys. The audio tracks on the new edition are just fine. My full review will be up some time in the next few days, but I did a quick check as soon as the screener arrived. It is not the same as the previous Superbit release.

Preorder with confidence!

 

[Rob Tomlin]

That's great news.

I never did double dip on the Superbit, so this is a definite possibility (along with The Fifth Element).

 

[Ronald Epstein]

Aaron,

This will be my third dip into this title.

Glad to see that this will be the best
of the three.

I have never seen this movie, but have been intrigued by it for a year or two; I saw the version at BB for $9.99 right before Christmas and was about to get it when I saw this thread. Guess I have a reason to wait now!

 

[Matt_M]

In the scene where Gary Oldman goes to shoot up Natalie Portman's family there should be Beethoven playing right? I have the old international version and the music is not there for some reason. Only a different Eric Serra score. Does the new version have the segment with the Beethoven music playing?

 

[Matt_M]

Anybody? Was I imagining this? I know plenty of people have the Leon DVD could you check this for me plz.

 

[Andrew Radke]

I saw this movie for the first time last night. It was the U.S. theatrical version. What an EXCELLENT movie. I can't believe I'd never seen it before. The entire cast was outstanding, especially Natalie Portman and Jean Reno. I literally couldn't take my eyes off of it.

The version I watched belongs to a friend of mine, therefore I don't have it all in my collection. I'm now on the hunt for the 2-disc deluxe. I want to see that extra footage! This is bar none one of the best movies I've seen in recent memory.
