NEW MEMENTO SE: Info (1 Viewer)

[Mark Hobbs]

If Memento doesn't win the AA for Best Screenplay it will be a travesty.

in honor of the agreed upon travesty>>
it appears they are also packaging this together with 'Following' though Memento is not the SE version

DVD Empire lists a two pack of Memento: Limited Edition and Dogma: Special Edition for release on 5/21. Color me baffled. I guess if you want to see opposite ends of the spectrum in film editing (one has one, the other doesn't), this is the set for you!

Just to let you all know what will be on the Memento DVD SE.

According to an ad in Video Business Magazine, the Memento SE will be a limited edition with a box designed like a note book, with a light blue cover and black spine. Also in the lower right hand corner is the name Shelby L.

The features are listed as follows

Disc 1

Remastered in HD

Directors Commentary

Widescreen Presentation

Subtitles English and Spanish

Audio DTS English 5.1 Surround

English 5.1 DD

2 Channel

Disc 2

Anatomy of a scene

Director's shooting script

Theatrical Trailers

Original Short Story

International Campains

Production Stills and Sketches

Hidden Features and much more...

I think this set is worth double dipping, and I for one will be the first to do so.

 

[MatS]

thanx for the info Ben

 

[Jussi Tarvainen]

Finally, some substantial news! Thanks. Looks good, but I hope the disc will have cast interviews - it'd be very interesting to hear how Pearce approached the character etc.

 

[Bill J]

Thanks for the info, Ben. I will definitely get this one.

 

[Ryan L B]

Image is reporting that the Memento included with Following WILL be the SE. Can't post a link, you'll just have to do a search.

interesting Chad...the listing on Amazon.com shows it as a 2 disc set (it would be 3 if it were the 2 disc SE of Memento and 1 disc of Following) @ a price of only $33.71. Someone's info is incorrect.

[Chad Gregory]

Yeah, I saw that link in your other post. I would assume that this is just another case of Amazon not having correct information. Happens all the time.

I for one am hoping that it is the new version of Memento. Especially, since I never did get around to picking up Following, already dumped my original copy of Memento and was hoping this was my chance to get both.

-Chad

 

[MatS]

would love to be positive thinking about it, but my guess is the 2 pack Memento/Following package is the old version. Like Ben's info from VBM said the SE version will be limited. Either way I am not pre-ordering anything until I have final confirmation of specs and price on all versions.

This title posted today on the Laser's Edge site with street date of May 21.....but "with features to be announced".

 

[Bill J]

At least it's widescreen. It IS Columbia you know.

 

[Jakob_S]

Remastered in HD

????????
HD-DVD?????

 

[Chad Gregory]

Jakob,

Almost all DVDs are mastered in HD and downconverted for the disc's release. If you were to check your collection, you would notice that this is said many times. It isn't shocking in the slightest.

I'm guessing that the hidden features on disc 2 will include the chronological version - because the current list of extras doesn't even begin to warrant a second disc (unless that Anatomy of a Scene is huge).

I'm surprised about the DTS - the current Dolby Digital track hardly pushes any limits, I wouldn't have thought there would be any drastic improvement from DTS. Then again, what do I know?

I'm guessing that the hidden features on disc 2 will include the chronological version - because the current list of extras doesn't even begin to warrant a second disc (unless that Anatomy of a Scene is huge).

I certainly hope so... Far from being just a "novelty"--a chronological analysis of the film was so intriguing to me that I duped/re-edited one myself on tape... This would be the only feature that would make the upgrade worthwhile for me...

DVD Shrine has posted the artwork for the disc. It looks pretty cool and I can't wait to buy it.

Excellent cover. Time to sell of the original to a buddy I guess.

So I have to sell

Usual Suspects

Memento

Traffic

I'm happy that these are getting good treatments, but jeez can't a guy enjoy his purchase for a few years first (guess I did that with U.S.)
