"The Hustler" SE, "The Verdict" & "Hombre" in June! (1 Viewer)

[Chris Bardon]

I remember that Fox announced a SE of this film a while back, but does anyone remember when it was due?

 

[Agee Bassett]

No specific date announced, but Peter Staddon cited first quarter of 2002.

THANK YOU FOX

Still waiting for "Never Give An Inch"/"Sometimes A Great Notion" and "Nobody's Fool".

Just picked up "Absence of Malice"...powerful, compact performance by Newman and others.

 

[Gary Tooze]

I want Hud too !!

 

[John Knowles]

Yes Paramount, if you're listening, HUD please!

 

[Agee Bassett]

The Hustler, hallelujah!

Great news on the Hustler! To me this was Newman's best performance.

The specs are now up for Hombre also, unfortunately it only has the same trailers as the other titles mentioned in this thread. Retail is $19.95 there also.
Hombre is the title some of us caught a glimpse of the restoration going on out in California in september during the meet. It looked good then, and should look atleast as good now.
Crawdaddy, you a happy camper now?

 

[Hakan Powers]

I havn't seen these posted anywhere..
Anyway, I posted the Cover Art and Main Menus for "The Hustler", "The Verdict" and "Hombre" here in case anyone is interested..

 

[Gary Tooze]

Those look great Hakan... thanks for posting !

 

[Robert Crawford]

Crawdaddy, you a happy camper now?

Hakan,
Yes, I'm a very happy camper but it's been a long wait since watching the movie's cleanup work during our National Meet in September. Just three short months to go.

[David Brashear]

I'm gonna try and pick this up, but man that cover is lame. They should have stuck with the original artwork.

 

[Dave P]

Ooof! Really bad cover art. They tryin' to make us think it's a color film?

 

[David Von Pein]

You cover-haters MUST be having a brain cramp!!

That's an excellent cover!

Just because the film's in B&W, that doesn't prevent a color cover. To Kill a Mockingbird is the same way. And probably lots of others.
