When youve got it, flaunt it baby! - The Producers coming in December! (1 Viewer)

[Keith Paynter]

Thanks to Bill Hunt at The Digital Bits Rumor Mill, The Producers (Special Edition) is finally coming to DVD - I guess I'll have to retire my Criterion LD (no PCM audio!)

 

[MatthewA]

Yes! Yes! Oh god Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mark Philp]

YES!!! Ever since I read this I've been humming "Springtime For Hitler". I know what I'm giving for Christmas this year.

 

[Keith Paynter]

"giving"???
I'll settle for getting!!
"Vot is dis 'baby'?"

 

[Ric Bagoly]

This is fine news. It will be a good viewing.

 

[SteveGon]

YES!!!
Ain't nothin' like good news.

 

[Steve_Knutzen]

THAT'S OUR HITLER!!

 

[Scott Weinberg]

Great news indeed! My Dad will want one too!

so is there going to be a commentary by Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder and cast plus extensive interviews from a by gone age.
How about some footage of the film and the play

 

[Ken_McAlinden]

I'm hysterical! I'm having hysterics. I'm hysterical. I can't stop when I get like this. I can't stop. I'm hysterical. Oh my god. Ah-la-la-la.
[Forum Moderator throws a bucket of water on Ken]
I'm wet. I'm wet. I'm hysterical and I'm wet. I'm in pain and I'm wet and I'm still hysterical!

Regards,

I'm the concierge!

Too early to tell what the specs are going to be - I'm sure Bill & co. will know more soon enough! A commentary from Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder, Dick Shawn and Kenneth Mars would be ideal (Christopher Hewett passed away last year).

Criterion only had a theatrical trailer as bonus material when they created their laserdisc.

The film was shot full frame and matted theatrically for 1.85:1 so we can probably expect another anamorphic transfer from MGM.

"You are ze audience...I am ze author! I outrank you!"

 

[Bob Graham]

Dick Shawn passed away quite some time ago.

Anyway, I can't wait for this disc to come out. I'm gonna be rich! Max Bialystock sold me 100% of the DVD distribution profits!

:b

 

[Kajs]

Is 20th Century Fox going to jump on the bandwagon as well and release Silent Movie, etc.?

 

[Joe Bernardi]

Good news!

One more to erase from my wishlist.

 

[Keith Paynter]

Sorry, I didn't know Dick Shawn had passed away. My bad.

 

[soop.spoon]

aw... apparently my thread from yesterday doesn't rate... "We're not aloOOone...."

 

[Keith Paynter]

hmm...I started the thread after trying a search - nothing came up!

Note to the Mods - a merge, maybe?

"Will the dancing Hitlers please wait in the wings - we are only seeing singing Hitlers..."

 

[Kevin M]

I will get this fantastic film to be sure, but I also would like a DVD of the original cast Broadway musical.

 

[Peter Apruzzese]

"Shut up! I'm having a rhetorical conversation with myself!"

"I fell on my keys."

"I'm sorry I caught you with the old lady."

"Come in, Mr. Tact."

"I have to - I'm the landlord."

"He's wearing a dress."

I can't wait for this one - thanks in advance, MGM!
