Will there be a Ferris Bueller SE? (1 Viewer)

[Dustin Elmore]

Thats strange, I thought I remembered it being 2.35:1, however all the websites that sell the disc list it as being 1.85:1

 

[Kelvin Lennon]

I would love for this film to get a re-release, but it seems that Hughes' films, will immensly popular, get fairly shoddy treatment in the features department, which is a shame because I loved his commentary on Ferris Bueller.

 

[WillG]

It's definately 2.35:1 Super 35. Hughes himself makes comments about the AR in the commentary. It's probably the websites not doing their homework and assuming it's 1.85:1 since, as far as I know, all the other Hughes films are 1.85:1 and Paramount does not indicate aspect ratios on their packaging.

I loved his commentary on Ferris Bueller

I'll be honest, I thought it was one of the dullest, humorless commentaries I have ever heard. It really made me realize why he hasn't made a good film in 15 years, he has lost any sense of humor he once had.

It is a commentary that even made me think less of the film after listening to it. I disliked it so much I took some of that out on the film.

Im game for a special edition.

Here are my descriptions for the LaserDisc

I thought the DVD was a great transfer for it's time. Remember that this is an older DVD release.

I would love a 20th anniversary edition of this. I had the privlege of seeing this on the big screen a couple of summers ago as part of a local theater's midnight screenings.

Richard Roeper has said this is his 3rd favorite movie of all time. I would like to hear a commentary from him.

A proper 2-disc SE should be:

Anamorphic widescreen transfer

DD 5.1 and 2.0 Audio tracks

Commentary with John Hughes (either new or the one on the current DVD)

Commentary with Matthew Broderick, Alan Ruck, Mia Sara , and Jennifer Grey.

Trivia Track

"Bueller? --- Bueller? --- Bueller?"

 

[MikeEckman]

This is a perfect example of the saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Most people on here are pleased with the video transfer while the thread started was appalled by it. I've never had any complaints about the disc either, and for the price you can usually pick it up nowadays, its a no brainer. For as popular as this movie is, I agree it deserves an SE, but it would have to be pretty darn great for me to double-dip on this one since I almost never watch supplements anymore.

A Special Edition is on the way according to past reports on the Digital Bits. There has been no mention of it for the Fall. My guess is that they are waiting for 2006 on its 20th Aniversary. My guess is that PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES will get a SE late 2006 or 2007 also.

 

[Chris Bergmann]

I think DigitalBits mentioned SEs of Ferris Bueller, Face/Off, Braveheart and Truman Show for this year.

Looks like only the SE of Truman Show is going to happen.

Sorry for not specifying what should be on each disc.
Shouldn't the trivia track be on disc 1 so you can read it while watching the movie?
Also, there should be talent files on there so we could see what everyone in the movie has done since this classic arrived in theaters.

 

[Moe Dickstein]

The LASERDISC was INCORRECTLY shown at 1.85:1

The film was intended for 2.35:1 and shot in Super 35. The DVD is correct.

At the very least the deleted scenes should be presented. There is a whole section about Ferris on the radio talking about wanting to be an Astronaut that was hastilly removed in the wake of the Challenger crash (this scene was in trailers until that moment) There is more material that Hughes discusses in his commentary track.

A new documentary could certainly be made. No need to do 2 discs, but there's certainly a more complete SE to be made here.

Planes, Trains is in even more dire need - not even a trailer (Some politics were involved here as the release was originally to include deleted scenes.)

A Ferris Bueller SE would be a definite double-dip for me!



Very interesting to hear. John Hughes has said that there exists a three-hour(!) cut of the film, and he would like to see some of the deleted material surface one day. DVD sounds like the perfect opportunity for that. When and if we'll get to see it, I have no idea...

DVD PLANET has FERRIS BUELLER : SE coming January 10th 2006.

 

[Ocean Phoenix]

This fills me with hope that my first DVD purchase of 2006 will be that long-awaited favourite of mine, but I will wait for an official announcement before I celebrate over it.

 

[Patrick.C]

While I'm certainly excited about this impending double dip, I'm still scratching my head wondering...
Where is the SE of The Breakfast Club?

 

[JohnS]

Where is the SE of The Breakfast Club?

with a FULL cast reunion commentary(done Goonies style, w/ Hughes) and doc.

now that would be sweet!

Side note: It's been awhile, but we use to have the actor who played the principal come in to the casino quite often where I work.

And even funnier note is that we always play the main song(dont you forget about me) piped in through the casino.
