Will they ever make a special edition dvd for the Neverending Story ??? (1 Viewer)

Im sure there are many others besides me who want it.

I'd buy one... grew up watching this movie, have a fondness for it.

the german version apparently runs longer, and doesn't have Giorgio Moroder's synth cheese replacing some VERY good original scoring.... It definetly would be a selling point to include that cut of the film, since it always felt too short to me and i've never been a fan of Moroders work.

I'd love a Wolfgang Peterson commentary... considering he'd just done Das Boot, and looking at the rest of his filmography, Neverending Story seems like it came out of nowhere...hearing why he picked this project would be great.

If they made this , a great extra would be the music video by Limahl !!!

I'm fine with the current DVD since the picture and audio is terrific but I would for sure buy a better version if it was released. Its funny that I never even considered that this DVD should be upgraded. This is one of my favourite films and I've never ever seen any behind the scenes footage or seen any of the actors in other roles or even heard the filmmakers comment on the film; in some ways I'm glad that the fantasy of the film has been preserved for me.

25th Anniversary is next year right?

I'd go for a Special Edition of The NeverEnding Story. Preferrably two discs with the first disc having a seamless branching for both versions of the film. A director's commentary by Wolfgang Petersen would be great. Perhaps the trailer would be on the film disc? Second disc should be dual-layered and practically squeezed with great extras. Bring on a very lovely looking cover, booklet and perhaps slipcover for alternate artwork, and I'd buy this right away. Perhaps even an isolated music score would be in order? As long as they don't cross-market it with Harry Potter and let it stand on it's own it'd be a very welcome addition to the collection.
A 25th Anniversary Special Edition in 2009 would be perfect. Thankfully it should be 2.35:1/OAR only.

Count me in guys. I also hope that there will be a 25th Anniversary of this movie and I am just waiting for my order from Germany of this movie that is 98min and the US is 90min so I can't wait until it arrives and I have never seen the German Original before so it's going to be great. How is the chances that we will get a 25th Anniversary of this movie?

 

[Bryan Tuck]

I would agree that this film is deserving of a special edition. I'd love to hear some retrospective interviews, and to see both cuts of the movie. I wouldn't even mind if they wanted to cross-promote it with Harry Potter, if that's what it takes to make it happen.

 

[Ray_R]

Please, no cross-promotions with the latter. Promote it for 2009 so it'll be its Anniversary of release.

Geez, count me in on that. And behind the scenes stuff. I've read a lot...did Artax really bite the bullet? some say no...some say he was dog food! I don't want to cry over it again so they need to set the record straight on a new DVD set.

I'd love a set with the other 2 films. Maybe include the original book too. But I'd want all the films redone, of course. Had no idea there was a different version of the movie. Oh, wasn't there a TV series? How about a whole big set of Neverending Story...hell, it'd be downright neverending!!!!!! And I'd preorder it.

In 2003 German label Universum released a 2-DVD set of this movie. It contained the German theatrical version (2.35:1 anamorphic | German DD 5.1) and the US cut (2.35:1 anamorphic | English DD 2.0 | German subtitles), the music video "Limahl - The Never Ending Story", an hour-long German TV documentary "Eine Welt für Fantasien" from 1984, a picture gallery and a DVD-ROM game. As far as I know this was a Limited Edition.
