The General HD Releases Thread!

[bradavon]

Is it in the R1? That's the one I've seen. Thanks.

[Markgway]

It's in all DVD versions.

[grim_tales]

I imagine the BD will be the same as the DVD version content wise (so it be the extended version)

[grim_tales]

I'm in too Hope the UK release is the same.
Wonder if it will have the funny opening?

[Xenon]

Looks fantastic. A definite buy in the future.

[Markgway]

Lol @ the 'PG' rating. It would be an 'R' now.

[gasteropod]

Looking at these screencaps of Tintin, I wish I'd watched it in 2D now...

Dracula: Prince of Darkness sync error

"It is widely reported that the master used for this edition exhibits audio sync errors of up to 1 second. this is apparent on both Blu-ray and DVD disks and seems to be most obvious during the first 15 minutes of the film."

After the controversey over the original BD release of French Connection, it's been re-released as a BB exclusive in the States this week and amazingly sdports a new HD master with colour timing & grading much more in tune with the original cinema version.

I know it's frustrating. Nobody commented on my Dracula news either. Never been a fan of The French Connection but it's good to see Fox have tried to undo the damage. Without meaning to sound conceited if we become lurkers this forum will continue to crumble. I post because I don't want to see that happen.

Can't believe they'd make such a mistake, would they go back and fix it on a re-release?
I heard Hammer are appealing to people to search for lost footage/scenes they are hoping to find, that was cut from their films by the BBFC (not all are known to exist).

Yeah you are right.it's just very frustrating,at times it appears i'm talking to myself

[Markgway]

They're offering replacements to anyone who got a duff edition. Future batches will be correct.

I heard Hammer are appealing to people to search for lost footage/scenes they are hoping to find, that was cut from their films by the BBFC (not all are known to exist).

Should hopefully turn up some rare goodies.

Did someone say something...?

Wow! Thanks. I would've if I'd been about. I'm glad I didn't get the box set now. It's a fantastic film. Any word why Friedkin allowed this? And how it even happened? I wonder if the DOP forced Friedkin to reconsider.

I bet this version NEVER gets a UK release . I'll just have to do a rare thing and import it. Annoyingly you cannot get French Connection 2 on it's own in The UK. I'd have to import that too.

EDIT FFS! Best Buy don't ship outside of The USA.

[grim_tales]

I bet it'll be released all over the US sooner or later

[saltysam]

bluraysforeveryone are selling it,probably be £20 delivered though.

[bradavon]

Thanks. I don't mind paying a bit more because it's an import but I'm not paying that much though. Like Grim says, it won't be an exclusive forever.

I've never heard of them, I guess they're generally pricey right?

no they aren't really,just that they do a deal where 7-8 blu-rays shipped (customs safe) cost a flat shipping fee of $14.unfortunately you order less you still pay the same.Mind you,i've heard people have emailed the guy directly and he's given them a much cheaper option for single disc shipping.
