Manhunter coming to BD Sept.15th

WOW! YIPEEY! WOW!

The best bit being "MGM" are releasing it, so it's very likely to be the proper Theatrical Cut too. As far as I know, MGM are the only ones to ever release it. The recent(ish) USA DVD and Japanese DVD are both MGM releases.

p.s - I really hope it's not just in a box set, although if it's a good price I could always sell Hannibal. It would work out well financially.

Seven is getting a release in HK next week.hopefully in the proper ratio.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 31 May 2009, 21:43

I still do not trust any HK release for any sort of good quality in HD.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 31 May 2009, 23:09

Thanks Salty. I'd be interested if it didn't cost a fortune, sadly I bet it will.

East is East: http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releases/ ... -east.html

Regarding Withnail and I:

I'd be if they don't include both but if they include the hideous 5.1 remix only I'm not upgrading. It's truly a disaster, the surrounds are so ridiculously too loud it's difficult to hear what characters are saying. If they include the original Stereo too I'm all over it.

EDIT: Confirmed in the link above, both the original audio and DTS-HD are being included. Yay!

As someone who prefers the international cut of LEON I'm hoping for branching.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 23 Jun 2009, 11:43

Seven HK blu-ray is region-free,however it has a 1080i transfer and is cropped to 1:78:1 like the canadian release.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 23 Jun 2009, 14:17

Bugger! I never knew there was even a HK BD.

Markgway wrote:As someone who prefers the international cut of LEON I'm hoping for branching.

I seriously doubt "we'll" get a 2 disc release. Unlike the French market, the UK market doesn't allow for it.

I cannot see us just getting one cut (no other BD has just one cut). In other words I bet you'll be fine.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 07 Jul 2009, 20:58

Collateral getting a scandanavian release.pricey though.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 07 Jul 2009, 21:09

Not one I'd rush to upgrade. DVDoo are a reliable company. I've used them a couple of times. They're Danish.

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 27 Jul 2009, 14:42

The UK BD of Leon will contain the theatrical and director's cut. Let's hope Optimum don't fuck it up.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 27 Jul 2009, 17:39

It's very likely to be a clone of the German BD. Which I own and is decent:

1. Region B
2. Seamless Branching of both cuts.
3. English or German DTS-HD 7.1 - I "think" it's DTS-HD HR
4. All the extras from the R1 Original and R1 SB Deluxe - So that means the Making Of's and Music Only Score

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 28 Jul 2009, 00:52

Only the extended cut has been passed by the BBFC so far...

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 28 Jul 2009, 13:03

Wouldn't that be because the theatrical already been passed previously? Whereas the Extended Cut has never been released in The UK before.

Previous releases were submitted by Touchstone/Disney.

The cover art at DVD Times clearly states TWO versions.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 29 Jul 2009, 13:22

I know there are two versions. It's very likely to be a clone of the German BD. No need to use CAPS!

Good point about the different distributor but my point being the version already submitted could be re-used.

bradavon wrote:I know there are two versions. It's very likely to be a clone of the German BD. No need to use CAPS!

Don't be so touchy. I was merely emphasising that DVD Times had cover art which confirmed the two versions so even though only one has passed at the BBFC there will ultimately be two.

Good point about the different distributor but my point being the version already submitted could be re-used.

A different distributor needs to resubmit the film even if it's the same version as passed for another company. Optimum will need to submit the theatrical cut.
