An early announcement to retailers indicates that, confirming earlier rumors, Vivendi Visual Entertainment is set to release the Weinstein Company production Grindhouse on a Special Edition Blu-ray on October 5 (perfect for a Halloween viewing party with friends). No release details are available at this moment, other than it will be a two-disc edition .
My question is, will it include the "clean version" of "Planet Terror" as included on its separate blu-ray release (which I was preparing to purchase).
I suspect it does not. Or how about the added scenes in "Death Proof"? Hmm.
I hope it will match the content provided by the Japanese dvd edition.
A nice packaging would be nice also, but it won't happen with this list price...
Fuck this, I'm not throwing money at some cheap 2 disc. I was praying that it would be the awesome box set that was released in Japan. This is such bullshit.
October is going to be this year's version of Christmas from the looks of it. This, Psycho, Alien Anthology, Back To The Future. If this is just the initial releases being rereleased I'll be disappointed. Am I seeing things or is this now $13.99?
Ok so 2 down 1 to go, the Whole Bloody Affair!!! Last I heard around January we were looking at a near future release. Did Quentin kick the bucket? Maybe we need Robert Rodriguez to take over!!
FINALLY! I've refused to buy the standalone versions of both Planet Terror and Death Proof until Grindhouse was released, even on DVD - so this has been a long time coming!
I saw Grindhouse in theatres with my wife (she dug Death Proof), bought the movies on DVD, then got them again on Blu-ray. And now, the theatrical release of Grindhouse on blu-ray is FINALLY being released in October??? I knew it was worth the wait. I mean, after all, three years wasn't that long... was it?
I don't care how much it costs. I'm picking it up the minute it's on the shelf.
list price has been set at a very affordable $19.97 ? -Hmm I pre-ordered at $13.99 - NO! got screwed & had plenty of time afterwards? what is it $27 somthin now? F U 2 amazon!!
