I agree with DeathDealer - Blue Underground did promise and has now failed to come through on the re-release of POSSESSION, whether or not they're involved in this release I don't know, but look at how Grindhouse stalled on a new The Beyond DVD and the 2-disc of Pieces, Anchor Bay flat-out never came through on the release of Sparkler (although every single site says it's been released), and Shriek Show delayed Witchery several months passed its' first two release dates. I'm seeing way too many promised DVDs that aren't coming out or are taking for-freaking-ever. I'm not completely convinced by this news at all. I'm barely even partially convinced.
Everytime I watch a movie in widescreen after seeing it in full, it's like I'm watching it for the very first time.
Then again, if Grindhouse didn't stall on a release - then that could be a sign something is horribly wrong! As for the news re Grey Velvet DVD......:banana:
Even if I wanted to watch it on youtube, at the moment I can't. Went over my download limit so things are slower than usual.
When I went to Profondo Rosso last year this was spoke of as though it was never gonna happen!!!!! OMIGOD!!! Might very well be to me the video release of the decade!!!!!
It would be logical if they put a Luigi Cozzi interview on it.As co-writer he has a lot to tell about this film (he already has in numerous interviews).
I was quite happy with the Retrofilm bootleg but an official and better looking copy will be nice to have as well! I'm not sure how much of a hurry I'll be in to buy this since I already have 2 other editions of this movie but I will buy it! Figured I'd make this my first post since it was minutes after buying the Retrofilm release that I found this forum, I was trying to confirm it was in fact bootleg and I believe I got my answer here. Anyway, hello. (and thanks!)
Basically the same way I feel! Welcome to the board! Hope you stay a while! Some great people and info here!
It's also listed on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Argento-Dario-Four-Flies-Grey-Velvet/dp/B001LIK8DO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1227227951&sr=1-2
Thats awesome news! I bought the bootleg last year and I really like the movie alot. It'll be good to replace it with an official remastered copy.
You're not kidding! I had Doors into Darkness by Argento on Pre-Order for ages and then my order got cancelled and it never came out. In all honesty, I'm almost pissed that it is coming out after spending money on the R2 disc. I waited for so long and took the plunge with that disc. I could have definitely waited longer, but we had so many times we were promised this film and never got it. I didn't want to pass up the chance of the R2 going out of print and not getting a copy. I should have actually got a copy through Bit Torrent and not spent the money!! I've learned my lesson!
Great review! Seeing this on the big screen a few years ago was nice - it played very well as a feature film. Can't wait to nab this!
