New Friday the 13th Boxset!!

[spawningblue]

Nice to see they included the Best Buy bonus disc. Hopefully those Lost tales docs. are good as well, even though I just picked up the massive Cristal Lake Memories book! Haven't had a chance to go through it, but it looks pretty sweet!

[rhett]

certainly parts IV-VII would really benefit from having more gore, especially IV, V and VII... but as satisfactory as a 3-D version for part 3 might appear to be, please folks don't forget about the alternative ending.... don't you remember the story about that lead girl being too much against the violence committed against her in the alternative finale (or was it the originally planned finale?) and a couple more scenes... and then they just cut it away?

Wow, I wasn't aware of this. Granted, I haven't read Bracke's book, or any other book on the series for that matter, so I'm definitely not the most educated on the subject. I'd love to see that scene as a bonus on the disc. Edited back into the film, eh, it works pretty well as is.

me too i guess that is the pics of the alternate ending of part 3 i hope that is included with part 3 as well as it being in 3D if not unrated and also since i guess part 2 isn't unrated i am hoping the lost tales bonus feature maybe shows deleted gore footage atleast can't wait until feb 3rd 2009 is really starting off great with horror films and dvds

[maybrick]

If that was the way part 3 originally ended then putting it back into the movie would really screw up the continuity with part 4, wouldn't it? Unless somebody else buries the ax in his head, of course.

And dude, when are you going to learn to use punctuation? Seriously.

It was a dream sequence, so it can go back in and screw up nothing but the mental state of the character, who's mental state is screwed anyway.:)

[maybrick]

Ah yes, I forgot about the dream sequence. Thanks for the reminder. ;)

Well, the finale was supposed to feature jason unmasked, with a pretty kickass slightly different makeup on, decapitating the lead girl in a brutal manner... I guess it was to appear as the ending dream sequence instead of him just running towards here coming down from inside the house, which is an awesome scene and should stay in the movie... even though I can't judge cause I never knew any different to compare, I just got used to it.

But to me the alternative ending should DEFINITELY be a subject of debate around fans in the "mandatory" stuff we want in the new version kind of discussion... I'm so surprised no one brought this up so far (as far as I know)

Actually the screen captures you can find online are pretty good quality, so if they're any indication of an existing source for that scene, we should demand it...

Just my 2 cents, thing is I was very surprised I kept reading about unrated unrated and no one brought this up, it would be amazing to have that scene and whatever other alternative scenes they filmed as a "deleted scenes" feature on the future DVD release.

I agree. I would love to see this added at the very least as a special feature as well as the alt ending for Part 2. Even Part 4 had one or two alt endings that have never been see but definitely filmed.

[NaturesMistake]

DAMMIT! Part 2 BETTER be uncut!

[Grim]

DAMMIT! Part 2 BETTER be uncut!

Doubt it. I think if there was usable uncut footage from Part 2 it would have ended up with all of the other deleted gore in the first box set.

Alternate endings for Part 2 and 4? I don't remember ever reading or hearing about these. Could you elaborate?

EDIT: The only thing that comes to mind for Part 2 would be the mom's head opening her eyes. Still drawing a blank for Part 4.

[Zombie Dude]

It's an easy buy for me if it is.

Yeah, Part 2 is the head and eye's opening. I remember reading in Crystal Lake Memories that there's a scene that explains where the mom went missing and she's dead in a bathtub. There was ending mentioned that comes to mind where the lead chick runs into the bathroom to hide and the dead mom literally crashes up through the tub and grabs her.

I have to read over it again but I think there might have been another one.

[Paul0889]

now is part 3 gonna be the real sterioscopic 3D or the cheap shitty red and blue glasses

[Matt89]

cheap shitty red-blue 3-D, clearly.

I have part 3 in 3d. The system is only like $20. Looks pretty damn good.

i tried the whole friday 3 in 3D from ebay thing, got the glasses and system to view it, and yet it looked like SHIT on my tv. all a blurry mess

Checkout the bestbuy listing i guess it does confirm it will be in 3D

more info on friday the 13th part 3 in 3D

http://www.joblo.com/arrow/index.php?id=14463

[Egg_Shen]

I’ve got to say that I don’t have much interest in watching it in 3 D. Not if it’s like the Freddy’s Dead disc New Line put out. I do commend Paramount on the effort though. Didn’t somebody here post something about a 3-D Blu Ray release? Now that would be something.

[bigdaddyhorse]

I still want to see it in 3d since my parents wouldn't let me when it came out originally.
So I guess the red/blue trick works fine for anamorphic TV's but the other system (forgot the name, too laxy to go back a page) doesn't?

Was it the red/blue glasses or the other on it's original theater run?

[rhett]

Was it the red/blue glasses or the other on it's original theater run?
While I was still sucking breast at the time and can't confirm either way, I definitely remember seeing red/blue 3D glasses with the Friday the 13th brand on eBay several times when I was actively buying Friday memorabilia. Most seem to say it was shown the polarized lenses, but considering the technology and the conditions of theaters of the time, I'd image there was more red/blue than anything else. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Friday 3 was polorized 3-D in it's theactrical run. The red/Blue glasses that you see on ebay are from a 3-d poster they were selling at the time.

[Misanthrope666]

These will all be single disc releases with Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound and have lenticular packaging!

OMG! I am definitely going to buy these discs if this is true! I don't have a blu-ray system yet, but I will be buying BD of Friday 1, just to have it. :banana:

[Zombie Dude]

I'm guessing the 3D will be an option on the disc. I mean surely?

[fceurich39]

I'm guessing the 3D will be an option on the disc. I mean surely?

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10759974 this says that both the standard 2D version AND the 3D version will be included which is a relief in case the 3D version looks like crap

[Matt89]

So two separate versions of the film on one disc? Plus the bonus features? Ouch.

--->COMPRESSION<---

This better get a blu-ray release.

yep but has it been officially announced that these deluxe edition dvds are just 1 disc dvds not 2 discs?

Weren't there issues with 3D movies on newer 16x9 tvs?

Good to know. What a disaster that would have been if they only had the 3D version on its own.
yep but has it been officially announced that these deluxe edition dvds are just 1 disc dvds not 2 discs?

Good question. Lets hope they're 2 discs.

[Matt89]

I could swear to God I read a press release that said all the deluxe editions would be single-disc releases with lenticular packaging.

~Matt

[Matt89]

Weren't there issues with 3D movies on newer 16x9 tvs?

The issue was regarding the 3-D system required to view the film in "stereoscopic" 3-D. The DVD coming out from Paramount is going to be in "anaglyphic" 3-D, with the red-blue glasses. There shouldn't be a problem with 16x9 displays.

~Matt

I'm hoping you read wrong. At least Part 3 should get a 2 disc set.

[Dave]

How well do these 3D DVDs work, though? I remember Freddy's Dead DVD being shitty 3D. I saw that in the theater, too, and I remembered the 3D being much better.

[Myron Breck]

...I saw that in the theater, too, and I remembered the 3D being much better.

Well, it was better in the theater. But I think saying "much" may be pushing it a bit. But was it because of the technology or the size??? I mean, seriously, it can't be as cool on a small screen as a theater-sized, right??? I can't imagine that the effect can ever truly be duplicated.

[Zombie Dude]

How well do these 3D DVDs work, though? I remember Freddy's Dead DVD being shitty 3D. I saw that in the theater, too, and I remembered the 3D being much better.

I'm not expecting much from it. It might surprise me, but after seeing the Freddy's Dead ending on dvd, well that was hardly impressive.

[Maniac]

Here in the land down under they are also re-releasing parts 4 to 8 with new packaging ... maybe they will finally release them with the original artwork for the covers.

No pics yet, but they are $10 dearer than the normal release.
http://www.ezydvd.com.au/mech/quicksearch.zml?f=title&q=friday+13th&x=0&y=0

Heh, upon looking at it again it doesnt even seem like they are releasing the frist 3 in a pack here. Weird.

I'm surprised to see we're getting Special Editions of Part 2 and 3. As for the new covers, meh. I might buy them seeing as I don't have any of the sequels yet, but if all goes well we'll be seeing some more Deluxe Editions of the sequels.

not sure i have not heard a single word about the new box set other than it is listed on fangoria's chopping list i guess since it comes out the same day as the deluxe edition dvds it must be the deluxe edition dvds in the box set not sure though?

I'd say it's going to be exactly the same as the deluxe editions. That's all we've been hearing about anyway. No actual box set has been mentioned in a while.

[Grim]

You know, John McNaughton said that the MPAA isn't allowed to tell filmmakers what to cut because then you can sue them for censorship...



Well it's not exactly them telling the producers to cut material. Just more like telling the producers what got the film an X-rating. It's still ultimately up to the studio on what they should cut out so the MPAA isn't really trying to censor anything. They gave the film a rating and stated why.

[fceurich39]

http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releases/friday-the-13th3.html

cover art is up but no word if part 3 will also include the standard 2D edition also???

[Grim]

Would have loved the original cover art, but these aren't that bad and at least incorporate some of the original design of the original covers. I'm also digging the red. I have a feeling though that these covers are gonna get the shit flamed outta them by 80% of the fans. Oh well, just glad to see that the titles are getting the respect they finally deserve.

[Ptflea2]

Ugh, I can't say I'm all that crazy over the covers. I can understand why they don't want to use the original art work, so as to separate these releases from the previous ones, but there just doesn't seem like a lot of creativity here.

[spawningblue]

Wow, those covers are terrible!

[Stige]

jsut a question , I see all three are being released on blu in the UK same time , anyone know if the bonus will be the same ?

[Zombie Dude]

Wow, those covers are terrible!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that. That's some of the worst cover art I've sen in a while.

[Matt89]

Hmmm...the artwork's not THAT bad (not for part 1, at least. Actually, I kindof like the artwork for part 1.) But what I don't understand though, is why did they try so hard to re-create the original artwork? (Parts 2 and 3 specifically) It doesn't make sense.

*sigh*

Another petition guys? LOL

But hey, at least it looks better than the boxset artwork (they used the original Friday the 13th "font"), and at least we're getting part 1 on blu-ray. (And parts 2 and 3 in the UK on BD)

~Matt

[SickNick89]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that. That's some of the worst cover art I've sen in a while.

I think they are still better than the parts 5-8 covers paramount used for the original dvd releases. At least these maintain the themes of the original vhs releases.

[maybrick]

As with MY BLOODY VALENTINE I'm interested in an upgrade but will most definitely be holding off for the reviews to come out.

[Mattapooh]

God, those covers are just horrible.

[Matt89]

Part 1's not so bad. I like the "wooded" atmosphere of the background, and if you look closely, you can see Brenda, Bill, Marcie and...Ned/Jack? in the background. It's not totally out of left field, like the artwork for Happy Birthday to Me was.

~Matt

[vampyr789]

i have to agree with Matt on this one, part 1's cover is not that bad, the rest are just barely passable. IDK why paramount didnt use the originals!! oh well, at least part one is uncut, part two has features, and part three is in 3D.

paramount probably saw the art work for Final Exam, and thought "hey lets do the same as BCI, and recreate the art work!" only it worked better for BCI

[Harry Warden]

God, those covers are just horrible.

I agree. They are horrible, and not in a good way!!

[Katatonia]

Man, what shitty covers!

[SickNick89]

I'm suprised so many people hate these covers. Sure, it isn't the original artwork but do you remember the boxset artwork? would you rather some crappy photoshopped background with jason's mask superimposed over it and a tacky font across the top? Besides paramount already used the original artwork for the original dvd releases and when companies re-release a dvd they usually change the artwork as to not confuse people on which edition they are buying. In that case these covers are about as good as I could hope for.

[Buddusky]

Read here regarding Part 7:


http://www.pitofhorror.com/main/buechler.html

"JCB: If you could get the fans to write in to Paramount, you could force them to do it. We could find that footage, it's in the vault."

[wago70]

OH MY GAWD...so, by using Prom Night's killer, they're trying to make this look new and appealing to new consumers?
Aren't there ANY creative people on staff at Paramount???????????
Okay - let's hope DVDTalk.com has some good replacement covers.
For what little it's worth, those are better than the Crystal Lake to Manhattan art and font. At LEAST they kept the font. I sold my Crystal Lake box on Ebay just because I couldn't stand to look at it and the menus.

[Matt89]

The title as in 'Friday the 13th'? the new dvds use the original front the, 5-8 discs used that random frighthouse font. I'm glad they went back to the original logo.

[Matt89]

Okay, I'm not singling out anybody in particular, but people SERIOUSLY need to shut the fuck up. We're FINALLY getting part 1 uncut in North America with a bunch of special features, AND the original on blu-ray, parts 2 and 3 on blu-ray in the UK (and pissibly a North American release, although Paramount doesn't region code their blu-rays anyway). We're getting a deluxe edition of part 2, part 3 in 3-D, and the rest of the series likely to follow. Like what more do you people fucking want? Sure the artwork's not perfect, but it's not the worst cover art ever made for a DVD. (Everyone remember Happy Birthday to Me?) I actually like the artwork for part 1. And, Friday the 13th has got better treatment that a good 80% of Paramount's (FAR FAR better) films. Plus, we ARE getting the uncut version of My Bloody Valentine through Paramount (and Lionsgate). They've been VERY generous and given these films FAR more than they deserve. Besides...

Look at all the DVDs from Paramount that are still barebones:

American Gigolo
Ordinary People
Urban Cowboy
Terms of Endearment
Nevada Smith
The Great Gatsby
The Last Tycoon
This Property is Condemned
Hud
A New Kind of Love
Le Mans
The Hunted
Hell is For Heroes
Nashville
Nevada Smith
The Tenant
Play it Again, Sam
The Carpetbaggers
The Parallax View
Three Days of the COndor

...just to name a few.

and... Love With the Proper Stranger STILL hasn't been released on DVD!

And people have the nerve to bitch and complain about fucking cover art. We got what we wanted, shut the hell up already! Fuck.

I think the cover is just as important as the disc and feature itself. If there's cover art that looks pretty awful (which I think these do, more so Part 2&3) we have a right to say so. Part 3 doesn't even come with any special features (besides being in 3D which is said to suck anyways).

[wago70]

I think Paramount needs all the smack they can get from us so they get on the ball and release a superior product.

I have a feeling part 3 will have extras, they probably just haven't announced them yet, seeing as how part 3 in the boxset had a commentary. then again, it doens't look they have included any of the extras from the boxset which is a little disappointing as I hate owning multiple copies of the same movie. Maybe down the road they will do an ultimate deluxe boxset and include the same bonus disc.

I hope you're right. It seems pointless having a 'deluxe' edition with no special features.

[Matt89]

I think Paramount needs all the smack they can get from us so they get on the ball and release a superior product.

What exactly makes it INferior?

Sure they're not releasing them all at the same time, but would you rather Paramount rush them all out at once and use the same transfers and not take the time to make these deluxe editions? Or, would you rather them release them one at a time (or in this case, 3 at a time) and let Paramount take the time to remaster them, give us new fresh special features and at least give us SOMETHING?

I think the cover is just as important as the disc and feature itself.

Really? I could honestly care less about cover art. What's ON the disc is what really matters.

it doens't look they have included any of the extras from the boxset which is a little disappointing as I hate owning multiple copies of the same movie.

They have the Tales From the Cutting Room Floor bonuses from the boxed set on the first disc, as well as the "Jason Forever" doc that was a Best Buy exclusive on the boxset (which I didn't get) on the DVD of Part 2. I'm pretty sure through all the docs the same info will be rehashes of what was said before. (I know a lot of what's talked about on the boxset features for Part 1 was the same shit they said on the doc on the R2 disc.)

Considering it's going on my shelf, I'd prefer a visually attractive cover as opposed to something that looks rather cheap.

[17thJuggalo]

I never thought I would double dip on any of the Friday films, but the fact that they're uncut makes me want to reconsider.

[mclay18]

Plus, we ARE getting the uncut version of My Bloody Valentine through Paramount (and Lionsgate).

Paramount doesn't deserve credit for the unrated version of MBV to surface; Lionsgate did all the work. Paramount was generous enough to let Lionsgate get the home video (and cut footage) rights, I'll give them that much.

Well if Paramount hadn't licensed the rights to the film and the uncut footage, we'd be getting nothing. So, they do deserve SOME credit.

~Matt

[Gua]

I hear a lot of talk about the covers but does anyone know if parts 2 and 3 will also be "uncut" like part 1?

And for the record, I have to say that the covers are fine. It could be that they decided to devote more of the budget to the actual transfer instead of the artwork which is fine by me. I want a clean, crisp, and uncut movie. After all, you'll only look at the cover less than 60 seconds each time you feel like watching the film. And that's the truth.

[Grim]

I think the cover is just as important as the disc and feature itself.

Honestly? Do you arrange your DVD's with the cover facing out? The only time one sees the cover is when they actually pull the flick out, then they put the disc in and toss it to the side. Hardly as important as the feature.

THANK YOU. People put wayyy too much emphasis on fucking cover art. Sure, some artwork's bad, but honestly, who really gives a fucking rat's ass? The MOVIE itself is really the ONLY thing that's important. Not cover art, special features, packaging...I mean why do you buy a movie? For the movie itself, not for its fucking cover art.

cover art is up but no word if part 3 will also include the standard 2D edition also???

I don't mind the new cover art, but those hands are way too un-womanly :lol: for the first flick.

[Zombie Dude]

Okay, the spine. They used the original font, so that's all you'd be seeing anyway.

~Matt
It's not that attractive a spine.

Ok, it's not AS important as the film (I admit that was an overstatement), but come on, I think we're entitled something nice to look at when we pick up a dvd. I can deal with Part 1's cover, but the other two look cheap.

[Matt89]

It's not that attractive a spine.

What's wrong with the spine? It says "FRIDAY THE 13TH - UNCUT"....I fail to see how bad this will look when placed on yout shelf. It's no big deal, really.

[17thJuggalo]

It's just the first one that's uncut.

Even the UK Blu-Rays for 2 and 3 are cut? Damn.

Oh well, I double dipped on Nightmare on Elm Street 1 despite having the box set, so I guess I can do the same with Friday the 13th.

[rhett]

Haha, those covers suck. Whatever though. They could make the covers the same as the ones for Horsez (http://horsecomedy.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/ps2_horsez.jpg) for the PS2 and I'd still be getting these suckers day and date. It is quite a gratifying feeling finally seeing the word "Uncut" beneath a Friday film. That's practically been this forum's mission since its inception!

The 3D glasses for Part 3 look nifty but I'm still pissed off that it's not getting any special features.:mad:

[DVD-fanatic-9]

If the only new thing about part 3 is "3 D," I'm not going to buy.

Also, can't really say this loud enough - "5.1 or 2.0-Stereo Audio!!!"

I can usually accept not-great cover art. But some cover artists just need to be fucking shot. Especially whoever did the cover of From Beyond. I'm sorry, but that cover is one of the ugliest, dumbest-looking things I've ever seen. And I now, over a year after I first saw that fuckin' thing, have talked to people who've said they won't even RENT the DVD because of how awful the cover is.

That one is an exception to the rule. It's worth placing emphasis on that one. If Paramount is so keen on putting out new discs to replace old cover art... I don't see why Fox didn't just POLL horror fans before putting out a cover as bad as From Beyond.

Oh, and as for "who gives a rat's ass..." Well, I'm ashamed to put my new Pet Sematary: Special Collector's Edition disc in the same row with Tremors, Serpent and the Rainbow, Dead Alive, The Fly, etc., because the cover design is so bad. So it does make a difference in some cases. On some cases, about some.

[maybrick]

A single pair of glasses is inexcusable. That means they want you to watch it all by yourself.

[Matt89]

Yeah wow, the only special thing about Part 3 is it being in 3-D? Wow...lame. Definitely passing that one up. I'll stick with the UK blu-rays of parts 2 and 3.

~Matt

[spawningblue]

I like how they give away the ending to part 1 on the back of the cover!

And really disappointing to see the only extra for part 3 is the 3-D. Doesn't leave much hope for them doing special editions of the rest of the films. And one pair of glasses!? I agree, what the f*ck! Most movies come with like 4. I'm sure they'll sell extra for ridiculous prices.

Well I have to admit, I held off on buying the R1 of Happy Birthday to Me because of its ugly-ass cover art. (And the fact that it was fucking $34.99) Then I found out the R2 had the original score on the German track, and that it retained some of the original artwork, so I went with that.

But I still don't see how people can say, "I'm not buying it because of the cover art." That's just stupid.

However, the "Deluxe Edition" of Friday the 13th, Part 3 is quite lame. I've seen the 3-D version of part 3 and well...honestly...it ain't nothin' special. (Hahaha and only 1 pair of glasses? Haha wtf is that?)

~Matt

[The Joker]

I'd like to know how 3D the part 3 DVD really is. In my experience, 3D, when translated on DVD, doesn't show well at all. A Nightmare on Elm Street 4, and some cheesy western called Comin' At Ya are two such examples. It doesn't look 3D whatsoever. It just looks red and blue.

I also love how they always seem to reveal who the killer is on every edition of Friday the 13th. (I mean sure we all know, but there are tons of people who are just discovering this movie.) And well...not everyone knows the killer in part 1 was his mother.

~Matt

[spawningblue]

Will this use the same glasses as the Nightmare DVD? How many did that set come with? I thought I remember them being the red and blue kind, where these glasses look to be clear, wonder if they'll work the same?

[maybrick]

I'm assuming they've left off extras from the Part 3 disc to keep the bitrate high enough to pull off the 3-D, but if they're cramming both versions onto a single sided disc I have my doubts it'll be good enough.. I'll be waiting for the reviews before I buy. Who knows, we may be pleasantly surprised with the results.

[Matt89]

^ Yeah I was thinking that, too. But I mean....yeah how could that save the bitrate? We're talking a solid 3 hours of movie time on one side of a disc. (Makes one think why the hell Schindler's List wasn't a single-discer, or maybe Giant, too. Although, that one's more like 3 and a half hours.)

~Matt

[fceurich39]

a few websites says part 3 will have both the 2d and 3d versions though it doesn't say here

[spawningblue]

Well it states on the back that it "includes a 3-D version of the film", as if it's an extra, so I'm guessing the original version will be there as well. hence why there are no extras.

[Stige]

well that makes the decision to buy the blurays region B ( maybe) og 2 and 3 easy

[SickNick89]

I agree. Unless you are using lcd shutter glasses 3-d dosen't translate well to dvd. btw, it was nightare 6 that was 3-d.

[bigdaddyhorse]

Will this use the same glasses as the Nightmare DVD? How many did that set come with? I thought I remember them being the red and blue kind, where these glasses look to be clear, wonder if they'll work the same?

I doubt it will work with them and here's why I'm almost positive.
I checked out "Journey to the Center of the Earth" from the library recently and it didn't have the 3-D glasses. I dug out my Nightmare ones and tried, but the newer 3-D effect uses a different color scheme and all I saw was a wavy mess with red and blue tint. When I looked at the disc in the store, I noticed the "clear" 3-D glasses pictured, so it's different and not compatable.
Even my "Valiant Vision" glasses didn't work (a 3-D system from some comics years back, although they look clear and the same, they are not.)
Last but not least, my Nightmare 6 glasses from the theater are just the old red/blue as well. Can't believe I found those though!

Now I know many watch movies like this alone, but at least give a second pair for a date/friend/dog. Most 3-D flicks come with 4 pairs, one is beyond cheap and my level of excitement for this release just dropped to almost zero. The reviews better say it's stageringly awesome (by reviews, I mean opinions of fans who have bought it and chimed in at fine forums like this) or I'm passing.

BTW, the Nightmare box came with 2 pair of glasses.

[fceurich39]

i wonder what stores will be getting these for sale???

[spawningblue]

on the bottom left hand corner, (the box below the "black bars are nomal" box) is states in a bullet point "Theatrical Trailer"

What's with that picture of Paul on the back cover of Part 2? I don't remember a scene like that in the film.

And another thing. Can I just order on amazon.co.uk even though I'm in the States and is anyone sure the UK blu-rays are region free?

yes you can, and the region free-ness of blu-ray discs varies from title to title.

Look at all the DVDs from Paramount that are still barebones:

American Gigolo

Nashville

...just to name a few.

I love that cover. They could have at least added it as an insert.

[Matt89]

Yeah, that is pretty badass artwork.

And to be honest, I can hardly think of an MGM DVD that retained the original artwork. Sure there are some, but not many. (I've never understood why studios did this. It's not like Capitol Records is gonna go back and re-do all the album artwork for all of Pink Floyd's albums, so why do it for a movie? And I don't think "appeal to a larger audience" is a reason. If kids don't wanna see the movie because it's old, one look at the back of it and seeing "1986" on the case would probably deter them anyway.)

Why didn't they include the commentary for part 3? Looks like I will have to keep the previous boxset even if they end up doing deluxe editions of all the films.

[boycrieswolf]

Right there on the back of the box it says...Unrated version 10 seconds of additional footage...:lol:...shit, better not sneeze. Seriously, I may rent this out of curiosity but I'm certainly NOT going to double dip and give fucking Paramount any more of my cash for 10 extra seconds...:eek2:

Wow, 10 second? I thought it would have been more than that.

[Katatonia]

I don't get what the big surprise is really, it's always been known that the unrated version only contained about 10 (or less) seconds of extra gore.

Yeah it's the same version that's been released everywhere but North America. I heard some of the scenes actually hurt the movie as the gore doesn't hold up very well. Either way, I'll grab it and I already have the theatrical cut from the boxset. It's to bad they couldn't include both versions of the movie though, especially for the Blu Ray.

maybe the reasons they included only the uncut version is because they didn't want to have two discs for the dvd and because they have special features on the dvd and couldn't fit the theatrical version but they could of easily had both versions for the blu ray also seeing as how part 3 doesn't have any other bonus features besides the trailer they fit both the 2d and 3d versions on the disc probably because The 3d version will be crappy to watch hopefully not though

[Matt89]

Yeah, that was the only cut the film actually benefitted from. Hmmm...if they color-corrected it, it might look alright. But yeah, it actually looks pretty bad.

It's just that the most extensive addition to the unrated cut, Kevin Bacon's death, seems to go on a bit longer than necessary and you can kind of see that it's basically Kevin Bacon's head with a fake neck and upper torso.

[DVD-fanatic-9]

Well, I've always noticed that Annie's neck looks too orange and Jack's neck looks too green / gray to be believable human body parts. But I actually think Annie's throat slitting looks great in its' full version. As for Marcie, the weird thing was seeing the picture where she stood next to the dummy and it has almost half her actual size. But it did look a lot like her.

An interesting bit of news I read at CHUD.com:http://chud.com/articles/articles/17515/1/THE-12-DAYS-OF-CHUDMAS---DAY-3/Page1.html

Seems like we can expect special editions of Parts 4, 5 and 6.
Don't go buy the old Friday the 13th box set that Paramount has on shelves right now - the studio is rereleasing the series in new special editions. Parts 1, 2 and 3 (in 3D!) are available for pre-order right now; I have reliable word that 4, 5 and 6 are on the way. Let's see if they bother doing 7 and 8 (the last of the Paramount Fridays).

[Matt89]

Nice. Hope they all hit blu-ray, too. (Maybe we can see a release of Parts 2 and 3 on blu in North America.)

~Matt

[fceurich39]

i am pretty sure part 7 and 8 will get the deluxe special edition treatment if 4,5,6 does but i sure hope part 7 will be released uncut if they decide to release a special deluxe edition

I really have to wonder what the hell Paramount is thinking: they announced DVD re-releases of the first 3 films in the US, but only the first one is getting a Blu-Ray release, and they exclude any extras already available from the 3rd film's DVD (except the 3D version of the film).

In Europe, they are releasing the 2nd and 3rd films on Blu-Ray next month. The 3rd film is getting some extras that are not featured on the US DVD, but it's missing the 3D version of the film (and it won't include the audio commentary from the boxset either).

[Matt89]

Anybody have the specs for the UK blu-rays?

~Matt

[Funktion]

So far I've only seen the press releases for the Spanish Blu-Ray discs (which will certainly be the same in terms of extras), which you can check in the following links (in Spanish):
Friday the 13th: Part II (http://www.zonadvd.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=18939)
Friday the 13th: Part III (http://www.zonadvd.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=18938)

Let me try to translate the name of the extra features, based on the names given for the US releases (a couple of them don't seem to be present in any of the upcoming US DVDs, so I just translated the name to English):

Friday the 13th: Part II:
-Inside Crystal Lake Memories
-Friday's Legacy: Horror Conventions
-Lost Tales from Camp Blood: Part 1
-Jason Forever
-Theatrical Trailer

Friday the 13th: Part III:
-Fresh Cuts: New Tales from Friday the 13th - Part 3
-Legacy of the mask
-Lost Tales from Camp Blood: Part 2
-Lost Tales from Camp Blood: Part 3
-Slasher Films: Going for the Jugular
-Theatrical Trailer

Both films are listed as having Dolby TrueHD 5.1 in English, and Dolby Digital Mono in a few languages, but English isn't one of them (I hope the UK release has the original mono track). Both are listed as 1.78:1 1080p transfers.

very disapointing part 3 isn't getting extras although it is understandable because having both the 2D and 3D versions on one dvd takes up alot of space. although i think it should be 2 dvds it would be odd because the first and second friday films are only one disc not 2 discs. paramount just doesn't want to spend the extras money for blu ray releases of the sequels and making part 3 have two dvds!

[Grim]

http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/news/topnews.php?id=9084

This pretty much confirms that we're at least getting special editions for 4,5, and 6. Although I hope there's more than just interviews with guys that aren't even involved in the series.

[spawningblue]

I think I may just wait for an all new box set now, as it's pretty much destined to happen. Sucks they won't include everything from the previous set though, now I'll have to have two box sets sitting on my shelf. Hopefully they'll do them all up on a big Blu Ray set so it makes the double dip worthwhile.

Oh, and as for the fan commentaries, sounds lame to me. Lets not include deleted scene scenes and instead waste space for this. Damn Paramount, give up your rights to these films already! Hopefully they'll be at least some other worthwhile features though.

[HAEMORRHAGE]

Paramount isn't the only one looking to cash in, New Line is doing the same. Looks like it's just repackaging Jason Goes to Hell, Jason X, and Freddy VS. Jason all together though. Nothing new.

This is in the new Voorhees a history of violence magazine. This gives me some new hope, Maybe they are uncut.But i am not holding my breath though!

That's the first time I'm hearing that all 3 will be uncut. If that's true, I'll be happy as shit but like Matt said above me, I'll believe it when I see it.

[KillerCannabis]

HorrorHound misspoke, they're NOT uncut. Only the original is, and I can tell you for a fact 4-6 won't have any extra footage reinstated. I don't know about 7 and 8 yet, but once I find out I'll report back.

[GizmoDVD]

Ok, got Part I on Blu-ray and Parts 1-III on DVD today (well, at my doorstep). My friend also received them and here you go guys...

All the DVD versions include slip covers. The BD does not.
Part III has NO Special features.
Blu-ray has TrueHD track.
No free Movie tickets :( .

Gonna watch these today and tomorrow...so excited.

Yeah, didn't think so.

can't wait to see a review for part 3 i am anxious to see how well the 3D is

[brarhapsody]

Hi. I'm posting some images from the part 3 of R4 Box collection.
(All images were captured from http://cinemaemcena.com.br/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14787&PN=10 - and all credits (images) to Dr. Calvin).

1st images from menu (only in english and static);
http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/3753/sextafeira1333d01es3.jpg
The pics 2 and 4 are from the old transfer & the pics 3 and 5 from the new transfer.

By the way, the R4 version is the R1 version (5.1 and 2.0 DD English) except: R1 include 4 pairs of 3D glasses; and R4 include 2 pairs of 3D glasses and a Jason's mask.

The pics 6 and 7 are about 3D transfer.

The full movie is in 3D and it's great on LCD (HDMI connection). I didn't test on PC, neither the 5.1 DD on Home Teather.

Sorry my english.

[spawningblue]

Hey brarhapsody, what special features does this have? I was under the impression the R4 edition wouldn't have the 3D version, but would have lots of extras. Does this mean the R1 DVD may have extras? Also what does the Jason mask look like you got with it?

Video looks a lot better at least!

[Matt89]

Wow the new transfer on the 2-D version looks amazing. Jesus Christ, look at the Paramount logo LOL.

~Matt

[fceurich39]

cant' wait to watch part 3 too bad it isn't coming to blu-ray but i will watch the new dvd in my blu ray player anyway

[Matt89]

I bet you anything parts 2 and 3 on blu will come when the remake hits DVD/blu-ray. Paramount's probably just waiting. CLEARLY they've made new transfers, so I'd be willing to bet a lot of money that blu-rays of these movies are not far off. (And considering they're being released in the UK on blu-ray, chances are we're gonna get them too.)

yep also deluxe edition of parts 4-6 are supposed to be coming in june that is when the remake is supposed to hit dvd methinks

so i guess part 3 is the red/blue glasses the back cover art for part 3 the glasses look like their clear so i guess not

says part 3 will have the third part of the lost tales of camp blood i thought part 3d deluxe edition has only the theatrical trailer and 2d and 3d versions but i guess not

[KillerCannabis]

From the reviews I've read part 3 only has the 3D version as a bonus feature. I'll just grab the R1 edition and the UK BD for the extras.

[fceurich39]

any links to the reviews also someone told me that the back cover art for part 3D has a typo that it does infact have special features but i will believe when i see some official reviews though

[brarhapsody]

Dear spawningblue, the only special feature on "Friday, the 13th III" is a teatrical trailer. Exactly the same on R1 version. The part II is the same too.

[brarhapsody]

damn! why do u always get your stuff shipped like a whole b4 its released??? i only get it shipped 2 days b4 release date!

[NaturesMistake]

I will NOT buy a red/blue version of Friday the 13th 3D. I already own one that uses a shutter system (which was only $20! Why do people think shutter systems are expensive?). The 3D is amazing. The red/blue will look like shit. On the review, they say that the kills are disappointing on the new SE. What's the point then? The kills look amazing when seen with shutter glasses.

[vampyr789]

The kills look amazing when seen with shutter glasses.

what are shutter glasses?

[NaturesMistake]

It's a technique utilized by theaters like IMAX. The lenses have electronic pulses sent to them that trigger a shutter. On good glasses, you won't notice the effect. On cheap ones, there is a slight flicker, but the 3d comes right at you either way. There are a few Japanese releases that are presented in this way (I have Jaws 3d, Flesh for Frankenstein 3d, and Friday the 13th 3d). You can get the shutters on amazon. They come with a couple of movies that aren't really in 3d. You have to seek out real ones yourself. The default flicks look terrible because they weren't shot on 3d.

Update:

Holy SHIT!!! They really went up in price on Amazon. You can ebay them for about $20. It's worth it.

The correct term is "field sequential glasses" btw. Shutter glasses is more of a slang term.

I bought this some years ago. The movies it comes with did look terrible, so I never bothered with them again. Where did you pick up those Japanese releases?

[gunner]

I'm looking forward to these next week, but I'm disappointed by only pt 1 being released on blu-ray. I seriously had hopes of buying my very first blu boxed set. Speaking of which, what happened to the new box set plans anyway? Where's the other parts? Next year? Sorry if this has already been explained in the thread, I haven't been too forum worthy. Gotta catch up!!

[NaturesMistake]

I got them on Ebay. They were bootlegs of some obscure Japanese format. All the films were presented in widescreen with subtitles on the lower bar. Since these films were made for this system, they look LOADS better. I never thought this kind of 3d would be achievable on the home theater front. One thing though, the setup does NOT work on an hdtv yet. I watched Friday the 13th 3d with a two buddies of mine about a week ago on my 50inch bigscreen. Pretty fun. I just wish Paramount would have gone that route instead.

[Buddusky]

Check your mail vampyr789. They're highly recommended. :D

[Mutilated Prey]

I'm just gonna grab the Part 1 uncut Blu. I'll wait for Part 2 and 3, ect. to go Blu as well.

[fceurich39]

i learned all 3 films dvd versions are all remastered in hd which is amazing considering its paramount here

[Zombie Dude]

i learned all 3 films dvd versions are all remastered in hd which is amazing considering its paramount here

That does sound good. Not sure if I should wait for Blu-ray though.

[Matt89]

If Paramount's remastered them all in HD transfers then CLEARLY they're gonna eventually get a blu-ray release. I'm gonna hold out for parts 2 and 3 on blu. I already have way too much shit to buy in February.

i learned all 3 films dvd versions are all remastered in hd which is amazing considering its paramount here

Well, Paramount's always been very very good with image quality. It's not often that they re-issue a movie in a new SE without doing a remaster.

My Friday the 13th uncut Blu shipped today from Deep Discount :glasses:

[alice.b]

Unfortunately the new Friday 3 in 3D disc is missing the 3d title credits.
Apparently the 3d doesn't kick in till the credits are over.

I was so disappointed when I heard this as I remember seeing it in 82 when I was 11 and those titles where spectacular.

[Stige]

buying the region 2 blu part 2 and 3 , and the region 1 dvd og the 3d part 3

gonna be pissed if the US blu that may or may not come includes the 3D version and it turns out great

[Grim]

Yeah that's why I'm holding off and not getting the sequels on blu yet from overseas. The US blu-ray that will no doubt come (it's just a matter of time) will be at least equal to or better than the R2 release of Part 3 (I'm leaning towards equal to).

[Buddusky]

Just got all 3 films in today and gonna go and check them out with the home cinema system cranked up. :D All 3 discs come with hologram slipcovers and look pretty good.

[maybrick]

Initially I was excited about owning Part 3 in 3-D. I could even settle for anaglyph. But if they can't be bothered to do it correctly by making the opening credits 3-D, then I can't be bothered to double dip. Why are they even bothering if they're going to be so half assed about it?

[gunner]

I couldn't resist ordering 1,2 & 3. I could care less about the 3-D release, I used to have the jap dub w/ electronic field sequential glasses, it was cool but had a shitty washed-out transfer and was a pain in the ass to set up...sold it all on Ebay. I'll check out this gimmicky red/blue 3-D version, but the new upgraded transfer of pt. 3 (in 2-D) is what I'm after.
The 3-D I'm looking forward to is seeing part 1 on blu-ray in all it's crystal clear & illusioned 3rd dimension glory!! I absolutely cannot wait to see this disc. A shame that's the only installment being released on the format. All my DVDs, no matter how impressive the transfers once were, just look so fuzzy & flat to me now.

[Matt89]

All my DVDs, no matter how impressive the transfers once were, just look so fuzzy & flat to me now.

Yeah, that's the way I feel now when I revisit most movies on DVD after watching its blu-ray counterpart (or just watching a blu-ray in general). Some DVDs look amazing when upconverted, but it's rare.

Wait, wait, wait....not ALL of the movie is in 3-D? Where did you read that? If it's true then fuck that, the opening credits (on the anaglyphic 3-D version I have) are the ONLY thing that actually looks pretty cool. The only problem is the anglyphic system doesn't work on HDTVs.

~Matt

[spawningblue]

I think I might pick up Part 1 and hold out for the other two to be released on Blu. You know when they release part 3, it will not only have the 3-d, but also all the extras that the UK version has, like part 3 of that short movie. Makes no sense to leave it off, and leave viewers hanging as to what happens!? That and part 1 on Blu seems to include the extras related to it from the original box set, so hopefully part 2 and 3 will as well, including the commentary for part 3!

Was just going to ask the same thing myself!?

[rhett]

I've got all the discs, and I can confirm that the opening credits for Part 3 are not in 3D. There's a disclaimer at the start of the film that the first ten minutes are not 3D, but that you should be wearing the glasses for them anyway. The disclaimer looks old school, like it was part of the print they used to do the transfer, so perhaps that's all they had in the vaults? Or at least that's the first one they came across and just went with it not knowing. That's a bit of a letdown, but once the real 3D does kick in, it's pretty good for red/blue.

[Matt89]

Yeah, sounds cheap. Fuck that shit, PASS. Thanks rhett :D

~Matt

[Buddusky]

Can you post any pics of them?

Hey Zombie Dude, I tried taking photo's but they didn' t turn out good as they are holograms. I was hoping it wouldn't be the blue/red glasses for the 3D as they do your fucking head in after a short time. :eek2: There's no way I could watch the whole movie like that. As the discs are Deluxe Editions I thought we'd maybe get an inlay card but as usual, nothing. Great hearing them in surround sound tho, what I've seen of them. :D

[SpaceAce]

does anybody know if anyplace (bestbuy, walmart,etc...) will be doing any specials with the first 3 Friday movies and the new documentary? I thought someplace might do a "deal" if you get all three together or if you get the documentary or some combo price or something. Let me know if anybody knows of anything like this...thanks

[SickNick89]

I'm gonna be a geek here and say the correct term is lenticular not hologram for the friday the 13th boxes. lol

[KillerCannabis]

So wait a sec... am I correct that the 3-D version will NOT work on my 52" LCD HDTV? That's what I'm gathering from some of the responses I've read above.

No, the standard red/blue 3-D version from Paramount will work. It's the old shutter glasses "anaglyphic" 3-D versions that don't work on HDTVs. (Paramount didn't release them this way, so the 3-D will definitely work on your TV.)

[Dave]

I just ordered Friday 3 DVD from Amazon. Did I tell you how much I love Amazon Prime? I do!

I decided to wait on the blu-ray. I don't watch Part 1 enough to get a blu-ray right now. I would bite on blus for 3 and above, however, if they come out. Ideally I make it until a box set comes out...

[Buddusky]

I watched some of the film on my 50" Plasma and some scenes looked good, considering the blue/red glasses, but other parts didn't look that great. Will check the rest of it later. The part not long into the film with the guy holding the clothes pole up it was coming right out the screen.

Not much of a fan of Part 1, eh? I like Part 1 more than Part 3 that's for sure, but Part 2 I think is the best of all the Fridays. I want Part 2 on blu more than any other Friday the 13th movie. (I'm SO tempted to buy Part 2 on blu from Amazon UK, but I gotta hold out for the eventual North American release).

~Matt

[fceurich39]

for me anyway parts 2,3,4 are my favorite of the series heck call me crazy but i like part VIII better than part 1 mainly because part VIII was the first horror film i seen in the movie theater and also my first friday film i have ever seen

but i heard from reviews the the red/blue 3D works best on HDTV'S so i will be playing it in my Sony Blu-Ray Player on my 32" Sony HDTV

[Buddusky]

I think the first 4 are the best so can't wait for the so called "The Final Chapter" to eventually get released remastered and in 5.1 Dolby Digital. :D

[fceurich39]

Cool, that's what I was hoping to hear! The article was saying you'd have to own a multi-region blu-ray player to view them in the US, but I was thinking I heard Paramount's blu releases were region free. And these two come out the week after next. I think I'm sold. These will be my first import b-r discs, and it'll be nice for once not dealing with the whole pal/ntsc crap. WooHoo!!

[gunner]

Can anyone suggest a good UK blu-ray seller that will ship to the US? I'd love to get these as close to release day as possible.

Amazon.co.uk. That's what I'd use anyway.

If ever you need to know region free info for blu-rays then check this site out. Normally has info before most movies are released.

[NaturesMistake]

After all this talk of Friday being released in 3d, I checked out my field sequential version again. Let me say that the 3d was BETTER than the Bloody Valentine Remake. WHY didn't they do it this way? Red/blue looks ok (depending on the tv), but it won't do this movie justice. I suppose it's nice that they are at least trying.

Let me note that I am obsessing because I have read the reviews :(
It's sad that many people won't get to experience the true 3d version of this movie.

[gunner]

Thanks for the info guys! I pre-ordered pt 2 & 3 blu-ray for $23.29 each (shipped) from Amazon.co.uk These two aren't listed on that multi-region site yet, but from the other Paramount releases it's looking pretty promising that they'll be region free. I'll be the guinea pig. Pt. 3 is my all time favorite, I can't wait!!

[Stige]

ordered the bluray myself, IF they get released in region A , then perhaps a double dip if the bonus features are very improved or ifthe 3D is omg!! according to reviews.

Just hope and pray the delux editions of 4-6 in june get the bluray treatment as well at least here in Europe :evil:

7-8 could care less happy with the dvd's

Good luck. They should be region free, as you said, Paramount titles usually are.
I don't think Part 3 Blu is in 3D though. On a plus side it should have special features.

i guess the friday the 13th 3 disc box set containing the 3 deluxe editions isn't coming out on feb 3rd i have not heard or seen any info other than it being listed on fangoria's chopping list

I've been informed by a friend on DVD Profiler who already has the UK Blu-rays, that they are both indeed region free. :)

Uncle Parcel just dropped off my Friday 3D DVD, and a day early! Woot. I was just about to plop on the couch and looking for something to watch. Search over!

[marcx]

I went to BB at lunch today--picked up the last F13th blu-ray, the last paart 3 dvd, and a copy of His name was jason. Part 3 I ahd to grab due to the 3d, but I see no reason to get part 2 again until it hists blu--and based on waht I saw in the store a lot of others feel the same---the blus were gone, part 3 was gone, but plenty of part 2s and part 1 dvds...

[NaturesMistake]

I picked up Friday the 13th uncut for the features, because the box set lacked them for the first movie (I already had a bootleg of the uncut version), and picked up the documentary. I didn't see a reason to re-buy part 2 because it doesn't really offer much, and gave the shaft to 3, because as you all know (I've been gloating) I have the far superior field sequential version + a shitty red/blue version. I have multiple versions of all these flicks, so in order for me to buy a new copy, it's gonna have to be uncut.

For what its worth the new version has much MUCH better 3D effects than either of the two bootlegs floating around. I haven't seen the field sequential version yet, although I do own both the field sequential DVD bootleg and the original VHD Japanese laserdisc. I just haven't gotten around to ordering the darn glasses or a VHD player. Bad news about the new DVD of course is the intro credits are no longer 3D.

My review for Part 2 (http://horrordigital.com/viewarticle.php?articleid=735)

Thankfully this transfer makes out much better than that of the first film. I'd even say that comparing DVDs, this is significantly the best visual upgrade of the lot.
