I get that logic to some minor degree, but since he always wanted it to be one movie and was pressured by Weinstein et al. to break it up as he did, I see no reason why he wouldn't want to restore a four hour experience for home viewers the way he intended it to be consumed. After all, the man collects celluloid, wants to start a blu-ray label, and is all about home screenings

When did Tarantino say he wanted to start a blu-ray label?

He was talking with Sony about selecting and presenting some of their titles. And, in typical Tarantino fashion, he just wants to do scans of theatrical prints.

was there even an actual whole bloody affair cut? I had read over the years that what he screened at New Beverly was more or less a quick slap together and not whatever his idea of what the Whole Bloody Affair would be. The only thing confirmed I had heard was the extended/colorized Blue Leaves fight. I had heard he also extended the anime sequence? can anyone actually confirm if that is true at least?

I genuinely hope he doesn't follow through on that cut, as removing the cliffhanger from the end of Vol 1 would be a tragedy - the song in that scene holds very deep significance to me and that's it's only usage in a movie that I've ever seen, and he did a perfect job with it. I'm hoping he keeps it in. it's one of the better moments in his filmography for me, and I haven't watched the film in a very long time

These integrated cut scenes were circulating 15+ years ago from the Japanese cut. The added gore to the Blue Leaves fight is terrific and inventive

The Mist should be the only one. They are all from the era of 2K DI, so there is less incentive to put them on a 4K disc I suppose.

Mifunefan found artwork and specs for a 4K of the 2010 The Crazies which I remember as a pretty decent film (not seen the Romero original) with Timothy Oliphant in his patented sheriff role. Steelbook only though I read somewhere that Lionsgate may be considering regular keepcase editions going forward after fan feedback.

Extras:

DISC 1-4K ULTRA HD (MOVIE + SPECIAL FEATURES) / DISC 2- BLU-RAY (MOVIE + SPECIAL FEATURES)
2010 Audio Commentary with Director Breck Eisner
The George A. Romero Template
Makeup Mastermind: Visual Effects in Motion
Behind-the-Scenes Photo Gallery

Paranormal Pandemics
Rob Hall in Action

LIONSGATE LIMITED EXTRAS (4K ONLY)
2025 Audio Commentary with Director Breck Eisner
Establishing Shot with Breck Eisner
Sculpting the Horror of The Crazies
Alternate Ending
Storyboard to Screen: Car Wash

What's interesting is that earlier today there was also a blog post on Lionsgate Limited for The Crazies and a separate one for May (2002) with Angela Bettis. So hopefully that's coming too with a new scan.

Vestron are releasing All of Me on 17 June.

Steve Martin's best film and performance me thinks.

Question: what are the changes of an non US release of the film on Blu Ray? It seems to have had a very all over the places release internationally in cinemas and DVD so no idea who owns the UK or Australian rights now. Anyone have a inkling of the UK or Australian rights situation?

About time. This film has only existed in absolute dogshit presentations, and I was wondering if it had been sitting in some legal limbo hell.

eBay scalpers and sending to a US border pick-up address aside, any Canadians know how to get copies of these Lionsgate Limited or any going forward Vestron Video discs? Because some fucking idiot within that company has whimsically decided Canadians can no longer have access to their product, and even my most terrific Toronto store, Bay Street Video, who diligently work hard to get everything, can’t figure it out.

Whether this is tariff related or not, this former Canadian company will no longer ship to Canada.

I doubt it is tariff related. More likely it is just that the people in charge of Lionsgate's home video department are idiots.
