Sinikiir

Eile sai ise ka selle peale mõeldud ja tõenäosus minu arvates üsna suur.

Head uudised seoses varsti BFI'lt ilmuva Bunuel'i L'Age d'Or Blu-rayga

I can now confirm that Un Chien Andalou will be included in 1080p and will have a choice of three soundtracks:

1. The "original" tango-plus-Wagner soundtrack that Buñuel assembled in 1960 based on what he played during the premiere;
2. A brand new score by Mordant Music;
3. Commentary by Robert Short (from the BFI DVD, but with better synchronisation).

After initially being under the impression that they would only be able to use their existing SD video master, they were able to gain access to a dupe 35mm negative of the 1960 restoration (which Buñuel personally supervised and "scored").

eerik kirjutas:Taani Filmiinstituudilt on ilmumas kaks Carl Theodor Dreyer'i tummfilmi: Die Gezeichneten / Love One Another (1922) ja Glomdalsbruden / The Bride of Glomdal (1926).
Kõige parem selle juures on veel see, et väidetavalt on mõlemad väljaanded täiesti kakskeelsed (taani ja inglise), seal hulgas ka bookletid.

Loodetavasti pole ka Dreyer'i kuulsaimad filmid - Jean d'Arc ja Vampyr - väga kaugel.

See on nüüd DFI internetipoes saadaval aga sellise postikulu eest ma seda kohe kindlasti osta ei kavatse. Eesti on vist ka taanlaste arvates mingi Kolmanda maailma riik kusagil teisel pool maakera Aafrikas.

Hea uudis: Pink Floyd'i Wish You Were Here ja The Dark Side of the Moon ilmuvad Blu-rayl.
Halb uudis: need on suurtes ja kallites box-setides, The Wall Blu-rayl ei ilmu.

THE BIG LEBOWSKI
Universal City, May 24, 2011 – Bowling, nihilists, a stolen rug and the occasional acid flashback have never been funnier when one of the most popular cult classics in history, The Big Lebowski Limited Edition, debuts on Blu-ray™ August 16, 2011 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. From the Oscar®-winning Coen Brothers
(True Grit, Fargo) and starring Academy Award® winner Jeff Bridges (True Grit, Crazy Heart), this acclaimed comedy has been newly remastered in high definition to provide longtime fans and first-time viewers alike with the ultimate Lebowski experience.

Available for a limited time with an all-new 28-page companion book featuring an exclusive interview with
Jeff Dowd – the real-life inspiration for The Dude – Jeff Bridges’ personal, on-set photography, a film timeline, trivia and much more, The Big Lebowski Limited Edition Blu-ray™ is a must-own addition to any collection. In addition to all-new features exclusive to the Blu-ray™ release, The Big Lebowski Limited Edition Blu-ray™ also offers a digital copy of the film that can be viewed anywhere at any time on the consumers’ choice of devices including laptops, tablets, smartphones as well as Internet-connected TVs and set-top boxes.

“Since its creation by Ethan and Joel Coen in 1998, The Big Lebowski has transformed from a fan favorite into one of Hollywood’s most celebrated cultural phenomenons,” said Craig Kornblau, President of Universal Studios Home Entertainment. “This spectacular new Limited Edition Blu-ray™ combines the most extensive behind-the-scenes materials to date with the latest Blu-ray™ technology, giving devoted fans and newcomers alike a chance to experience the brilliant all-star cast, outrageous storyline and unforgettable quotes like never before.”

Its now iconic characters and instantly recognizable dialogue have made The Big Lebowski “the number-one cult film of all time,” according to The Boston Globe. Since its release, the Coen Brothers’ affectionately addled riff on film noir has snowballed in popularity, becoming “an undeniable pop-cult force” and even, for many, “a way of life,” in the words of the Los Angeles Times. “A masterpiece of anti-storytelling” according to Entertainment Weekly, The Big Lebowski has become a cultural touchstone for fans around the world.

Starring Bridges as the film’s delightfully unlikely hero, “The Dude,” the hilariously twisted comedy thriller also features unforgettable performances by an all-star cast including Golden Globe® winner John Goodman (“Roseanne”), four-time Oscar® nominee Julianne Moore (The Kids are Alright), Golden Globe® winner Steve Buscemi (“Boardwalk Empire”), Oscar® winner Phillip Seymour Hoffman (Doubt) and Golden Globe® nominee John Turturro (O Brother, Where Art Thou?).

Küsisin neilt, kas nad planeerivad ka Blu-ray'sid juba DVD'l olevatest filmidest ja vastuseks sain:

We're discussing it, but nothing concrete yet. Luckily we have HD masters for quite a few of our titles.

Ise loodaksin "Soy Cuba"-t Blu-ray'l näha. Sellest on neil HD master olemas ja DVD boxset on ka üsna võimas: Lisaks:
Paramountilt ilmub augustis/septembris "Breakfast at Tiffany's".

Roberto Rossellini "Roma, città aperta" ehk "Rooma, avatud linn" ilmub Itaalias 20. septembril. Subtiitrite ja muu sellise kohta veel infot pole. Loodetavasti pole ka teised kaks sõjatriloogia filmi kaugel.

http://www.terminalvideo.com/tvweb/appl ... _Id=323719

Jean Renoir' "Mängureeglid" (La règle du jeu) ilmub Prantsusmaal 6. septembril. Loodetavasti hakkab Studio Canal ka ennast liigutama ja ammu lubatud "Suur illusioon" (La grande illusion) ei ole enam mägede taga.

1925/1929 aasta "Ooperifantoom" (The Phantom of the Opera) ilmub oktoobris!

I might as well tell the world that we are just completing production on a new edition of that old warhorse, POTO, for release through Image Entertainment in early October.

This will be Blu-Ray, mastered at Movietone aperture from much better 35mm material than we have ever used before. There will be two complete runs of the 1929 version: one at 24 fps with a new score by the Alloy Orchestra and an optional score on theatre pipe organ by Gaylord Carter, previously issued in monaural but now in stereo from the original master stereo recording; the second run at 20 fps with orchestra/soprano score by Gabriel Thibadeau and an optional new audio essay by Jon Mirsalis. Both runs will include the Technicolor sequence mastered from our 35mm YCM labs negative and hand colored scenes on the opera roof and in the scene of "intolerable heat." The program will also include a standard definition transfer of the original 1925 edit from a tinted 16mm print in the usual deplorable quality but with a superb new score by Frederick Hodges. Extras will include (as still images) set construction and production stills, publicity stills, original advertising art, frames from a stencil-colored French release, and the complete script.
