seems mao is the only source to trust when it comes to dates. forgive me, i really don`t want to offend you, but when i asked for your source and you answered "the info comes from me" that came across just a bit arrogant. anyhow lets forget about speculations, as predicted by mao, dvdactive just confirmed the june16 date: http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releas...the-13th5.html what surprises me though, is the fact that there will be rated and unrated editions. didn`t the producers originally talk about an extended cut, where the new scenes could be integrated into the film, or watched by themselves? i just hope that the unrated version will include the theatrical version as well! i was actually hoping for a nice two disc set with lots of extras and a slipsleeve! |
Re: friday the 13th remake unrated dvd
that sucks that the SDVD's Unrated Ed. will only get the Unrated film and not the theatrical as well.

Re: friday the 13th remake unrated dvd
Looks like a TERRIBLE release. I have come to the conclusion that the people in charge if New Releases over at Warner Bros. are pieces of absolute lazy shit who put together some of the worst DVD's out there.
I am terrified of the shit they are planning to pull with the Watchmen release. |
Re: friday the 13th remake unrated dvd
well, i will wait until more infos are disclosed on the release before i start complaining. however, new line used to release the best dvd sets in terms
of quality and extras. now that warner has taken them over, i also think quality will go down. especially warner two disc special editions have been a complete joke in terms of extras lately and the picture transfers left a lot to be desired as well! |
Re: friday the 13th remake unrated dvd
ok, i actually just saw the bluray add at dvdactive as well.
now i absolutely will complain!! talk about pushing bluray again. of course the bluray release includes both cuts, extras and sleeve, while the dvd versions get S***!!! already the case with he`s just not that into you release. i guess as of now standard dvd buyers (which still represent the majority of consumers!!) are second rate clients to warner! they could at least put out a special edition 2disc dvd for real fans. if thats how they push bluray....screw them big time!!! |

The Slip cover looks great though and I think the DVD coverart is the normal coverart for the Blu-ray as well. Very odd for the DVD to be either Theatrical or Unrated though. |

Digital Copy has always been useless for me (watching a horror film on my iPhone? Pass!)

Re: friday the 13th remake unrated dvd
biggest joke is that the dvd version states "from the producers of the texas chainsaw massacre"!
as the tcm special edition was such a reference dvd set of great quality and content, "the producers" should be especially ashamed!! if a was the producer, i would definitely not be happy with how warner is releasing my product! i quote the producers from their interview, which started the thread: "We are finishing up on the Unrated DVD this week. That DVD will rock! We have a different cut of movie, that not only has more violence and sex, but it has an additional storyline that is totally different from the movie you will see in theaters. Its not like we just cut a few things differently, the DVD version will feel like a different movie. For those of you who love the theatrical cut, that will also be on the DVD also." |
Re: friday the 13th remake unrated dvd
Bloody Disgusting reports that the new cut is 122 minutes, while the theatrical cut was 97 minutes.
|
Re: friday the 13th remake unrated dvd
they made a mistake, the official add definitely states the killer cut at 106 minutes!

Re: friday the 13th remake unrated dvd
I hope one of the retailers gets an exclusive, because as much as I want to get this, not having the theatrical AND the extended cut is pure bullshit.

Again, we're all assuming there's room for this stuff on the DVD. Maybe the making-of documentary is an hour. Maybe the Blu-Ray exclusive stuff is too long. EDIT: Never mind, I see 106 on the ad on BD as well. I wonder who's right... EDIT 2: It's sounding like 106 is more accurate. It's worth nothing though that the ad says "7 Best Kills" documents all of the movie's death scenes, so that could be a substantial extra. |

Look, at this point just face the facts, the studios are going to do what they have to do to drive BD adoption....the same thing happened 10 years ago in the move from VHS to DVD....were the VHS owners then making a stink when they were still the majority format, and yet their tapes came lacking in the bonus features that were promoted on the DVD release to drive sales and format adoption? |

I just knew these comments were going to happen as soon as I saw the info on DVDActive....

Re: friday the 13th remake unrated dvd
I've just come across the news over at DVDactive.com concerning the Friday The 13th (2009) DVD release and i must say i am pretty pissed off as well. Standard DVD buyers should be getting both editions on either one disc or two discs. Why should we only receive the "unrated" version if it's supposedly a whole different movie? If it does somehow still contain all the scenes in the theatrical version then i'm happy but if it doesn't and it's completely different then i have to buy both rated and unrated versions. I was really expecting to have both versions on the same disc.
:wtf: |
Re: friday the 13th remake unrated dvd
I can't wait to buy the DVD! I don't care about not having the theatrical version with the extended cut because I wasn't ever gonna watch the theatrical version anyway
|
Re: friday the 13th remake unrated dvd
Again, I'd say the plan was probably inititally to include both, perhaps in a 2-disc set, but the film dropped 80% in its second weekend, so while it was a hit, it was an extremely flash-in-the-pan kind of hit.

try to milk the dvd release for all they can! usually these titles tend to do well on dvd, so they really could have brought out a nice set! i guess like one previous poster said, these warner guys are just lazy to bring out good sets. i mean just look at the dark knight extras!! one of the highest grossing pictures ever and what have they released on dvd!!?? |

if you look for example at fox`s taken dvd release they are having a barbones single disc and a two disc with seamless branching and the same content as the bluray! so they, unlike those morons at warner are very well capable! with a big title like f13, the least they could have put out is a special edition dvd! Universal has also put some exclusive bonus content on their BDs....Role Models had "over 15 Blu-ray exclusive deleted scenes & alternate takes" for example.... Disney has put exclusive bonus content on theirs as well, including the recent "platinum" edition of Pinocchio.... What about the new BD of Star Trek TOS: S1 that is coming out in another 10 days from Paramount? It is going to have some exclusive content too... Trust me, this is in no way defending Warner, their lack of full on lossless audio support in the past still has them on my shit list, though they are slowly working their way off of it the longer time goes by since a lossy release...just wanted to point out that Warner is not the ONLY studio doing this.... |
