ik vindt het artwork juist geweldig, vooral die van 2001, dit wordt een zekere aanschaf

[HAL]

Ik vraag me af of 2001 bijvoorbeeld, veel beter zal zijn dan de huidige uitgave. Ik ben bang dat het alleen maar een nieuw (lelijk) doosje is......

Qua beeld en geluid zal het denk niet spectaculair beter zijn denk ik. Ben vooral benieuwd naar de extra's.

About the Films

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

Stanley Kubrick’s dazzling, Academy Award-winning achievement (Special Visual Effects) is an allegorical puzzle on the evolution of man and a compelling drama of man vs. machine. Featuring a stunning meld of music and motion, the film was also Oscar® nominated for Best Director and Best Screenplay. Kubrick (who co-wrote the screenplay with Arthur C. Clarke) first visits the prehistoric age-ancestry past, then leaps millennia (via one of the most mind-blowing jump cuts ever) into colonized space, and ultimately whisks astronaut Bowman (Keir Dullea) into uncharted space, perhaps even into immortality.

DVD Special Features:

Disc One

· Commentary by Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood

· Theatrical trailer

Disc Two

· Channel 4 documentary: 2001: The Making of a Myth

· Standing on the Shoulders of Kubrick: The Legacy of 2001

A Clockwork Orange (1971)

Stomping, whopping, stealing, singing, tap-dancing, violating. Derby-topped hooligan Alex (Malcolm McDowell) has a good time – at the tragic expense of others. His journey from amoral punk to brainwashed proper citizen and back again forms the dynamic arc of Kubrick’s future-shock vision of Anthony Burgess’ novel. Controversial when first released, the film garnered three Academy Award nominations – Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay. Its power still entices, shocks and mesmerizes today.

DVD Special Features:

Disc One

· Commentary by Malcolm McDowell and historian Nick Redman

· Theatrical trailer

Disc Two

· Channel 4 documentary: Still Tickin’: The Return of Clockwork Orange

· New featurette: Great Bolshy Yarblockos! Making A Clockwork Orange

Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

Kubrick’s daring and controversial last film is a bracing psychosexual journey through a haunting dreamscape, a riveting suspense tale and a career milestone for stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Cruise plays a doctor who plunges into an erotic foray that threatens his marriage – and may ensnare him in a murder mystery – after his wife’s (Kidman) admission of sexual longings. As the story sweeps from doubt and fear to self-discovery and reconciliation, Kubrick orchestrates it with masterful flourishes. His graceful tracking shots, rich colors and startling images are some of the bravura traits that show Kubrick as a filmmaker for the ages.

DVD Special Features:

Disc One

· Scene specific commentary by Sydney Pollack and historian Peter Loewenberg

· Theatrical trailer and TV spots

Disc Two

· Channel 4 documentary: The Last Movie: Stanley Kubrick and Eyes Wide Shut

· Lost Kubrick: The Unfinished Films of Stanley Kubrick

· Subtitles: English, French, Spanish

Full Metal Jacket (1987)

A superb ensemble falls in for Stanley Kubrick’s brilliant saga about the Vietnam War and the dehumanizing process that turns people into trained killers. The scathing indictment of a film was nominated for an Academy Award® for Best Screenplay. Joker (Matthew Modine), Animal Mother (Adam Baldwin), Gomer (Vincent D’Onofrio), Eightball (Dorian Harewood) and Cowboy (Arliss Howard) are some of the Marine recruits experiencing boot-camp hell under the punishing command of the foul-mouthed Sergeant Hartman (R. Lee Ermy). The action is savage, the story unsparing, and the dialogue is spiked with scathing humor.

DVD Special Features:

· Commentary by Adam Baldwin, Vincent D’Onofrio, R. Lee Ermey and Jay Cocks

· New Featurette: Full Metal Jacket: Between Good and Evil

· Theatrical trailer

· Subtitles: English, French, Spanish

The Shining (1980)

From a script he co-adapted from the Stephen King novel, Kubrick melds vivid performances, menacing settings, dreamlike tracking shots and shock after shock into a milestone of the macabre. The Shining is the director’s epic tale of a man in a snowbound hotel descending into murderous delusions. In a signature role, Jack Nicholson (“Heeeere’s Johnny!”) stars as Jack Torrance, who’s come to the elegant, isolated Overlook Hotel as off-season caretaker with his wife (Shelley Duvall) and son (Danny Lloyd).

DVD Special Features:

Disc One

· Commentary by Garrett Brown and John Baxter

· Theatrical trailer

Disc Two

· Documentary The Making of the Shining, with optional commentary by Vivian Kubrick

· Three new featurettes: View from The Overlook: Crafting the Shining, The Visions of Stanley Kubrick, and Wendy Carlos, Composer

Stanley Kubrick – A Life in Pictures

Produced and directed by longtime Kubrick associate Jan Harlan, this full-length documentary includes footage and personal photographs made available by Christiane Kubrick, the director’s wife of more than 42 years. The film paints a surprisingly accessible portrait of Kubrick, giving a strikingly different view of the man and what influenced him as a filmmaker. Among the long list of actors, friends and colleagues paying tribute are Woody Allen, Sir Arthur C. Clarke, Shelley Duvall, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Christiane Kubrick, Paul Mazursky, Malcolm McDowell, Matthew Modine, Jack Nicholson, Alan Parker, Sydney Pollack, Richard Schickel, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Douglas Trumbull and Sir Peter Ustinov.

Redmond Barry is a young, roguish Irishman who's determined, in any way, to make a life for himself as a wealthy nobleman. Enlisting in the British Army, fighting in the Seven Years War in Europe, Barry deserts from the British army, joins the Prussian army, gets promoted to the rank of a spy, then becomes pupil to a Chevalier and con artist/gambler. Barry then lies, dupes, duels and seduces his way up the social ladder and enters into a lustful but loveless marriage to a wealthy countess named Lady Lyndon, takes the name of Barry Lyndon, settles in England with wealth and power beyond his wildest dreams, then slowly falls

Lolita (1962)

Humbert Humbert, a divorced British professor of French literature, travels to small-town America for a teaching position. He allows himself to be swept into a relationship with Charlotte Haze, his widowed and sexually famished landlady, whom he marries in order that he might pursue the woman's 14-year-old flirtatious daughter, Lolita, with whom he has fallen hopelessly in love, but whose affections shall be thwarted by a devious trickster named Clare Quilty.

[Lex v/d Moolen]

Ziet er geweldig uit. Dat wordt haast zeker weer een box aanschaf.

[Aerodynamisch]

Er zitten interessante extra's bij op de 2-discers. Wordt een verplichte aanschaf, tijd om de 1 discs te verkopen!

[TheGodfather]

Ziet er geweldig uit. Dat wordt haast zeker weer een box aanschaf.

Jup hier ook. Ben echt ontzettend benieuw naar de Unrated versie van Eyes Wide Shut.

[Richard B.]

Jup hier ook. Ben echt ontzettend benieuw naar de Unrated versie van Eyes Wide Shut.

De Amerikaanse versie was gecensureerd t.o.v. de Europese, dus zal dat dan niet gewoon de versie zijn die wij hier al gezien hebben?

[TheGodfather]

Ah dat zou best kunnen. Weet eerlijk gezegd niet hoe dat precies zit. Maar omdat we hier niet de langere versie van The Shining hebben ging ik er automatisch van uit dat de versie van Eyes Wide Shut die we hier nu hebben ook de gecensureerde versie was

ZO! Daar hebben ze wel hun best op gedaan!

[Antonio 'Tony' Montana]

weet iemand of deze films ook op Regio 2 uitkomen??

[TheGodfather]

Lelijk artwork voor de box. Erg jammer...

[Lex v/d Moolen]

Lelijk artwork voor de box. Erg jammer...

Dat had idd beter gekund, net als de keepcases zelf.
De box staat overigens al bij Pacific voor $54,14 in de pre order.

[Newboy]

Alleen een box voor de DVD's?

Ik wil een box voor Blu-ray!!

[TheGodfather]

Weet niet of dit al bekend was:


The Eyes Wide Shut Special Edition includes both the Rated and Unrated versions of the film, along with a scene specific commentary by Sydney Pollack and historian Peter Loewenberg, a Channel 4 The Last Movie: Stanley Kubrick and Eyes Wide Shut documentary, a Lost Kubrick: The Unfinished Films of Stanley Kubrick featurette, Kubrick’s 1998 DGA D.W Griffith Award acceptance speech, an interview gallery featuring Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, and Steven Spielberg, the theatrical trailer, and some TV spots.

Geweldig! allebei de versies

[BrianB]

Heel leuk deze nieuwe box, maar waarom zitten Lolita en Barry Lyndon er niet bij? Ok, Lolita was van MGM, maar 2001 ook, dus daarvan liggen de rechten toch ook gewoon bij Warner? Barry Lyndon was gewoon van Warner Bros. Dus daarvan snap ik het al helemaal niet. Erg jammer.

Volgens mij zijn de restauraties van die films (in ieder geval Barry Lyndon) niet ver genoeg gevorderd om er al een DVD van te maken. De oude releases komen wel opnieuw met een nieuw hoesje, maar ik denk niet dat Warner zich echt geliefd zou maken als ze die ook nog eens in de box zouden doen.

[Mathieu Ghekiere]

Ik vind persoonlijk het artwork van deze nieuwe versies ERG mooi, om eerlijk te zijn.
De box zelf vind ik qua uiterlijk niet zoo bijzonder, had beter gekund, maar de keepcases lijken mij erg stijlvol!

Zeer benieuwd naar de extra's, hopelijk komt deze box bij ons ook uit.
