Se7en: Criterion Edition preservation set — Page 6

Sorry for posting here as well as in the Criterion topic, guess I should have found this one first.

Could anyone convert the commentary track from the first disc into MP3? I'd really love to hear it, but I wouldn't want to download four gigs just to get it. Also, the only place where I've seen it, Myspleen, has no seeders.

Anyone?

Any chance there is a live link still available?

Thanks

:)

Also looking for a link for this also. Already have Bram Stoker's: DRACULA LD to DVD conversion.

Hi all, I like DF's releases, they're really good, however I was looking into Se7en and was wondering, what exactly isn't on the 'Collector's Edition' DVD that's on the Criterion Laserdisc?

DF's Disc 2 contains: Dailies, TV Spots, Original Introduction with Commentary, Make-Up Video Essay with
Commentary, Production Design Video Essay with commentary, over 1000 photographs in a photo gallery,
original motion picture score (audio only) and an easter egg.

And this review site indicates: " It was a fabulous array of material, and the only things missing from New Line's Platinum Series two-DVD set are the make-up effects with commentary by Rob Bottin, the outtakes with Brad Pitt, the deleted artwork for posters, and a few other things (which Pitt and Fincher even mention in their commentary on this DVD release). And of course, the many commentaries — some short, some feature length — seem to be new." http://www.dvdjournal.com/reviews/s/seven2.shtml

What exactly are the "few other things" as it seems DF's Disc 2 has more stuff that's was on the 'Collector's Edition' DVD than wasn't. Can anyone elaborate? Thanks.

The only carry-over is the alternate opening, I believe. EVERYTHING else is new. That review is incorrect.

I beg to differ, does anyone have "Platinum Series" DVD and DF's Disc 2 and have compared already?

Is the difference like the main feature's commentary and the extras that have commentary, the commentary is different? I have found no descriptions that indicate the commentary for the extras is different between the LD and DVD.

Edit: I don't think the DVD is missing as much as is said/implied, but I dunno for sure, however see below. Either way, it doesn't include some  Rob Bottin stuff, which I want to see. 

Seems like the "Platinum Series" DVD contains the:

• Original Introduction with Commentary
• Production Design Video Essay with commentary
• over 1000 photographs in a photo gallery (Perhaps not all photos were brought over?)
• easter egg

What's missing from the "Platinum Series" DVD (which isn't that much) is:

• Dailies (And possibly some Outtakes?)
• TV Spots (Or is this included on the DVD?)
• Make-Up Video Essay with Commentary
• original motion picture score (audio only)
