Hi, Ady. Must admit to being a little late to the EP IV "REVISITED" project but once I found it I was Impressed. Great work.

Monari said:

The same thing goes with Boba's voice. Lucas could have gone wild and redubbed all of the Stormtrooper's voices, but he didn't. Boba's voice being redubbed ties back to Ep2 and reminds us of Jango and the entire reason why the Empire is in power in the first place. Again, there is that connection to the PT tying the Saga together. I'd hate to see it go.

Why do we need his voice to be exactly the sames as Jango's?
His name is Boba Fett, he wears body armour simaler to Jango Fett's and flys a ship like the Ep2 bounty hunter who had a son called Boba. What more do you need to tie it into Ep2?

Accents aren't genetic. They're nurture not nature. How many people here speak with the same voice as their parents? The Clone troopers from Ep3 shouldn't all have the same voice so why should Boba?

Anyway, that's my little rant over and done with :)

Edit: I also don't like how the show went from super serious (with the occasional dark comedy) in the early seasons to the actors smirking and cracking jokes every five seconds in the later seasons.

Blame Fox for this, not Chris Carter. X-Files was originally suppose to run for 5 seasons. Carter had a 5 year plan. At the end of it, he wanted to stop. Fox told him that the show had to continue. So for 3 more long grueling years, crappy episodes were churned out. Just watch the series. It becomes painfully obvious in Season 6 that something has changed. Maybe those are the loose threads that sky was referring to. I certainly wouldn't call them loose threads though. I'd just call them bad episodes

I don't believe Carter had any plan whatsoever. At least not until Frank Spotnitz joined the show.
I got so bored of the series in the end. They kept on introducing new storylines without ever explaining what had happend before.

Having said that, the trailer is very interesting and this movie may revitalise the franchise.

I could swear blind the exchange between Lando and Wedge went like this as they come in on the reactor:
"t-targets too big. My proton torpedoes won't even dent that!"
"Go for the power regulator on the north side. We're carrying concussion missiles. They should be enough
to take out the main reactor"
"roger etc..."

I saw it when in first came out in cinemas in Canada summer '83. Anybody else remember that or am I the victim of a self
induced Jedi mind trick? concussion missiles would later make appearances in the various Lucasarts video games. X-wing for a start.

Mac, I had the same annual as a kid. Saddly, it's been lost to the ages of time and all the junk I've collected over the years.

It was just a copy of the Marvel comic adaptation of the movie. I'm sure the concussion missile quote comes from that and wasn't included in any version of the movie. (If I'm wrong feel free to corect me.)

More importantly, I've just checked my copy of the novelization. The quote is almost word for word from that.

"It's too big, Gold Leader, My proton torpedoes won't even dent that"
"Go for the power regulator on the north tower, I'll take the main reactor. We're carrying concussion missiles-they should penetrate. Once I let them go, we won't have much time to get out of here, though"

Anyway, back on topic.

Great work JD. Looking great so far. Can't wait to add this to my collection.

Agreed.

If done right, a live action version of Akira would be brillant.
Basing it on the origonal Manga is definatly a plus point but what's with this New Manhatten crap.
Set it in Neo Tokyo like it's meant to be.

I'll reserve judgement for now but like they always say:

"I've got a bad feeling about this."

Did anyone have any luck tracking down a recording of ROTJ off ITV in the 80's?
I've spent the last month searching the house for my old video tape of this but havn't been able to find it.

The 1st time I saw ROTJ was on rental VHS and I remember the dodgy panned and scanned subtitles on that so my question is...
Does the 1986 PAL VHS release of Jedi feature the original theatrical subtitles?

As JD said in the 1st post on page 4 of this thread, the 70mm print of ROTJ used the "Main Title" from "Empire" but no one knows why.

Returning to Jedi features several alternate audio takes used in The Story of ROTJ album but my guess is these DON'T come from the 70mm print and originated with The Story of album.

P.S. is anyone able to provide a scan of the Film Score Monthly magazine article JD mentions, as I would be interested in reading this article.

I must admit that my expectations for the new Star Trek movie are prety low but these pictures have raised them slightly.

It appears to be a copy of the Constitution-class Enterpise (the refit version I think) with a design that reminds me of the NX-01 Enterprise.
(if that makes any sense)

I like it too.

The in theater recording of ANH is one of the greatest finds ever. It's just a shame LFL won't give us a high quality copy using the origonal masters.

The 70mm print of TESB had slight visual diffrences though, so if an audio recording of it did pop up, it wouldn't be the final word on the topic.

Some time ago in this thread, JD mentions the Jan/Feb 1997 issue of Movie Score magazine that lists all the differences in the 70mm version along with an interview with Michael Matessino. I was wondering if anyone would be able to upload a scan of that article anywhere as I would be interested in reading the entire article.

The odds of tracking down a 70mm print of the film or either an in theater recording are very slim so this seems to be our best source for a list of differences and is a lot more reliable than the Wikipedia article.

Thanks for the sneak preview JD.

Looking great already, can't wait to see everything when it's finished.

That is a BIG teaser of what's to come though.

Well, I've been waiting now for 2 weeks to see if Rewind would update there comparison to include The Final Cut along with the Blu-ray & HD-DVD releases, but no luck yet. I guess they're waiting for the US release before updating.

I did check DVD Beaver and found out that the standard DVD is Region 1, 2, 3, 4 encoded.

I finaly decided to type "is the blu-ray release of blade runner region free" into my search engine and found this site and this site that reports the US release to be region free but couldn't find any source to back this up other than the fact that Warner's usualy release Blu-ray's as region free.

I will more than likely take the plunge and order myself the 5-disc US Blu-ray release in the coming days but if anyone can confirm if it is definatly region free for me when it's released this week, it might just save me some hastle.

Thanks.

According to the excellent Future Noir - The Making of Blade Runner (a highly recomended book by the way) the running times are as follows-

Workprint - 113 min.
Theatrical Cut - 117 min.
Directors Cut - 116 min.

I don't know how long the Final Cut is though.

Both blu-ray and HD-DVD releases in the UK are the 2-disc editions containing The Final Cut and the Dangerous Days doc. only.

Which prety much sucks!

I only say about the US blu-ray release being region-free because some releases (The Terminator and Terminator 2 most notably) have been region-free despite the packaging saying it's Region A only.

As I say, I can make do with the standard DVD if it's not, but why should I?

Hi all.

Firt of all, I've been a long time lurker here at OT.com and I'm amazed at just how much I've learned about Star Wars this past year from just visiting the site.

Secondly and more on topic, having recently got a PS3 I was looking forward to making Blade Runner my 1st blu-ray movie purchase. Sadly, here in the UK they're only releasing the 2-disc edition on blu-ray. The 5-disc edition with everything will only be released on DVD.

I hope (although it's very doubtful) that the 5-disc blu-ray released in the US will be a region-free disc otherwise I'll have to settle for the regular DVD upscaled to HD.

This seems to be a very stupid move (some might say Lucus-like) and will more than likely impact sales of the blu-ray release over here.

Now I know that it's not released in the States for another 2 weeks but if anyone could let me know...
1) if the 5-disc version is region-free or Region A.
2) if all 5 versions of the movie have been given a HD transfer or just the Final Cut.

I'd appreciate any help with this, thank you.

Hi, Arnie.

Hate to be a pain, but if you could PM me the link I'd really appreciate it.

Anyone know if there's scans of the ESB and ROTJ sets floating around anywhere?
