pics of upcoming warner boxsets (Casablanca 3-disc, 300 3-disc, JFK 3-disc etc.)...

[bubutthead]

all from digitalbits.com:

Apparently driven by the success of last year's Blade Runner and Harry Potter box sets, Warner has just revealed a number of new DVD and Blu-ray Disc box sets due later this year (both from Warner and also HBO). As it happens, we've got some early details for you, as well as an exclusive first look at the packaging and artwork for nearly all of them. Street dates and exact specs aren't yet available, but here's a sneak peek at some of what's planned for release in the fourth quarter of this year (official announcements will follow in the weeks ahead)...

First up is The Peanuts Holiday Collection on DVD, which will contain A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving: Deluxe Edition, A Charlie Brown Christmas: Deluxe Edition and It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown: Deluxe Edition, along with a CD of songs from the original soundtrack by Vince Guaraldi.

Next, The Clique is a film based on the bestselling book series by Lisi Harrison, and it's currently planned for release on both DVD and Blu-ray Disc.

HBO is releasing The Wire: The Complete Series as a 23-disc DVD box set, including all the previous extras along with a never-before-seen gag reel.

Now we get to the pictures...

We mentioned this the other day, but HBO's The Sopranos: The Complete Series will be a 33-disc DVD box set with special packaging and some 3.5 hours of all new bonus content exclusive to the set.

HBO's Deadwood: The Complete Series box set will feature 18 DVD discs, with all the previous extras, along with an exclusive bonus disc containing 2 hours worth of new material.

Also coming in time for the holidays from HBO, just as we anticipated, is the Band of Brothers mini-series on Blu-ray Disc. All of the previous DVD extras will be included, along with new bonus content exclusive to high-def. The new extras will include In the Words of Easy Company, a dynamic, optional picture-in-picture commentary by the surviving Easy Company veterans, and In the Field with the Men of Easy Company, an interactive field guide charting a path from the storming of the beaches on D-Day to the assault on Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest.

Next up, from Warner, is The Flintstones: The Complete Series, which will include all six seasons on DVD plus extras (24 discs in all) in special packaging with a lenticular hologram.

Batman: The Complete Animated Series on DVD will include all four seasons plus extras (16 discs) in special packaging along with new bonus material exclusive to this set (TBA).

On the live action front, just in time for the Presidential election, Warner will deliver a 3-disc JFK: Ultimate Collector's Edition on DVD, including special packaging, 3 hours of bonus content and collectible memorabilia, as well as an all new documentary, The Kennedy's: America's Emerald Kings. This title will also be available on Blu-ray Disc format in Digibook packaging.
http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o120/bubutthead/digitalbits6.jpg

A Casablanca: Ultimate Collector's Edition box set is also coming to both DVD and Blu-ray Disc. Both will include 40 minutes of new special features, 2 feature-length commentaries, branded travel-related premiums, a photo book, and much more.
http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o120/bubutthead/digitalbits7.jpg

As for more recent live action fare, an I Am Legend: Ultimate Collector's Edition box set will be available on both DVD and Blu-ray Disc, and will include an alternate version of the film with the "controversial ending," all-new special features such as a new filmmaker commentary, deleted scenes, "iconic" premium collectible items and more.
http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o120/bubutthead/digitalbits8.jpg

Also, a 300: Limited Collector's Edition box set will be available this fall on DVD only, as a special box set including all the previous DVD extras along with two new documentaries (Recreating the Spartan Era and 300: Legend Filtered Through History, Graphic Novel and Film), as well as other exclusive memorabilia (a lenticular hologram, artwork cards and more). The reason it's DVD only? The studio tells us that a much more elaborate Blu-ray Disc version is coming in 2009, complete with new BD-Live and Bonus View content.
http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o120/bubutthead/digitalbits9.jpg

Finally, the A Christmas Story: Ultimate Collector's Edition will soon be announced, set to include the previous 2-disc DVD special edition along with exclusive premiums only available in the set. We're waiting to hear if any new disc-based content will be included, but we do know that this will also be released on Blu-ray Disc format.

FYI, also on the way to stores this fall is HBO's Get Smart: The Complete Series and Warner's The Man from U.N.C.L.E.: The Complete Series (the latter has already been announced for release on 10/21). Both will be the same discs and packaging that were previously available exclusively online from TimeLife.

Again, all of these titles are expected to be officially announced in the next few weeks, so we'll post more specific details as they become available.


definates for me:
The Sopranos box set
Casablanca 3-disc
300 3-disc
I Am Legend 3-disc
the JFK set
possibly the deadwood set
so going broke this holdiay season

[Weapon X]

I seriously wish home video branches would adopt a "do it once, do it right" policy with DVD releases, but oh well...

The Batman: TAS set is a definite pickup. If the I Am Legend extras are worth it, I might ditch my old 2-disc steelbook. I'll skip 300; own it, love it, don't need to buy it again.

[Raimo69]

The batman TAS set is bad ass. I wish that turns out to be a blu-ray some how since i stopped buying regular dvd's

[pablo_super1!]

I am Legend and 300 sets are pretty cool.

Would love to have that Flinstones set.

[m_burlock]

The only one I'm gettin' is the 300 box. :)

[bdubprod]

300, Sopranos and maybe Casablanca for me

[APzombie]

its official. I'm never buying a single season DVD again. I have 2 seasons of the Wire, three of The Sopranos, on of Batman:tas one of Deadwood and i also have the 2-disc JFK, the 2-disc Casablanca and BoB.

I just buttfucked in the double dipping department.

i just know if i man up and buy the whole wire they'll announce a whole series blu-ray release....

oh well, its very cool anyway.

[Grn_Str_Movies]

OMG!:eek:


iM getting
I Am Legend
300
The Flinstones
Batman

how much do you think they will be priced at

[JohnLocke2342]

what a piece of shit blu-ray box set of band of brothers. That' just the original with a blue tape around it and a blu-ray logo sticker. Fuck that. I wouldn't be suprised if I opened it up and inside it was the standard dvds

[Piznarski]

Casablanca 3-disc is probably the only one I'm for sure buying. I like the Sopranos and have yet to buy any seasons, but the SRP is ridiculously high for me.

[bubutthead]

OMG!:eek:


iM getting
I Am Legend
300
The Flinstones
Batman

how much do you think they will be priced at

just looking back at the "Ultiamte versions" of bonnie and clyde, forbidden planet, rio bravo, the troy ultimate box set.......probably between $34-49.99 (for the film box sets)

the complete tv series will no doubt be higher, but you never know...

and to answer someone else, yeah the sopranos srp is pretty nuts, but (im hoping) bestbuy, circuit city, costco will hopfully have it for 249-300...or less hopefully

[NathanRomano]

Could I am Legend possibly have the directors cut?

[muttly69]

most likely. if not i will skip.

[Ram]

I'm so buying:

The Sopranos box set
300 3-disc
I Am Legend 3-disc

[Moviefan1234]

what a piece of shit blu-ray box set of band of brothers. That' just the original with a blue tape around it and a blu-ray logo sticker. Fuck that. I wouldn't be suprised if I opened it up and inside it was the standard dvds

The packaging was brilliant to begin with, and HBO knows that. Don't change something that works so well the first time. I'm so happy they kept the same packaging for the Blu-ray release.

[xseanymacx]

That Sopranos set is mighty tempting...

[the saw is family]

somebody just kill me now, few weeks ago i just bought all the seasons of the wire that are available. damn i should have waited.

[Moviefan1234]

somebody just kill me now, few weeks ago i just bought all the seasons of the wire that are available. damn i should have waited.

I'd hold off until the inevitable Blu-ray release if I were you. I suspect it'll be released a few months after the standard DVD's box set is out for purchasing. It'll save you from triple dipping.

[detective mills]

its official. I'm never buying a single season DVD again. I have 2 seasons of the Wire, three of The Sopranos, on of Batman:tas one of Deadwood and i also have the 2-disc JFK, the 2-disc Casablanca and BoB.

I just buttfucked in the double dipping department.

i just know if i man up and buy the whole wire they'll announce a whole series blu-ray release....

oh well, its very cool anyway.

HBO has said that a series boxset of The Wire will be released later this year.

[tylerdurden23]

getting JFK no doubt

[Dragula]

3 words baby, I Am Legend

[NathanRomano]

JFK
I Am Legend
Casablanca

[outsyder]

The JFK two disc is enough for me.

BUT I WANT BATMAN. Looks awesome.

[scottmushroom]

While all of those sets look really sweet, the only one I will probably buy is Batman. Deadwood and The Wire would have been tempting if I didn't already have the seasons. I am Legend and 300 would have been temping if I didn't already have a steelbook of IAL and a display box from Best Buy for 300.

[Pirate Mike]

Wow this shit is impressive! I just wish studios would do this shit right the first time. I spent more for the Best Buy 300 and as cool as this new set will be I won't be upgrading any time soon as much as I want to.

I already have 5 & 4 seasons of Sopranos & Flintstones I'd like them all in one big set but I just don't have that kind of money.

I could see me double dipping for JFK, that looks special.

[NuclearMisfit]

That Sopranos set looks mighty tasty!

[NathanRomano]

What's the price on these gonna be?

[detective mills]

What's the price on these gonna be?

The Sopranos box set is priced at $399.99, which I'm sure will be discounted by a decent amount when it's released.

[A.J. Hakari]

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o120/bubutthead/digitalbits10.jpg

It's...it's so beautiful...

[john_rambo]

Dunno which I will get but all of those look awesome.

[bigred760]

I already own editions of Casablanca and 300; though I might upgrade the first - my edition of Casablanca's getting a tad old.

And even though I've only seen one episode of "The Sopranos" (on a visit to my sister's), that set looks might tempting . . . maybe I'll ask for it for Christmas.

[Double-Oh-Zero]

Definitely getting the Christmas Story set, since I've been meaning to pick up the S.E for years, and the Batman one might be a nice way to revisit the series (haven't seen it since I was 7 or 8). Not sure if I like JFK or I Am Legend enough to shell out for those, but...

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o120/bubutthead/digitalbits7.jpg

...Holy Christ. Tempting, this is. Christmas gift, perhaps.

[bourahioro]

The Sopranos set looks awesome - but I wasn't a fan of the series for some reason.

Deadwood, however...Is MINE!!! That shit looks fucking awesome.

[MisterTwister]

300 and I am Legend sets look cool, too bad the films are shit.

BATMAN: TAS set is mine.

[DaMovieMan]

Wow...I was so close to buying the first two seasons of The Wire because they were discounted at 30$ on Amazon but I am happy i saw this now.

Definitely getting myself the Complete Series of that show for Christmas, hopefully it won't be ridiculous. I don't own Blu-ray dvd yet and with all the other gagdetry i need it doesn't look like i'll be getting one soon so there won't be any double dipping from me.

Everything else looks very nice, but all are passable. If i had the means i would fork out the cash for the other two HBO shows but ....no.

[pg13myass]

Batman The Animated Series set. That's all I want!!

And if I can afford anymore super sets, I'd go for Deadwood. Been really curious about it and heard lots of great things. And I love westerns. I'd like to give that show a blind buy.

[Donnie_Darko]

Glad I never snagged the 2 disk JFK, cause that 3 disk is tits! And the Blu-Ray BoB will kick ass. Best mini-series ever.

[Cronos]

I've already got Volume 1 of Batman TAS but I think I just might have to get that. Nice looking sets, might also get 300.

[Monzter]

batman
flintsones
JFK for me...

the i am legend is not worth seeing as th e steelbook already has the alternate ending....

[zzz179]

I Am Legend,jfk and 300 for me :Þ .

[MidnightAngel]

If i had enough money i would buy the 300 special edition boxset. C'mon Warner Bros. release a special edition boxset of Lethal Weapon in dvd and blu-ray!

[darknite125]

Casablanca, Christmas Story, Batman, and possibly JFK for me. I already have the 30 2 disc and there's not much in the way of special features so I doubt a third disc will make it better.

[bdubprod]

i wish they'd release a 300 extended edition...that would make the 3 disc set even better.

[joeyatog]

I'll definitely be picking up the Casablanca Blu-Ray set! That looks awesome!

Kinda pissed about the Batman: TAS set since I already have all the original DVDs. Maybe I can get my sister to buy them off me! =p

[Grn_Str_Movies]

Warner Home Video has announced The Flintstones The Complete Series for release on the 28th October. The 24-disc package will retail at around $129.72. All 166 episodes of the series will be included, plus over 4 and a half hours of bonus features. Topping it all off will be custom Bedrock-themed packaging. Stay tuned for further details. We've attached an advertisement containing the artwork below:



MUCH Cheaper Than I Taught It Would Be.

[scottmushroom]

Any word on a release date/cost for Batman?
