Oh, and it would also be great if there were released some special edition versions of Star Trek II-IX. The current releases only include trailers. Luckily, a Special Edition version of Star Trek II will be released in august, and a Collector´s Edition version of Star Trek III should be released just before XMAS.

Case: Double Keep-Case, The basic Climbing up the building picture they use for the poster will do for a cover.

Disc one:
Menues: I think it would be cool if the menues were in the formate of a comic page. Each panel could Have a John Romita Jr. drwing and each drawing would represent a different feature. For example the Commentary panel will have a picture of Sam Raimi talking into a microphone wile watching the movie. Then the last Pannel will say To Be Continued when this is pressed the page of the comic turns to reveal the next page of features.

I would like to see all of the Kurosawa films beefed up with a few extras. I would like to see an interview or two with Kurosawa on the films (you know they exist since they had interviews for the PBS special) and interviews with some of the film makers that he influenced. I know that isn't a lot, but that little bit would make them a lot better. Besides, they really couldn't do too much more since they are old movies.

Err. Just noticed the rest of your post. I believe a job of being a DVD producer is keeping it grounded. And to do so, you must first must know the rules and restrictions of the medium.

1. A single-layered, single sided DVD (AKA: DVD-5), can hold 121 minutes of video. Roughly 2 hours.

2. A dual-layered, single sided DVD (AKA: DVD-9) can hold 242 minutes. Roughly 4 hours.

Now, you can use these rules to calculate a double sided disc. Each side may have either one of these.

And so on, and so forth. You can ignore this stuff, though. These are our own fantasies and technology is always advancing.

I think this could be a very fun thread. I'll post something a bit later (may it be today, tomorrow...)

Well, there actually exists a Special Edition of 12 Monkeys (I know, because I own it) which includes a great audio commentary with director Terry Gilliam and producer Charles Roven. It also includes the best behind-the-scenes documentary I´ve ever seen, which is about 100 minutes long!!!

And SE´s of both BHD and Pulp Fiction are to be released within the next few months.

Thanks for the info on 12 Monkeys! I love that movie and have been waiting to buy it due to what I thought was a lack of extrtas. Apparently I was wrong (which is great).

I just recently found this board and I've already found out tons of great info. I wish I would have come here sooner.

BTW, I know Black Hawk Down and Pulp Fiction are coming out, that's why I said "I'm glad someone finally pulled their head out and made SE's of Black hawk Down and Pulp Fiction." I can't wait to get these two when they come out.

Titanic. Come on! You have to make a special edition of this! What is up with the crap theatrical trailer on it now? The largest grossing movie of all time, and you just put a measly trailer on it? Paramount, you are slowly coming closer to Warner Bros. as being the cheapest DVD makers.

For anyone who is interested, here is the alternate ending and different scene I spoke of (caution: spoilers) :

In the script, there is a change in the scene with the propane and an alternate ending. In the script, it is Burnham that gets burnt by the fire, not Junior. He pulls the tube out of the wall just in time, as the fire escapes and lights him on fire. Also, Raoul does not get his hand caught in the door when he enter the Panic Room. The script also has an alternate conclusion. It remains the same until after Meg Altman talks to the police. After this, she determines how far the Panic Room is from the window. She then takes the sledgehammer and sneaks out, where she is almost caught. She goes to the neighbor's house. The neighbor is an old lady. Meg goes to the wall in the lady's house and proceeds to break through it with the sledgehammer. Inside, Burnham and Raoul are removing the money. Burnham realizes what is happening, and panics. He reveals that the wall bordering the neighbor's house is not surrounded by steel, like the rest of the house, because "nobody breaks in through the neighbor's house". Eventually Meg breaks through, just as the criminals take the money. Meg tries to shoot, but Raoul stamps on her hand, making her drop the gun in the gap between the houses. Burnham leaves. Raoul pulls Meg in and tries to crush her head in the door. However, the laser always gets tripped, saving her. Sarah stabs Raoul with the needles in the back. He continues to try to murder Meg. Soon Meg becomes too tired to keep tripping the wire. Raoul hits the button to shut the door, but Burnham suddenly appears to save the day. He pulls Raoul off of Meg so she can escape. However, Raoul loses his balance and falls forward. He gets his head crushed in the Panic Room door. Burnham takes the money to leave, but the cops are already at the door, and they end up shooting Burnham to death.

The box would have the picture of the last image of the film, of flowers blooming against the backdrop of a busy Los Angeles street. This would be surrounded by black bars (a la widescreen on DVD) and at the bottom would be the title Adaptation. At the top it would say "Written by Charlie Kaufman and Donald Kaufman". Somewhere on the image, preferably in the lower right-hand corner, it would say "A Spike Jonze Film".

I know that the first 3 Lethal Weapons have a Director's Cut , but we need to get a entire Box Set w/ all 4 movies in a Director's cut , w/ better packaging for each movie ..

That would be nice ..

LETHAL WEAPON and the 3 movies that follow is a CLASSIC movie series .. What are these people thinking about , by not giving this set it's proper respect ..

Has anybody heard of anything pertaining to these movies ??

If it was a box, I would want Disc One to feature the picture of Charlie Kaufman sitting at the typewriter, Disc Two to feature the picture of Susan Orlean looking at her toes, and Disc 3 to feature the picture of John Laroche in the swamp. The box would have the picture of the last image of the film, of flowers blooming against the backdrop of a busy Los Angeles street. This would be surrounded by black bars (a la widescreen on DVD) and at the bottom would be the title Adaptation. At the top it would say "Written by Charlie Kaufman and Donald Kaufman". Somewhere on the image, preferably in the lower right-hand corner, it would say "A Spike Jonze Film". I thought about doing one, but yours is close to perfect. Disc two could be split into two sections, maybe "Behind Adaptation." and "Beyond Adaptation." In addition to what you have, "Beyond" would feature a documentary on Orchids tracing their lives and their roles in the worls, the trailer for Being John Malkovich. To cap things off nicely, the last piece would be "an Intimate Coversation with Donald Kaufman" which would reveal he's alive and well and the progress of some of his films. :)

Yeah, I really wish Columbia would get off it's ass and manufacture a decent special edition of this movie. There's so many neat things they could do involving McKee, Laroche, Orlean, and Kaufman. Plus there's the 3-hour cut of it that got edited down for theatrical release.
