Titanic (Special Collector's Edition) (3-Disc Set) (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000ANVQAA/ref=ase_pinoydvd-20)
List Price: $29.99
Amazon Price: $19.49 (35% off)
DVD Release Date: October 25, 2005
Number of discs: 3


here's what i read from the rumor mill of digitalbits.com

A few weeks ago, we mentioned the possibility that Paramount was going to be releasing a new special collector's edition of James Cameron's Titanic in 2005. We have a little bit of new information. The DVD production work on the title will be handled by 20th Century Fox. Word has leaked out of Fox's European operation that the title is expected to be a 4-disc edition, tentatively set for release in the Summer of 2005. This seems to confirm what we've heard from our industry sources - specifically that the studio was considering a 4-disc presentation. However, from what we've heard, production has not yet officially begun on the title (or is only just starting to happen). NOTHING is set in stone about this release yet, and our sources are telling us that a late 2005 (4th Qtr) release at the earliest is more likely. So don't start counting your chickens yet, but if you're a fan, be comforted in knowing that a better DVD version of the film is finally on the radar in a more substantial way.

Stay tuned...

Post by: hemisphere on Nov 06, 2004 at 03:52 PM
this is to verify that the previous digitalbits post refers to the European Release of Titanic.


more news:



According to Italian home theater magazine AF Digitale, 20th Century Fox may be in the process of finally releasing the long-awaited Titanic: Special Edition in early 2005. Details are still a bit sketchy, but the magazine reports that the film will receive a mega four-disc set featuring a new DTS ES 6.1 audio track. Of the extras, expect commentaries, deleted footage and mountains of other bonus material. Keep in mind that nothing official has been announced yet. But the fact that it is being reported by a major European publication is good news. My only hesitation is the "early 2005" timeframe. A DVD project of this magnitude would take a good amount of time and planning. For an early 2005 release date, this thing must be in production already, or even nearing completion. So if it has been in production for some time, why haven't we heard rumblings about it until now?

We've got some BIG DVD news for you today. Paramount is holding a special event next week to announce the fall DVD release of the Titanic: The Definitive Special Edition. We expect to have all the details on Tuesday afternoon, but as we've reported in The Rumor Mill recently, our sources tell us to expect a 2-disc and 4-disc set, patterned after New Lines Lord of the Rings DVD releases. The 4-disc will have the film spread over 2 discs for maximum anamorphic widescreen video quality, along with deleted scenes, literally hours of behind-the-scenes material, audio commentary and much more. Stay tuned on this!

from DVD Times:

Titanic Special Edition Worldwide release in October
Paramount Home Entertainment and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment International have announced the Worldwide DVD release of Titanic in two new DVD editions for October 2005. In collaboration with director James Cameron Titanic will be available as both a 2-disc Special Edition and 4-Disc Collector's Edition, each filled with bonus features.

The two-disc special edition will include a branching feature, enabling fans to view a wide selection of never-before-seen footage. The four-disc collector’s edition will be the ultimate for film and DVD enthusiasts – containing numerous deleted scenes, new in-depth documentaries that explore the odyssey of the making of the film and much more. Titanic will be presented in a brand new high definition transfer, 16x9 anamorphic edition, with 6.1 Dolby Digital Audio offering the highest level of picture and sound quality on DVD.

James Cameron commented: “The three year process of making TITANIC seemed at times as arduous as the building of the original ship itself. Until recently, I wasn’t really ready to dive back into it all and re-live the conflicts, disappointments, tough choices and, ultimately, the film’s crazy, unexpected success. This special edition is more than just the hour or so of unseen footage we’re including…we’re taking fans on an untold journey, one which could have ended just as disastrously as Titanic’s maiden voyage, and often seemed as if it would.”

“We’re very excited about the definitive TITANIC DVD that is certain to fulfill fans insatiable desire for the film,” said Rob Friedman, COO of Paramount Pictures and Vice Chairman of the Paramount Motion Picture Group. “The wealth of material that the collector’s edition will have available is truly representative of the scope and depth of this movie phenomenon and we believe it will drive audiences everywhere to return to TITANIC.”

“When TITANIC debuted in theaters, the film captured the attention of the world and has since become an unforgettable part of popular culture,” Jim Gianopulos, Chairman of Fox Filmed Entertainment, said. “It is a privilege to once again be working with James Cameron and our partners at Paramount to launch the next course of TITANIC’S journey.”

Paramount and 20th Century Fox announced its release date on October 2005! As for the exact date, it is yet to be announced. Although there would be a simultaneous release in the US and worldwide. Further details about the DVD are as follows:

1. Two releases of the DVD: 2-Disc Edition which has the "Director's Cut" of the movie and a 4-Disc Edition which had the identical 2-Disc Movie Edition and all the extras.

2. Like the LOTR Extended Edition, the film will be split into two for the highest possible video definition and audio quality.

3. The movie will be presented in anamorphic widescreen- the way it was intended to be seen!

4. It will include multiple audio commentary: from Cameron himself, the casts, and the crew.

5. The DVD will include 58 minutes of deleted scenes that won't be included back in the film. Instead, one would be able to know that a scene has been deleted via the icon that would appear on screen. One would have the option to jump out of the movie and see the deleted scenes.

6. The deleted scenes have an optional commentary from Cameron explaining why they were taken out.

7. The footages will not be shown in their raw aspect. They would have the same quality as that of the film itself.

8. The extra features would include almost 400 hours of behind-the-scenes footages.

9. There would be a newly-produced definitive feature-length documentary that would discuss the film from its conception till the end.

10. Interviews from the cast will also be included.

When asked why it took so long for this DVD, Cameron said that the released DVD is still sells well and that people who were involved in the film needed a long rest before they could revisit the work again.

I read somewhere on a column from Digital Bits that the R1 3-Disc Special Edition is the counterpart of the R2 2-Disc Special Edition and that the R1 4-Disc Deluxe Edition has not been announced yet and it's cover art not yet known...

If this will be the case, then I guess the R1 Special Edition would be better than the R2 version...

Anyway, whatever release they may be, I'd still stick to R1...

i've read this also but i highly doubt it (this is also the growing consensus at the dvdanswers.com) 8).....it's been about 10 days already after this "controversy" came out but until now no clarification yet has been made by paramount, what's the real score kaya ::)

here's the latest from digitalbits:


"Let's start with Titanic, shall we? According to a new story at Home Media Retailing, Titanic  will ONLY be released in a 3-disc DVD version. The original plan had been to release the film in 2-disc and 4-disc configurations, but the magazine is reporting that it was later decided (by Paramount and Fox presumably) simply to release a single 3-disc edition (presumably in all regions). Titanic  will reportedly include a branching option that allows you to view deleted footage in the place it would have been included in the film (in lieu of an actual extended edition of the film). By the way, there are reports of 4-disc releases of the film in some places, but we're hearing that this is simply the 3-disc DVD set, plus the soundtrack CD. We're waiting for official confirmation from both Paramount and Fox, so stay tuned."

Post by: hemisphere on Sep 06, 2005 at 10:37 PM
Well... we've received an official update from Paramount and 20th Century Fox with details about the forthcoming special edition DVD re-issue of Titanic, set for release on 10/25 in the U.S. (with international release dates to follow). Some of you will be happy, while others will likely be less so. We've confirmed now that there will be THREE different DVD versions available... but not to everyone. All three versions will include anamorphic widescreen video mastered from a new high-definition transfer, along with both Dolby Digital 5.1 EX and DTS 6.1 ES audio options. Here's the breakdown of the three versions, along with specific details on the extras set to be included with each:

The Titanic: 2-Disc Special Edition will be available in Europe, Australia and Latin America (from 20th Century Fox). This set will include the film itself, along with a 9-minute alternate ending, some 50 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage and featurettes accessible via a branched viewing option during the film, and 3 newly-recorded audio commentary tracks featuring director James Cameron, members of the cast and crew, and historians talking about the actual events.

The Titanic: 3-Disc Special Collector's Edition will be available in the U.S., Japan and Korea (from Paramount in the U.S. and 20th Century Fox elsewhere). It will include the film itself and ALL of the 2-Disc Special Edition's bonus features, along with over 45 minutes of "newly-finished" deleted scenes (complete with final, feature-quality visual effects), several production and special effects featurettes looking at various aspects of the making of the film, and the complete 43-minute Titanic: Breaking New Ground TV special on the making of the film.

Finally, the Titanic: 4-Disc Deluxe Collector's Edition will be available in Europe, Australia and Latin America (from 20th Century Fox). It will include the film itself and ALL of the extras in the 2-Disc Special Edition and 3-Disc Special Collector's Edition, along with HBO's First Look special on the making of the film (entitled Titanic: The Heart of the Ocean), 3 short Titanic parodies and a gallery of trailers for the film (including some never before seen).

Unfortunately, we're very sorry to say that Ed Marsh's highly-anticipated, feature-length documentary on the making of the film, which was announced at Paramount and Fox's original press event for the DVD release, will NOT be included on any version. This is unofficial, but we've learned from our sources that it was apparently killed by none other than Cameron himself. We can only presume that some of it at least will survive in the form of the behind-the-scenes featurettes now confirmed for the 3 and 4-disc sets, but the exact number of (and details about) these featurettes is unfortunately still to be announced. There's also no confirmation yet on whether Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio have recorded audio commentary for the DVD release (although at the time of the original press conference, both had reportedly expressed a willingness to participate if their scheduled permitted). We SUSPECT (but this is not official) that this means either or both are still yet to be recorded (our experience is that when such details are left out of official announcements, it's generally because they're still up in the air).

brod, you're probably correct on their runtime: while r1 has 194 mins., r2 has only 189 mins. or a difference of about 5 mins., BUT i woudn't mind about it (sobrang haba na nga ng movie na to eh ;D) & would still go for the r2 primarily because of the 4th disc & maybe (just maybe) because of the absence of JC's pic on the front cover art...... 8)

i think PAL videos run much slower (or faster) than NTSC's. Both cuts of the film may be the same, but the running time isn't. I have a R2 copy of Spider-Man and a R3 copy. Both DVD's were not cut, but the R3's running time is 121 mins while the R2 copy runs 116 mins.

didn't know if i explained this properly. could anyone please elaborate?

Post by: edboy7 on Sep 09, 2005 at 08:52 PM
PAL runs faster vp_ortiz ;) 25fps against 30fps(framespersecond) for NTSC its about 4% shorter, that explains 121 mins for R1 and 116 for R2...your Spidey is complete ;D ....and IMHO TITANIC R1 and R2 are very much the  same baka sa end credits lang nagkaiba :)
Classicman, JC's pic is out on the R2 4 disc nga ...wise move ;D

thanks for this technical explanation sir edboy7, no wonder almost all r2 releases have shorter running time than their r1 counterparts......& its very comforting to know your confirmation that JC's pic is out of the r2 cover ;D ;D ;D

here's the specs of the 4-disc deluxe CE as posted at dvdanswers, those highlighted in red are the contents of the 4th disc (w/c will not be included in the r1 release):

# Four-Disc Deluxe Collector's Edition
# Includes the 2-disc Special Edition plus more than three hours of never-before-seen material:
# Over 45 Minutes of New Deleted Footage: Jack fighting for his life, the passionate kiss you never saw, and Jack and Rose in their final moments together, this is just a sampling of over 45 minutes of new deleted scenes made available for the first time. Each scene is state of the art, with the effects finished to match the special effects in the theatrical feature
# Production and Special Effects Featurettes: with this selection of featurettes, take an insiders look at James Cameron in action. Get a better understanding of what goes on behind-the-scenes of a major movie production.  Experience the building of the “TITANIC” studio and film set from the ground up. Dissect scenes.  Dive to the wreckage of the actual ship. View the film crew’s personal video footage and much more
# 'Breaking New Ground': this TV special shows that there is much more to TITANIC than you ever imagined. Watch the monumental efforts that went into creating this film, beginning with building a studio just for the production of TITANIC through to its changing of industry standards, and breaking industry records
# 'The Heart of the Ocean':  HBO’s First Look TV special takes a look at TITANIC before it became the largest floating vessel of the worldwide box-office that we know today
# Three TITANIC Parodies: watch as the biggest film of all-time is spoofed in these three pieces
# Trailers: a selection of trailers, including some never-before-aired or shown

not all of the copies have problem. only select dvds which in this case more than a quarter of total count of discs manufactured. who knows how many...

actually, with only one frame being allegedly damaged, it would be a challenging task to detect or even see it... unless you have a large format monitor which would show obvious discrepancy.

i am more bothered if i should get the R1 or R2 release---the latter having more extra features compared to R1.

Post by: hemisphere on Nov 05, 2005 at 03:43 PM
just wait and see what Paramount will announce as next steps. unfortunately, based on experience, studios do not respond positively for DVD exchange (even due to faulty manufacture) coming from the world outside the US. it happened so many times with my inquiries with studios.

but better push your luck and post for the development later.

from thedigitalbits:

 "To the best of our knowledge, ALL copies are affected by this error (we've check ours and have confirmed it's definitely there). It's a pretty minor issue in the grand scheme of things, but it's enough for home theater-philes to be on about. So we're waiting to hear back from Paramount on this, to see what they have to say about it and if they plan to correct the problem."

i think, it's time you set your sights on the r2 version of this title w/c i did primarily because of the 4th disc...... 8)
