Topic: Flash Gordon: Silver Anniversary Edition (R2-UK)

[hemisphere]

Momentum Pictures in the U.K. is preparing a Flash Gordon: Silver Anniversary Edition DVD... for release in the U.K.. We're trying to find out if this will also be released in the States and, if so, who will handle the distribution (we understand that there's some confusion as to who owns the U.S. release rights - we've got questions into Universal, so hopefully we'll know more soon). The DVD will street on 10/10 in the U.K., featuring anamorphic widescreen video, Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 audio, audio commentary by director Mike Hodges and an interview with him as well, a second audio commentary with actor Brian Blessed, a photo slideshow, the original Queen theatrical trailer, and the first episode of the original 1940s serial Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe.

 Whoa! I just put this title in the DVD wish list thread a few days ago. Hopefully, there will be an R1 para mas madali akong makakuha.

From DVD Times:

Momentum Pictures have announced the UK Region 2 DVD release of Flash Gordon (Silver Anniversary Edition) for 10th October 2005 priced at £19.99. Boxed in limited edition steelbook packaging, and featuring a host of extras exclusive to this release, the latest and best edition of this sci fi classic will be irresistible to film fans and DVD collectors both young and old alike. Retaining the adventurous spirit and striking visual style of the original 1930s comic strip, and featuring an unforgettable soundtrack performed by Queen, Mike Hodges’ FLASH GORDON has become synonymous with the hugely successful blockbusters Superman, Star Wars and Scanners. The breakthrough film for Timothy Dalton, and arguably the showcase for Brian Blessed’s most memorable role, FLASH GORDON also stars Sam Jones as Flash, Topol as Dr Hans Zarkov and Max Von Sydow as Emperor Ming, The Merciless.

Features include:
New DTS Audio & Dolby Digital 5.1
Original Queen Theatrical Trailer
Mike Hodges Audio Commentary
Mike Hodges Interview
Brian Blessed Audio Commentary
Photo Slideshow
Original 1940s Serial – Episode 1 of ‘Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe’
