from www.thedigitalbits.com:

20th Century Fox has agreed to distribute Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ on DVD. There's no word yet on a street date, but you can bet it won't take too long to get the film out on disc, given the film's $26.6 million opening last wednesday.

Preorder from Amazon :

The Passion of the Christ (Widescreen Edition) $17.99 (40%), Aug 31.

I watched the movie already..have to go 1 hr before its showtime. weekends tickets are all sold out.guess,this is one of the best movie of the year..

Gibson’s Passion certainly isn’t for everyone. Christians should use it as a reminder of their faith, and capitalize on the need for discussion that such a film presents. It’s harsh but predominantly accurate, an unquestionable work of conviction that should outlast the controversy and trigger constructive dialogue for years to come.God help us.

PEACE!!!

On the Movie thread of this title i posted that as of 08 March, the movie already grossed more than $200M just in the US alone, making it potentially the biggest r-rated movie of all time.

That cover looks very familiar.

But I will still get the original DVD once this is released officially. A wonderful masterpiece definitely worth getting. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets nominated for some category in next year's Oscars. Just wondering if it qualifies for the best foreign language film. Or maybe the Acedemy could create a new category for best dead language film.

Just kidding for a change. (The other thread really is getting too serious. I think mostly because of me, he he

)

It's showing 24 hours a day in the U.S. is that true?

My friends from Boston already saw it & their Parish priest is recommending it to watch.

And I don't think they have released it internationally yet, have they?

I can't wait for this one to be on dvd, this way magpapassion akong magisa when i view it.

dunforgiven · « **Reply #6 on:** Mar 10, 2004 at 09:25 AM »

I'm going to see it first in the theaters, nothing beats watching a movie on a large screen (visually that is, because some of the theaters have freakin' audio equipment). Then I'm gonna get the DVD.

Any idea on local/domestic release date?

av_phile1 · « **Reply #8 on:** Mar 10, 2004 at 09:49 AM »

I've created a thread on this subject for the R3 release. Hope it won't be long before an announcement is made for its local release.

I know. But they normally don't release the DVD until after the international theatrical release, right?

Hope they don't jack-up the admission prices like what they did for some much sought-after movies in the past.

hi,hello mga kabayan,bago lang ako dito,ako si obet
gusto ko magtanong kung sino ang may alam na,may
na release na dvd format ang the passion of the christ
at kung kailan,thank you :)

BaD_BURN · « **Reply #21 on:** Apr 05, 2004 at 08:33 PM »

I know there isnt much info yet on the disc (I doubt if production or planning has even started) but it would be interesting if it's going to have subtitles. I mean, subtitles on a movie with subtitles 'burned' permanently on film.

Also, the audio: I wonder what the options would be. Would there be like an English track? Doubtful, considering that when they do plan on putting in one it will definitely kill the essence that made the film special. Ano kayang lalabas sa audio options? ARAMAIC : 2 channel/5.1 channel AC3 audio or ARAMAIC : 5.1 DTS Surround Sound?

Guess we'll have to wait and see.

20th Century Fox announced that the R1 version of The Passion of the Christ will be released on August 31, 2004. According to Digital Bits, looks like this release will have very few extras (if any) and "a more elaborate special edition release is in the works, for a possible Easter 2005 release". ...

Mabuti naman at sinasabi kaagad nila na magkakaroon ng dalawang release para hindi natin masabi that they are forcing us to make a "double dip". Siguro Ash Wednesday 2005 lalabas ang Special Edition.

Sa 2nd release na lang siguro ako for 2 reasons:

1. Syempre mas OK kung may Special Features.
2. Mas OK panoorin ito sa lenten season.

from www.thedigitalbits.com:

20th Century Fox has revealed that they'll be releasing Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ on DVD on 8/31 (SRP $29.98). There will be few (if any) extras, so that the maximum video bit rate can be achieved for the film presentation. The disc will include both anamorphic widescreen and full frame versions, as well as audio in the original Aramaic/Latin in both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 surround (with English and Spanish subs). Sources are telling us that a more elaborate special edition release is in the works, for a possible Easter 2005 release.
