| Posted By: David E. Grimes Posted On: Jan 17, 2007 Views: 1466 | DVD??? Why has this never been released on a DVD? Are there any plans to release it in this format? |
| Posted By: Martin Todd Posted On: Apr 20, 2007 Views: 1424 | RE: DVD??? I totally agree - I can't believe that this masterpiece isn't available on DVD yet. Surely, DVD is the natural medium for a film as visually stunning as this. |
| Posted By: Paul Posted On: Aug 23, 2007 Views: 1357 | RE: DVD??? That's right, this film and the more recent "Baby of Macon" both need to be released in DVD. I owned the laserdisk of Prospero years ago and can't abide watching it on VHS. If anyone knows the director or distributor this can be arranged pretty simply. I used to run a post production facility here in Santa Monica and can get the work done at a good rate (standard is $800-$1,000/minute for a transfer). Add another $10,000 to author the DVD and get it packaged and I'm sure we could sell them out (5,000 discs @ $30 ea. = $150,000). Anybody game? |

| Posted By: Douglas Posted On: Dec 14, 2013 Views: 909 | RE: DVD??? A Blu-Ray release in the US and Canada is in order. There is an Australian DVD available that is excellent as part of a Greenaway collection. http://www.amazon.com/Greenaway-Collection-Draughtsmans-Contract-Prosper os/dp/B0044NGJWW/ref=pd_cp_mov_2 For US viewers, however, most will need to rip the DVD with HandBrake and watch from their computer and/or Apple TV. The bonus is that you get several Greenaway films as part of the package. This is much better than the rip-OFF DVD available in the US which is just a poor transfer from a VHS tape. |
