I hope for your sake it does but I'd be surprised. In this case delays may not be a bad thing. More time may allow the additional scenes to be enhanced further, the restoration of the 20 minutes or so of other additional scenes mentioned by Scorcese and some interesting bonus features.Nominatrixx has uploaded all six blocks plus De Niro, Scorcese, Connelly, Taratino and Cool In Your Code clips:http://www.youtube.com/user/Nominatrixx?feature=watch
Just a guess but probably for the same reason that the new Blu-ray and DVDs are only being released in Italy at the present time. The Leone family have only acquired the Italian rights.
that's what I was afraid of.as soon as the restoration was announced, it said that the Leone family had acquired the Italian rights to the film, and I was unsure as to what implications that had for us in America.But I have to (or want to?) believe that eventually, the extended version will be shown in America and released on dvd/br.
I will definitely attend one of the upcoming screenings at the Film Forum http://filmforum.com/movies/more/sergio_leones_once_upon_a_time (although i will first try to call to make sure they are showing the new footage).I would like to go to one of the 7 PM showings between Monday-Thursday, I think cigar joe will be coming too; if anyone else is interested in joining, please reply here.
if its new footage I'd be tempted but my work schedule is in flux at the moment
