elijah_findsI've only just found an LA Times article from a few weeks ago about DVDs and DVD extras. It both confirms that The Ice Storm definitely is an upcoming Criterion DVD release and also that the extras might be of interest to us.
For the perfectionists at Criterion, which often puts out director-approved editions, access to filmmakers (or their estates) is seldom a problem. "We often work on projects that are so near and dear to people that the level of participation is incredible," said Criterion executive producer Kim Hendrickson. The upcoming Criterion release of Ang Lee's "The Ice Storm," for instance, will feature interviews with all the key cast and crew members.
Fingers crossed that Elijah is considered key cast. I'd like to hear what Elijah (and actually everybody involved) think about it. Whether it's interviews then or more modern.
I wasn't going to post anything about this until Criterion officially put The Ice Storm into their coming soon list with a release date. But I've been bouncing off the walls with excitement about this for weeks and weeks and cannot contain myself any longer. I don't think anybody has already put anything up about this? I'm hoping they will make the announcement either before or after Christmas with a release date sometime in March.
The above image was given as a clue to a future film that they were going to release from a newsletter. It was widely interpreted as being The Ice Storm. This was confirmed by a posting in their blog about the trouble they were taking to get the transfer correct (e.g. getting the original cinematographer back in to work on it).
And after that, there has been no more news.
For those that don't know, Criterion release very high quality DVDs, usually of arthouse or classic movies. They have the very best transfers and sound quality plus usually a good extras package (I'm hoping for Lee/Schamus commentary because they are usually very good together. Hopefully we will at least get Lee) and a little booklet. The only downsides are that Criterion DVDs are Region 1 only (e.g. those of us not in North American need a multi-region DVD player) and they tend to be a bit more expensive than a normal DVD release. E.g. probably $30-$40.
