Searching for Elwood

The Ice Storm Criterion DVD is now available to order at amazon.com. For the grand price of $27.99. It ships 18th of March, 2008. You might be able to find it cheaper somewhere else.

The original DVD version is also still available at about $10.

I should have been just a little bit more patient.



The Criterion Ice Storm DVD is now announced. It's not up at Amazon yet but it will be (and I think it will be a couple of dollars cheaper).

( More tantalising details... )

I'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.
