COLLECTOR'S EDITION DVD Release

[Flashframe777]

Yes.  And hopefully I will pick it up in NYC on that day, as my move there has been pushed back til that week.

[Ellemeno]

No.  Everything that they put on it I've seen already.  But I read an intriguing thread yesterday about secret codes that unlock features on DVD's that no one knows about

Go on...

Hopefully there will be some advertising for it on television.  I would love to see the dozy embrace get national exposure again.

Muwahahaha!  Me too!

Regarding deleted scenes - didn't Pierre Tremblay say that Ang only filmed two scenes that weren't used in the film?  There may have been different views of the same scene but I believe there are not many alternate scenes.

Good point, silk.  Here's the link to the interview.  Pierre answered it in Question #1.

In the interview, Pierre mentions 2 deleted scenes (from his description, probably the hippie scene and the scene showing the mechanics that briefly flashed in some previews). 

But he also says: "Two scenes that I would have liked to see more of were the rodeo sequence when Jack meets Lureen and the 4th of July scene.  ...I was in charge of directing background performers(extras) and we had arranged for some additional rodeo events..."

In other words, there are 2 deleted scenes — but more (possibly many more) scenes that were reduced or cut short. (Tent scene 2 immediately comes to mind.)  Wouldn't it be great to have that extra footage!

Yes....

Any extra footage of Ennis and Jack would be a Good Thing. I'd like to see more of the fishin' trip scene where Ennis brings the cans of Bettermost Beans.

And after, when Jack gives him a brand new rifle after Ennis brings him the beans, the moment only being shattered by Ennis' refusal to accept such an expensive gift.  Another disappointing moment for Jack.

Serious question--do we know if the business with the rifle was filmed? I think I remember reading script for it somewhere, but that's all I know. I presume the longer scene with the cans of beans was filmed because I've seen a still shot of it, and in the film, after we hear Jack telling Ennis, "You're late!" we can just hear Ennis say, "Look what I brung," or something close to it, and I'm sure he's talking about the cans of beans.

This pic has to be from yet another scene -- possibly when Cassie had "left word with Steve at the ranch" and someone was passing that word along to Ennis.
