Tema: Chicago (Rob Marshall, 2002)

Estoy seguro de que la editarán pronto aquí en España, parece que se están poniendo al día con muchas películas y esta que es muy conocida no creo que tarden.

Supuestamente remasterizada (falta le hacía) y con nuevos extras (creo que las primeras noticias hablaban de presentación en digibook, pero parece que no ha sido así).

De momento, la única reseña localizable es la de un comprador en Amazon:

you should know that there are two discs in the new package. One is a standard DVD and is virtually the same as the previous DVD release with a full length Director's Commentary and a featurette on going from the Broadway stage version to the film version. Plus there is one song that was deleted from the film. Heck that is a lot of bonus material....... But wait.



The other disc is a Blu ray which contains the gorgeous new "HD" print with even better sound. (Since, when I watched the original DVD of this film, it was on a standard-def TV I wasn't seeing much anyway. Now with my larger 42-inch HD screen it looks great. But that's not all. The package cover states that there are "Over two ours of NEW bonus material". I wasn't sure if this was a ploy - after all the film runs just under two hours - but they were right. The BD disc contains a new multi-part documentary that covers nearly all aspects of the film (casting, screenwriting, costuming, and auditions) and runs 2 hours and 20 minutes! The longest section is the 33-minute one on casting each major actor. All of them were recently interviewed as well as the creative team. Yes, there are obviously clips from the film to illustrate the comments but the interviews take up most of the time. I will warn you that this is a "love fest" and you will hear nary a negative comment. You will hear a lot of "he/she was PERFECT", "He/she is astounding" and "he/she is a remarkable singer/dancer/actor". It's almost too positive and the superlatives fly a bit too often. But you will certainly know more than you ever expected to about this film and Broadway musical fans will love every minute of it. But that's NOT all the "bonus material". Really! The BD has a slew of "extended musical numbers" and a few "rehearsals" too. If I counted correctly, there are nine of these, each running about 3- minutes except for the jail cell number which goes on for eight minutes. Because Director Rob Marshall often cut action into the musical numbers, we can now see them without interruption.

¡Ojalá tenga subtítulos en castellano!...

¡Ojalá tenga subtítulos en castellano!...

segun la ficha solo lleva sub en ingles y el audio en castellano huele a latino.

Pero es un poco raro que tenga doblaje en español pero no subtítulos, no?

Huele a español latino y sin subtítulos.... toca esperar, chic@s

Ver esta película editada en España va a ser dificil ya que tiene unos lios de derechos del carajo.

La estrenó Lauren Films como parte del acuerdo que tenia entonces con Miramax. Pero entre el estreno en cines y en DVD esta quebró. Universal entonces pillo los derechos para editarla en DVD, que le caducaron en 2006.

Ahora está en un limbo puesto que los derechos hasta 2022 siguen siendo de Lauren, pero claro, Lauren ya no existe, o lo hace de forma residual, pero esos derechos siguen ahí. Y la distribuidora de Miramax actualmente, Emon, no tiene los derechos de esta película (tampoco de Las Horas, mismo caso que esta).
