THEATRICAL CUT AND DIRECTOR'S CUT WILL EACH BE INCLUDED; DEC 1 RELEASE DATE
This morning, Wild Bunch tweeted the cover image for its upcoming box set Blu-ray and DVD release of Brian De Palma's Casualties Of War. "An edition that was long overdue ..." began the tweet. "OUTRAGES by Brian De Palma, in Cinema & Director's Cut Versions, will be available on December 1st on Blu-ray · DVD · Large format book. It's happeninnnnnng".
More details were provided by Cine Series' Pierre Siclier, here with the help of Google Translation:
A newly restored Master on DVD and Blu-rayReleased in a 113-minute cinema version, Casualties of War also received a 121-minute Director's cut version. These two versions will be combined in a collector's edition Blu-ray / DVD, which will be offered on December 1st by Wild Side.
In a press release, the publisher writes:
From Obsession to Carlito's Way, from Blow Out to The Untouchables ... Haunted by their past or driven by their integrity, the heroes of Palmiens denounce crimes that others would like to keep silent and come up against systems that crush. Brian De Palma will have had to persevere to transpose to the screen this appalling tale recounted as early as 1969 by journalist Daniel Lang.
The box set, in addition to bringing together the two versions of the film, will offer bonuses that promise to be exciting. Including a twenty-minute interview with Michael J. Fox and a making of that we will scrutinize with attention. As said above, the shooting was quite complicated, in particular because of the difficult relationship between the two main performers. Along with these video documents is added a large-format 200-page book illustrated with rare photos and archives. An object not to be missed.
