Author Topic: Ed Wood is finally coming to DVD Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 11-05-2003 11:15 PM                     Buena Vista is set to release a new 2-disc special edition of "Ed Wood" early February, 2004. This DVD might be of interest to those who enjoy the camp value of what has been called "the worst movie ever made": Plan 9 from Outer Space. The film earned Martin Landau a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award. Landau did an awesome job playing Bella Lugosi, the actor most identified as Dracula in movie lore. Lugosi was to reprise his Dracula role in "Plan 9" but died early in the production. He was replaced, badly, by someone dressed as Dracula who crept around very cheap sets hiding his face with his cape. One of the cool things about "Ed Wood" is how it captured that very strange California culture of the cold war age.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 11-05-2003 11:17 PM                        IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!

Who can forget Gigli? It comes to DVD/VHS in the USA a lot sooner (12/9).  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-07-2003 07:40 PM                  Oh come on Bobby! You enjoyed Plan 9...admit it! It ***IS*** the greatest "worse" movie of all time!

Loved it. Not enough saw it in the theatre, though. I'm a big fan of Criswell. PLAN 9 is a great "bad" movie, but the worst movie ever by far is a Mexican children's film dubbed into terrible English called LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD. It was released in the '50's or '60's by K. Gordon Murray. I don't think it is available, as I heard that NAFTA renewed its Mexican copyright. Features the worst costume ever in a film for the wolf. Check out the wolf costume!  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-18-2003 11:52 PM                     I'll definatley be picking this up too!! I have it on Laserdisc and it actually looks really nice for that ole format. Didn't Martin Landau win an oscar for his role?? Mark  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 11-19-2003 12:13 AM                     Yep, Martin Landau did indeed win the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in the film. However, many people forget that accolade. Perhaps one reason why is some doofus running the TV broadcast of the Academy Awards that year went to commercial during Landau's acceptance speech. I hope one "extra" on the Ed Wood DVD is what Landau would have said for his acceptance speech had the go-to-commercial music not stomped on it.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 10-19-2004 05:19 PM                     It's finally been released. But it's a single disc Special Edition, like region 2. It's Bonus Features include: Deleted Scenes Behind-The-Feature Featurette:"Let's Shoot This F#*%@r!," "Making Bela: Featurette "Pie Plates Over Hollywood" featurette Featurette on the use of the theremin to create music for the Movie. And audio commentary with Tim Burton, Martin Landau, Scott Alexander etc... Music Video & Theatrical trailer and more!  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-25-2004 02:42 AM                        Didn't they have Ed Wood on DVD on the shelves once, & pulled it immediately? Did they change some content? Why did they have to pull it?  |  IP: Logged
