And where's the damn Special Ultimate Collector's Edition DVD?????????
On BluRay, of course. With two extra TV monitors included, to simulate the Polyvisionic experience.

Do blind people dream in black and black?
Isn't Coppola sitting ontop of the rights to this thing? He's been lying about releasing it for years.
"Rape is no laughing matter. Unless you're raping a clown."
I don't know about lying, but yes, I understand he does hold the American release rights to the version released in the early '80s. The way I heard it, he wants to release Napoleon with his father Carmine's score, and others want the Carl Davis score.
Meanwhile, Brownlow has made more, fuller reconstructions in the intervening years that have no Carmine Coppola score, and Francis wants a piece of that release, too. It's all very complicated and proprietory.
Too bad this business is such a Business!

Are there plans for a release, though? Last I heard they were gearing for 2005, but then things got scrapped.

My guess is that it's currently too legally complicated. I'd be more than willing to ask FF Coppola and Kevin Brownlow personally, if I had their e-mail addresses!
