The New World (US - DVD R1)
Warner sends over highres artwork for the new extended edition of the film
Title: The New World
Starring: Colin Farrell
Released: 14th October 2008
SRP: $19.97
Further Details:
Warner Home Video has announced an extended edition of The New World which stars Colin Farrell, Christian Bale and Christopher Plummer. The Terrence Malick directed film will be available to own from the 14th October, and should retail at around $19.97. The 172 minute cut will be presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen, along with English Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0 Surround tracks. The only extra material will be a comprehensive ten-part documentary which captures the unique challenges of creating the historic epic, and a digital copy of the film. We've attached the official package artwork below:



Quote: Powhatan tribal people stare in wonder as three ships approach shore. It’s a story every schoolchild knows; the story of Capt. John Smith (Colin Farrell), Pocahontas (Q’orianka Kilcher). Now, as told by filmmaker Terrence Malick (Badlands, Days of Heaven, The Thin Red Line) in this Extended Version with more than 30 minutes of footage unseen in theaters -- it’s a story you never imagined. Working in part from first-hand histories and adding his extraordinary sense of image and human drama, Malick crafts a visceral, spellbinding tale of the Jamestown settlement, of cultures connecting and of deadly consequences when connections fray. Christian Bale and Christopher Plummer also star.

It's a good film, but there's no way I'd go back and watch it more than once.
Of course, we're all still waiting for an extended cut of "The Thin Red Line"here, Fox. (Different studio, I know, but same director.)
Malick is one of my favorite directors of all time.The cinematography of his films is so beautiful and breath taking. Also the stories are also quite deep and entrancing. About time the Extended cut came out!!!Sold! One of my favorite film of 05 too.
I thought it was slow and uninspired. I had to tie myself up and pry my eyelids open to finish it. That's not fair, it wasn't that bad. Just boring. No need to lengthen the boredom for any unsuspecting souls who have never seen it.
How about a Blu-ray release, this movie screams for it. The scenery and locations were beautiful. Pretty good movie and im interested to see what has been added, but i'll wait for Blu.
I guess I'm one of the few who I love this movie and thus I'm anxious to see this extended cut. Good news.
I've heard that the theatrical version is actually superior to this longer cut (that is, if this is the original version Malick first screened before the trimming it down for the wide release.) Still, I'm intrigued. It just might be worth an upgrade.
30 more minutes of camera shots panning through the forest and natives swimming in creeks in slow-motion!!!
Im so excited!
Im so excited!
I wanted to see this movie when it came out, I never got around to buying the DVD so I will just pick this one up
The New World was so good, you know what was boring? The Narnia sequel and Pirates sequels. Malick has never made a bad movie and while I didn't think this was a masterpiece, the extended version should be worth a look.
I've added an advert with some artwork
If this isn't released on BD then I will be immensely disappointed. This is an amazing companion piece to The Thin Red Line. Malick is my second favorite director of all time (behind Leone). His films are visual masterpieces. If I were to rank his films on the emotional impact they had on me it would be.

I loved the flick, so I'm sold.
Why not a Blu release? Would have boughten it for sure.
Can't wait. This was announced 2 years ago and is finally coming out.
I hope this is a 2 disc set though, as I assume a "10 part documentary" won't be a fluff piece and considering the movie is 172 minutes...

Loved this movie. I might have to check this out.
I wish they would have used new artwork...and that Criterion released this, but I'm still completely sold. This is one of my favorite films of the 2000s, and Malick is a visionary genious.
Great Price,killer artwork and a fantastic movie.I guess I am double dipping.The docu sounds new too.
Really is this nesecary WB annouce The Matrix trilogy on blu ray alredy
One of my favorite movies ever. I've been hearing whispers of this cut since it came out, so it's really awesome to see it finally being released. For sure double dip.
Really fantastic film. I've been waiting for a new version of the flick since the first one was announced, but now that Blu-Ray is a standard, they simply MUST press an HD version.
I love this movie! But I get why a lot of people didn't. I will certainly be buying the extended cut though, I could watch this movie forever, I've never seen anything so beautiful.
I love the fact that they used the exclusive Best Buy art for the extended edition.
I saw this with a friend one day after school. It wasn't what I was expecting but I ended up liking it. The woman who plays Pocahontas (Q'orianka Kilcher) is stunning and Colin Farrell turns in a great performance. The script and directing were great too. I had never heard of Terrence Malick before watching this film and haven't seen any of his other films but after reading some comments I'm interested in checking out The Thin Red Line.
Oh wow- excellent news. I walked into this movie not knowing at all what to expect, and it completely blew me away. It's one of those movies that I could pop in the player, start it up at any point, and be completely transported.
That said- I'm excited about this, but also have reservations because the first cut was so good. I'll be picking this one up anyways, though.
Not crazy about the artwork. If they're going to go to the trouble of releasing an extended cut of a movie that's not exactly commercial fodder in the first place, why not go with something a little more... oh, Criterion-ish?

No thanks. The cinematography was gorgeous but the movie bored the piss out of me. There is no way I could watch and even LONGER version of this film.
HOLY C**P! The movie was longer?!?!? That is a terrible thing! This movie was terrible. I do not care how pretty the shooting was. If the movie is boring and not entertaining in the least, it is not a good movie. I bought this blind, watched it, then donated it to the local school history department. I hope they use it more than I did.
