wtf is the difference???

I personally liked the cross poster, but it's cool.  This is a must buy, for me.  There was only one better movie than this one (and this is my opinion of course) Citizen Kane...yes it is/was that good.

Not sure about that Blu cover at all. Waiting to see what the UK disc ends up with.

 Blu art's definitley the best. Not as good as my friend's cover depicted in my sig. :-D

worst artwork of the bunch... BD should have been the poster art like the single disc DVD.

pink fonts on the BD artwork? Ehhh anyways am glad to see this title on High Def, that Cinematography is gonna look stunning. The front cover is great too.

p.s Dolby TruHD? Count me in!

Gee, I wonder if were getting the BD in a retarded envelope like we did the standard ::rolls eyes::

Do anyone know if paramount is releasing BD regionfree?

I would say it would be weird if the coded them because the stood by HD-DVD

It has to be, since its not released by Touchstone, even though Miramax it the second founder of its production. The studio with the most rights is Paramount Vantage. So of course that BD cover art is false.

Good thing that now I won't have to pick up a much more expensive BD release from Germany, just gonna pick up the US BD!

Amazing Movie! I loved Daniel Day-Lewis, he did an excellent job in this movie. This is now my new favorite movie! The music was awesome, Very Suspenseful!

I just got the 2 disc DVD for There Will Be Blood and it is a must have. The packaging is made recycled material almost like parchment paper.

Two Disc which is the one I ordered. The Extras include 15 Minutes of pics, research, ETC., Trailers, Fishing sequence, Haircut/ Interrupted Hymm, Dailies Gone Wold and THE STORY OF PETROLEUM (ea 1923). Also has 2 deleted scenes in it.

Paul Thomas Anderson (The Director) hand picked all the images for the packaging on both versions

This is a must have if you are a Gangs Of New York Fan

That's from Hong Kong. UGH. You got me all excited.

Better picture of the 2-disc.

It angers me on a daily basis that there's no PTA/DDL commentary.

Awesome.

It doesn't, but it's still worth seeing.

Something that I love about these covers are that fact that they avoid those Critic Quotes as well as Awards Received. Of course it shows off how good the film really is but the way Paramount Vantage and Miramax have gone about the DVD covers is exactly what I like. Simplicity again is King.

I'm sure P.T. Anderson had his say on the DVD cover art.

doesn't seem like very good special features for an Oscar winning film

I doubt it'll be a day and date release with the DVD versions, however.

I'm not going to be waiting for the BD release of TWBB, but I hope Paramount can quickly scramble to release the BD on the same day. I'll be getting the 2-disc edition (unless the BD is released on the same day).

Nice 2 disc art work

HD-DVD? ...I doubt it This is what digital bits is saying about the HD-DVD release....

Paramount has just officially reconfirmed that There Will Be Blood will be released on DVD on 4/8. The studio had originally set the DVD and HD-DVD versions for release on 4/8, but then the title was pulled from the Paramount Home Entertainment online press database. Just today, however, it's been added back into the system in the following configurations: single-disc widescreen DVD, 2-disc widescreen Collector's Edition DVD and 2-disc Collector's Edition "HD". Since the studio has already confirmed that today's HD-DVD releases (Things We Lost in the Fire and Into the Wild) are its last, the new "HD" listing for There Will Be Blood can mean only one of two things: Either it's the studio's first newly announced Blu-ray (possible, but we think somewhat unlikely), or this is simply error - an HD-DVD title that hasn't yet been cleaned out of the database. When I tried contacting the studio this morning, per usual these past few weeks, I was unable to speak with anyone who could confirm anything either way. We'll keep trying, but in the meantime, you CAN at least expect the DVDs on 4/8. And according to what little detail was available on the press site, the 2-disc Collector's Edition DVD will include some 15 minutes worth of deleted scenes, at least 3 featurettes (The Story of Petroleum, There Will Be Blood - Pics, Research, Etc and Dailies Gone Wild), trailers and more.

Counting down the days!

It was a really well made and great movie. Direction, acting and music was outstanding.

BUT I just didn't like it I'm afraid.

Loved the first 3 quarters, but then it seemed to lose it's pace and never recovered.

It affected me very much in the same way a lot of Kubrick's work does. Brilliant but it left me cold.

Still it was WAY better than NCFOM which was a total dud!

I'm digging the 2-disc art.  Not at first, but now for some reason I definitely like it.

Saw the movie once, didn't get much from it, but I was exhausted and trying to read Melville at the same time.  Think I need to give it a second chance.

I won't buy this 'til a Blu-ray is released. I wish they'd change that 2-disc art or at least give the Blu-ray the single-disc's artwork.

This is in my top 10 movies of 2007 but definitely not #1 (that would have to be Diving Bell).

Final artwork for the 2-disc added...

those extras are SO f**king weak.

Yeah the 2-disc box art....great shot. I wish more companies would take an awesome shot from the movie and slap a title on it. Would turn out so much better than all this obviously photoshopped c**p these days.

I can't believe that other s**t won. It is about as deserving a winner as Crash was. And cinematography over Atonement as well. Give me a break!

My fave tho is Golden Compass winning best visual effects over Transformers LMAO!

Daniel Day Lewis just won best Actor, so there you go...wonder if it will win best picture

I didn't think much of it, started well and got worse.

IMO Daniel Day Lewis does a great job with an unremarkable script.

I really like the 2-disc box art.

More like Daniel Day-Lewis turning in a homage to Faye Dunaway!

Artwork added.

I'm not that a big fan of that 2-disc artwork. I would have loved for this film to get a leathery (bible-style poster) digipak collector's edition. And i have a feeling the R2 collector's edition will have the original teaser poster "bible" artwork. R2 has the better artwork 99% of the time. What's with these people!?! The rest of PTA's films originally had digipak covers (well, i cant say this for hard eight, since ive never really seen it in store).

2 Disc artwork is cool, suits the film (dark and dirty) but I agree the bible cover on the teaser poster would have been even cooler.

Cant wait to see this on the weekend. Tho the person who said its as good as No Country for Old Men has me worried. I hated that with a passion.

You folks have got to be kidding. The artwork is absolutely flawless!

HD DVD might be gone, but im still glad this will leap into it's collection.

are you guys f**king kidding? that 2-disk artwork is so much better than i'd hoped for. not that i wasn't gonna pick it up anyway, but that artwork just sweetens the deal.

LOL gimme a break.

dont like the artwork but i will be picking up the 2 disc

I agree with what a few people have said, there are far too few features to justify a 2-disc... what gives?

And I also like the 2-disc art better, the poster/1-disc cover image looks freakishly CG for no reason... the 2-disc is gritty and cool.

That 2-disc artwork is awful.

Lowres shot of the 2-disc artwork added. I'll try and get highres artwork soon

I saw it for the 2nd time on tuesday, it was even better the 2nd time. Daniel Day Lewis' performance is definitely the finest I have seen put to film. By far my favourite movie of the year.

will be getting the 2 disc

don't think so. To me that kind of thinking, to consider that those attributes define the "american way", is a politically correct, widely accepted sort of ideological racism that is very extended nowadays (at least in Europe where I live) and it is called "anti-americanism". If his character is to be viewed as a metaphor for a culture, it is too shallow and simplistic to be taken seriously, although that simplicity seems to work and is called "propaganda." He is a human stereotype that can be found anywhere in the world. Anyway, I suspect that the filmmakers intentions point that way, specially if you add Paul/Eli Sundays's character to the mix:
Plainview + Paul/Eli Sunday = Oil (the power of money) + Superstition (the power of lies, manipulation) = Blood. Sounds familiar? That is precisely what anti-american propaganda claims is the American Way.
Notice I say Paul/Eli since to me they are the same person, not brothers, and the most disturbing and really negative force in the movie

 Best film since Pulp Fiction. Stupid how they can't add those puny features to one disc.

One of the best movies I've ever seen also, cant wait for the 2 disc!

Can't wait to see the 2-disc artwork. TWBB is easily one of the best films I've ever seen. The year's best!

I just saw this movie a few days ago.

One of the finest of 2007!

Will definitely be getting the 2-disc edition.

Although, the artwork probably isn't better than the excellent one-disc artwork.

This was brilliant.  I can't wait for the 2-disc!

Awesome!  I loved this film and can't wait to buy the 2-Disc edition!

THE "MOMMIE DEAREST" OF OUR GENERATION!!!!

"MILKSHAAAAAAKE!!!!! DRAINAAAAAGE!!!!! I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!!!"

LMFAO!!! Camp Classic!

I drank your milkshake!

This movie ruled, Daniel Day is the goddamn man. I'd watch him peel potatoes for 3 hours.

hell yes!!! HD DVD only!! GOtta find something to be happy about today!

It looks like he's taking a c**p. But otherwise, this was my favorite movie of 2007.

awesome cover

Daniel Day-Lewis won the SAG award, did he?

Yep, Paramount has lousy timing ... I guess Toshiba did not inform them of the decision to withdraw from HD DVD format.  Sheesh - to think Paramount was silly enough to go HD DVD exclusive and Toshiba was too afraid to tell them that they have abandoned the format(Michael Bay must be pleased that Transformers will  now get a Blu Ray release).

I can't believe there is absolutely nothing on the 1 disc edition. And all the special features on the 2-disc edition could have been on the 1 disc. And the artwork isn't impressive either.

Paramount's timing is impeccable: Toshiba announces the end of the HD DVD format by March...and this film comes out on HD DVD April 8th. Love the film, I'll wait for the Blu-ray.
