:O
I NEED THIS. How come I haven't head about this release? :l
It was in the rumor mill for a long time but officially announced a few months ago. Includes every episode of the show (including the extended pilot with the shows alternate ending that aired in Europe), the movie, and every bonus feature from every previous DVD release, including the deleted scenes from each episode, old TV specials, and the like.
PLUS, they're finally releasing the cut footage and never-before released 45 minutes from the film to the public for the first time, and have recorded some new stuff for the Blu-Ray release as well, along with new special features.
Apparently some of the deleted scenes are also being released for the first time, including he Season 2 finale extended ending which was never released until now (there were in fact scenes that were recorded beyond
).
Shhh, I love Blue Velvet too obviously.
Twin Peaks hitting BD still feels so surreal -- people were so certain that, since the show was mastered in SD, it'd never see a high-def release. The common assumption, I'd presume, was that the original film negatives had been lost to time, but I'm glad the show's cult status gave rise to a successful effort to find them.
It seems it's taken a while as there's been rumors and leaks about this for the last couple years. I'm also happy they went out of their way to edit in and release new footage and record some new footage for it. But will be surreal seeing it in high-def, I am a bit saddened Lynch confirms this will be the last Twin Peaks-related thing he'll ever work on, but I do understand he's only getting older and it's almost 25 years old now.
I'm trying so hard to pull the trigger on Twin Peaks, but...man, it's on Netflix...
