#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 That is not unusual at all actually. especially since it's awards season and The Arrival racked up some nominations. The re-release is basically marketing for the Oscars, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 That I don't know. The article is unclear if it's just "behind the scenes" promo footage or actual new scenes from the film though. Would releasing an expanded cut not be a breach of somekinda Oscar rule?

Jay 37,281 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 If you guys read the article, it's an 8 minute featurette shown before the film, not a new cut of the film. Click bait headlines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 You are probably correct, but this sentence keeps that a bit vague. We understand that the new release of Arrival will include eight minutes of bonus footage from the film which should include some behind the scenes element, and something from Villeneuve himself. The film was a tightly-wound mystery which doesn’t seem like it needs expanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,326 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 True! But I thought the discs were too expensive. I only collected about 12 movies and then I sold everything when DVD arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Laserdisc was on its way out in the early nineties, so i invested in CD-i. Did you have that in Belgium Alex? Advertised as a high quality digital video format, it was actually what we know now as mpeg1 340x220 video with horrid pixel blocking even on nineties TV's I actually held off on DVD for several years because of my disappointment in that.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 What? You didn't read me right. I was so disappointed in CDi that I didn't look into DVD at all. Untill maybe 2000 when i saw one and the picture looked truly wonderful. When I bought by player. A very unreliable Medion that was noisy and would get very hot I was amazed! It looked like cinema, but on my TV! DVD revolutionized home video in a way Blu-ray, 4K and streaming never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 The quality of DVD helped usher in the Golden Age of TV, I think? Suddenly TV needed to compete with film visually. The canvas seemed bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome in Plaid 219 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Finally got around to seeing the film (I think if I waited any longer my linguistics major card would be revoked), and it was pretty good. The twist was a little obvious, but I probably wouldn't have picked up on it as quickly if I hadn't already seen Spoiler The Fountain and Interstellar. I have to say I never would've expected to hear "Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis" name-dropped in a blockbuster, so it gets brownie points for that. Johannsson's score, though... I'm not getting the praise. If you're going to go the defamiliarizing drone route (which I actually think was a wise decision), commit to it. Go out and get Sunn O))) (any of O'Malley's projects, really), or Nadja, or 90s-vintage Dylan Carlson. Think the first antechamber scene is tense with Johansson's score? Try syncing it up to the first two tracks of "Monoliths and Dimensions." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KK 3,307 Posted October 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2020 Some unreleased Jóhannsson tracks have been put out as "rarities", including the one below from Arrival. I'm guessing this was the original opening piece that Villeneuve replaced with the Richter.

bruce marshall 1,314 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Judging only from listening to the OST cd- meh. Had these pieces been there I might have felt different.

Thor 7,463 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 He would indeed. Thankfully, there are still gems to be found in his catalogue, so we'll have "new" Jóhannsson to discover for some time to come. I've been meaning to check out his films as director, the art films LAST AND FIRST MEN and END OF SUMMER; the former is actually screening at festivals as we speak.

KK 3,307 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Last and First Men is a fantastic film. I was surprised at its cinematic potency, though I suspect it won't be JWFan's taste.
