Better talk Pioneer into making a high end player using modern technologies. I'll sure would buy one.

As for titles I would like: (Not per se all 2000+ for me, I would like some old titles they missed back than aswel)

1. Eyes Wide Shut (To complete my Kubrick Collection)
2/3. Ghosts of Mars & The Ward (To complete my Carpenter Collection)
4. Moulin Rouge!
5. Tree of Life
6. Requiem for a Dream
7. Baby Snakes (1978)
8. Kill Bill Box
9. Alligator (1980)
10. Death Ship (1980)

Of course all squeezed laserdiscs Special Sditions.

Thanks for the new input, first post is updated.


Looks like we are some way off persuading a company to commence production of laserdiscs right now with a current max of 4 orders per title so far :(
I'm with you though - I'd happily pay $200 for any disc so we can turn this dream into a reality!

I was a ghost/zombie in Ghosts Of Mars and yet, I still haven't seen that film. They paid us $50 a night plus food and we filmed out on one of the reservations in New Mexico. It was fun, but John Carpenter didn't seem to be having fun... More like he was embarrassed to be making the film... It was weird.

It is his only film I don't really like, so I'm not surprised he wasn't very happy.Looked like a very uninspired work. But If you were an extra, you should see it, just for remembering he time. I have worked on a lot of movies in The Netherlands and when I watch them is feels like watching old holiday movies.

Just saw this thread and it reminds me of something I created some time ago. I was a little bored so I made various LD box covers just for fun to see what it would look like if those movies would've been released on LaserDisc. Still found those images so here they are:

Appleseed:
Image

Hellboy II:
Image

LOTR (with a touch of Criterion):
Image

SAW:
Image

Hm, maybe I can do some more of those. I think creating boxes for stuff like Avatar or BSG would be lots of fun....

I'll just embed one image and link to the rest, I don't wanna take up too much space :)

Compared to the Last Crusade LD: http://stayornay.com/ld/indy4/Indy-4-ld-compare-web.jpg

Flat version of the cover: http://stayornay.com/ld/indy4/indy-4-cover-flat.jpg

It was quite fun to do, but tough. I scanned some logos & elements and made vector versions out of them. When I was done with the flat cover I then edited it onto the photo. It's not perfect (the reflection was hell), but it's quite fun! :D

Hah, that is pretty awesome!

that would be a funny set, criterion CAV box set of the lord of the rings trilogy.
would that be something like 12 or more discs, not counting the making of.

Real nice work with the pictures :-) I´d buy all this Blue Underground/ Anchor Bay stuff they release these days and the remakes of those wonderful 80s horrormovies like Last house, Mothers Day...

knatterbuechse - you're artwork is superb. It looks like we have the covers sorted, all we need now is someone to manufacture a few discs!

Just received the japanese "THE HUNGER" Boxset, very nicely done, very heavy..I can really imagine a movie like GLADIATOR to be released in this format. I especially liked the Pans Labyrinth Artwork...well, I wonder how Laserdiscs would look like, when they´d be remastered with modern technology. Does anyone think the picture quality could be improved ?
