It will tumble from the sky…
The above The Man Who Fell To Earth Region 2 BD that we told you about last year, (12.02.2010 NEWS: TMWFTE DUE ON REGION 2 BLU-RAY NEXT YEAR) was originally due for release about now.
However, this long-awaited Optimum Classic release has now been put back a month to April 4th.
I’m fairly sure this version contains pretty much the same content as its Criterion counterpart, (08.22.2008 NEWS: CRITERION TMWFTE BLU RAY RELEASE DETAILS) but I’ll let you know for certain once I’ve viewed the check disc.
Meanwhile, if you’re pre-ordering, be careful not to accidentally select this The Man Who Fell To Earth DVD pictured below…
I guess this title stems from back in the day when it was suggested on more than one occasion that both David Bowie and Brian Eno were visitors from another planet! It didn’t seem an unreasonable notion at the time. The 70s, eh? I guess you had to be there.
Anyway, I’ll give this DVD the benefit of the doubt for now, but don’t blame me if you order it and it ends up being one of those shoddy cut and paste jobs like so many of the unofficial Bowie DVDs that litter the marketplace.
