Burbank, Calif, June 23, 2008 - The New World, Academy Award® nominated director Terrence Malick’s (The Thin Red Line, Days of Heaven) adventure-filled journey of discovery, will be released October 14 on DVD in a new amped-up Extended Cut. This edition of the critically-acclaimed, Oscar®-nominated epic recreating the turbulent first days of the new America now features more than 30 minutes of never-before-seen footage, heightening the viewing experience with more battles, more intensity and more visual splendor. Also included is a comprehensive, ten-part documentary – Making the New World – which captures the unique creative challenges filmmakers faced. The New World Extended Cut will sell for $19.97 SRP.
Synopsis
Powhatan tribal people stare in wonder as three ships approach shore. It’s a story every schoolchild knows; the story of Capt. John Smith (Colin Farrell) and Pocahontas (Q’orianka Kilcher). Now, as told by filmmaker Terrence Malick (Badlands, Days of Heaven, The Thin Red Line) in this extended version with more than 30 minutes of footage unseen in theaters -- it’s a story you never imagined. Working in part from first-hand histories and adding his extraordinary sense of image and human drama, Malick crafts a visceral, spellbinding tale of the Jamestown settlement, of cultures connecting and of deadly consequences when connections fray. Christian Bale and Christopher Plummer also star.

I find the picture to be an incredible bore but I know a lot Zoners have heard of it but haven't witnessed it yet. However, I do feel that I should point out the new transfer was HD so I expect this will be on Blu-ray within a year, in case you need your degradation at 1920x1080.

As much as I love Rodan (quite comparable to Godzilla in the tone, but not on execution) War of the Gargantua's all ways captured my imagination as a kid and the movie translated well into my teen and young adult life. I think the fact that Monsters are guys in Ape suites translated well to the fight scenes and the overall coolness of the story. The ending is a bit of a cop out but then again, many TOHO films were.
