Es una muy linda colección, hasta ahora solamente me copé con los Volúmenes 4, 5 y 6.
Ambos dicos vienen subtitulados en español en todos los casos, la presentación es de primera e incluye booklets y covertor de cartón.
Lo único feo es que Paramount hace tiempo abandonó la caja con soporte para 2 discos y usa una parecida a la de Zona 4 con un disco de cada lado, pero la calidad del plástico años luz de la porquería de 5 centavos que usan aquí.

Here's some news we think is pretty exciting: We've confirmed with our sources that Paramount is - at long last - finally preparing The African Queen: Centennial Collection with a tentative street date of 10/13 (date subject to change). [Editor's Note: We had direct confirmation on the record from the studio earlier this year that they were working on the transfer, but this is the first word we've had of the final release.] We believe this is currently a DVD only release, but a Blu-ray could still be planned for later in the year or next year. Also coming are new Centennial Collection DVD editions of Chinatown and Sorry, Wrong Number. We're told at least Chinatown is planned for Blu-ray release in 2010. Meanwhile, though it hasn't yet been announced, we're told once again that It's a Wonderful Life is tentatively planned for release on Blu-ray in November (the title is already available on DVD).

Hay algunas cosas planeadas, pero me parece que el Blu-Ray va a cambiar los planes de esta colección, sacaron muy pocas cosas en 6 meses...

EXTRAS / REVIEW:
Disc 1:
- Commentary with Screenwriter Robert Towne and David Fincher
Disc 2:
Water and Power (1:17:46, 16x9): Separated into three parts -- The Aqueduct, The Aftermath, and The River and Beyond -- historians, family, and Robert Towne delve into the history behind William Mulholland, the man whom the true struggle over water centered around in the 1910-20 time era. It offers a wealth of information about Mulholland himself, both with affirmation to his character being similar to those tycoons in the film as well as some dissuasion from the man's family. Ranchers talk about the nature of the land, while other family members reflect on records to paint an accurate picture of the villainy of the time. Though lengthy and very front-heavy with interest, it's certainly worth a watch -- especially the first portion.
Chinatown: An Appreciation (26:13, 16x9): Several filmmakers get together to discuss Chinatown's impact on their film-making careers in this featurette, moving along in a subject-by-subject fashion with points from the film. Directors Steve Soderberg (Traffic) and Kimberly Price (Boys Don't Cry), cinematographer Roger Deacons (Shawshank Redemption), and composer James Newton Howard (The Dark Knight) all discuss elements ranging from cinematography and editing to Nicholson and Dunaway's stellar performances. They also heavily concentrate on Polanski's directorial precision, and how it affected their talents.
Chinatown: The Beginning and End (19:30, 4x3 from 2007): This feature follows the initial conception and the cascade to come up with the conclusion to Chinatown. It talks about Polanski's tentative and stand-offish initial involvement with the film, Robert Towne writing a "detective story" about mundane things like water and power, as well as producer Robert Evans' offering of Great Gatsby to Towne -- and Towne desire not to mess up a literary classic. It also talks about the bleakness and procrastination in scripting the conclusion, as well as the need to create something cyclical by finishing the film in Chinatown.
Chinatown: The Filming (25:36, 4x3 from 2007): As we start to soak into the actual construction of the film, we listen to Roman Polanski's interview time about minor details and the balking on the Godfather-like cinematography. They also talk about Polanski's small yet important acting role in the film, about the special knife they used for the scene, and Polanski's apprehension in cutting his hair for the scene. Robert Evans also discusses the necessity for irreverence for a film to be successful, as well as Dunaway being a "handful" on the set.
Chinatown: The Legacy (9:40, 4x3 from 2007): Though the discussion happens early in the featurette, the most interesting line comes in Polanski mentioning that he was humdrum about making Chinatown -- and how that might have added a "cool" vibe on set. He sincerely didn't feel it was anything special, but the film's legacy would, of course, prove otherwise. It talks about Towne waiting for the "other shoe to drop" regarding the positive reviews, as well as Nicholson's intuition that Chinatown would garnish Academy award nominations. It also discusses its internally-developed cult-ish following based on the analyses on the film.
To wrap things up, we've got a Theatrical Trailer (3:21, 16x9 from 2007) available on the second disc -- which proves interesting from a musical standpoint, since the cues are fairly different than the ones in the actual film.

Ojala que editen un par más antes de fin de año. Así redondearían 12 en 12 meses, aunque la Colección arrancó el 11/11/2008 con 3 títulos y luego venía de a 2 cada 2 meses hasta que se estancó en MAYO y no volvió a salir nada hasta el 6/10/2009 (o sea CHINATOWN, la N°10).

The African Queen creo que no existe en Zona 1. En UK hay varias ediciones mediocres y sin subtítulos.
Las de Francia no se que tal serán...
Por esta historia de aventuras en el corazón de África durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, Humphrey Bogart ganó el Oscar® al mejor actor el año 1952.
En su papel del marinero borrachuzo Charlie Allnut, que comercia con su pequeño vapor "La Reina de África" por los ríos del Continente Negro, Bogey se enfrenta a Katharine Hepburn (Rose, la puritana hermana del Reverendo Samuel Sayer – interpretado por Robert Morley) con el telón de la guerra mundial de fondo. El destino de ambos quedará unido en su huída por el río a bordo de la destartalada barca.
El director John Huston quiso filmar esta película en escenarios naturales en África, lo que supuso innumerables dificultades para el rodaje. Uno de los guionistas, Peter Viertel, noveló algunas de las anécdotas del rodaje en su libro Cazador Blanco, Corazón Negro (White Hunter, Black Heart), que años después sería llevado al cine por Clint Eastwood con ese mismo título.
Y también hay una edición Zona 2 Española.
Aquí comparada con la de UK: http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/dvdcompare/african.htm
Aquí una Reseña de ZonaDVD: http://www.zonadvd.com/modules.php?name ... ent&id=135
Extracto: "Para esta edición en DVD, no cabe duda que Manga no ha telecinado directamente celuloide, sino que se ha digitalizado un máster antiguo en vídeo analógico."
* Zona 2 inglesa, editada por Carlton: el único idioma es inglés, con subtítulos también en inglés. Lleva como extras un audiocomentario del director de fotografía Jack Cardiff, el tráiler, las biografías de director e intérpretes y una pequeña galería fotográfica (fotografías en blanco y negro, fotografías publicitarias y pósters de la película). Según una comparativa de DVDBeaver.com, su imagen es muy superior a la de Manga Films.
* Zona 4 Australia, de Romulus MRA Entertainment. Idioma inglés, sin ninguna clase de subtítulos y sin extras. Por no llevar, parece ser que no lleva ni división en capítulos ni tan siquiera código de tiempo durante la reproducción. Aunque, según algunos análisis, su calidad de imagen no es mala, parece una edición absolutamente prescindible.
