Wonder if threats of legal action is what's behind the 'recall'. Surely WB knew they were using the old transfer.
Crazy to think that a company like WB would roll the dice on something like this just to see what they might get away with. Disrespectful to the fans too.
Amazon is issuing refunds on request and not even asking for the 'flawed' full frame versions to be sent back in. It'll be interesting to see what the new remastered DVD release will be priced at. Someone will pay for this fiasco....
From Friedkin's Facebook page:
To make it clear, I supervised ONLY the BLURAY and DCP of
SORCERER. I haven't seen the DVD and have no idea
Who issued it.
The Sorcerer dvd's we're not made from the original negative.
They are old, bad copies. Only the blu rays, distributed by WB
are authorized.
The SORCERER blu ray is perfect. The DVD is flawed
and Warner's has recalled them. I will make a new DVD
And tweet when it's ready.
Do not buy the Sorcerer DVD yet. WB is making sure it's
Cut out. They are making a new DVD which will be available
Shortly, from the master.
