#Maurice 30th Anniversary edition

[gravesdiggers]

As well as the release date for the US Blu-ray of Maurice on Amazon US (September 5th) we now also have the artwork, sadly still with the mis-leading Grant-centric poster as the cover but there’s a very nice pic of Rupert on the back:

...and details of what will be included:

NEW 4K restoration of the film

NEW on-stage Q&A session with James Ivory and cinematographer Pierre Lhomme

NEW conversation between James Ivory and director Tom McCarthy

James Ivory and cinematographer Pierre Lhomme on the making of Maurice

The Story of Maurice

Conversation with the Filmmakers

Deleted scenes and alternate takes with commentary by director James Ivory

Original theatrical trailer

NEW Restoration trailer

Optional English SDH subtitles for the main feature (subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing, includes sound effects etc. as well as dialogue)

The most interesting thing to me however, is what’s not included - there’s no sign of a region restriction on the back cover. Last year’s Blu-ray release by Cohen Media Group of their 4k restoration of Howards End was not region locked so fingers (toes, eyes, everything else) crossed that they’ll do the same with Maurice! :)

48cm:Rotating Mass Media winding down Bicycle Times website

PITTSBURGH (BRAIN) — Close to two years after suspending its print edition and moving exclusively online, Bicycle Times’ website is winding down, with content migrating over to the website and print magazine of fellow Rotating Mass Media title Dirt Rag.

“We’ll incorporate as much of the content into Dirt Rag as far as the more adventure, bikepacking, gravel type of content. Dirt Rag is much stronger than Bicycle Times, so we’ll build our viewership over there,” founder and publisher Maurice Tierney told BRAIN. “We’re going to be missing some of utility and commuter content (from Bicycle Times) — that probably won’t make it over to Dirt Rag in the near future. With our small staff, it’s important that we keep our energy focused.”

Bicycle Times ceased print publication with its 46th issue in March 2017 following about three years of declining advertising sales. But since shifting its focus online, traffic to the website has dropped off, Tierney noted.

“There was still interest from the industry to advertise on the Bicycle Times website. However, we weren’t getting the number of hits. When you spend a day or longer writing an article and it only gets so many hits, it just wasn’t worth it. It didn’t generate the readership to extract value from advertising,” he said.

“We need to focus on our core, which is Dirt Rag. We still have a print magazine with Dirt Rag and advertising support is strong there, so we have to keep our editorial energy and sales focus there.”

Rotating Mass is also looking to expand the events side of its business, which this year includes two Dirt Rag Dirt Fests in May in Pennsylvania and in July in West Virginia. Those events typically draw 1,500 to 3,000 participants, and Tierney said he’s looking into new locations in the Southern and Western regions of the U.S. to add some smaller events to Rotating Mass’ calendar. Another full-scale festival could be added in 2020, he noted.

Dirt Rag will also celebrate its 30th anniversary this year. “We’re really stoked to be able to continue to do that, and we’re thankful for all the industry support we get,” Tierney said.

“...gamekeeper Alec Scudder (Rupert Graves, completing perhaps the prettiest posh-boy triangle in screen history)”

*sigh* He’s not posh - but we’ll definitely give you pretty.

[gravesdiggers]

I’m loving all these wonderful interviews with Ivory we’re getting - and it’s lovely to see Maurice getting some long overdue recognition!

This piece has some lovely historical - and current - details. It also has James Ivory’s recollection of something discussed in the Maurice interview extras  - “He swears it was him”

Before shooting, Graves and Wilby agreed to make their love scenes convincing. “Rupert said, ‘Let’s go for it. Let’s give ’em a real kiss,’ ” Ivory said. “And they did—the sort of thing you don’t really see in movies with male lovers. It just never happens.”

Sorry, James ;)

The good news is that there’s a new trailer for the 30th anniversary 4K digital restoration release of Maurice and my word it looks - and sounds - gorgeous... the sadly less good news is that the above gif is the entirety of Rupert’s appearance in it - but did I mention how amazing it looks?!

There’s also a new poster, which is similarly Durham-skewed, but to be fair to Cohen Media Group they know Hugh Grant’s is the most recognisable name and they also aren’t giving away any of the best bits in the trailer!

(The trailer is also intriguingly titled “trailer #2″... fingers crossed!)

[gravesdiggers]

Don’t get your hopes up (who am I kidding?!) but when Paul from RGO confirmed the release date (Sept 5th as previously reported) for the 30th anniversary 4k restoration blu-ray of Maurice on Twitter this afternoon I asked him if this was still a US only release.

He confirmed it was - but he’s hoping for some "nice” news soon...

Another screening for Maurice, this time at the Seattle International Film Festival on May 22nd.

Happy #maurice boxing day 2017 – special 30th anniversary edition

[expo63]

fermencja mentioned you on a post “Maurice 30th-anniversary Blu-ray: US Amazon pre-order link, and...”

@expo63​ What is ' special deluxe 30th-anniversary edition'? :)

Uh, marketing language?

It should mean that the discs and printed extras are produced to a decent standard and handsomely packaged. (Blu-ray.com’s exhaustive review of Cohen Media Group’s 2016 Blu-ray release of the Howards End restoration should give a fair indication re. extras and packaging.)

It does not mean the discs are presented in a bespoke case lined with corduroy crushed velvet and angel wings, with the booklet printed on handmade Japanese paper, scented with a choice of evening primrose or Eau de Alec, with a choice of 3 different case covers, plus 6 disc designs randomly paired, so that the kind of person who collects collectables ends up buying 45 (or do I mean 90) copies. ;-)
