Director Terry Gilliam confirms: "The Fisher King"(1991)coming to Criterion blu-ray in 2015

The classic melodrama starring Jeff Bridges, Robin Williams and Mercedes Ruehl in her Oscar-winning performance has been confirmed for release on Criterion Edition blu-ray in 2015 by its director, Monty Python's Terry Gilliam...

 

If I am not mistaken, Criterion has always released this title from LD & now bluray. I've have tried very hard to watch this film. Just not a favorite of mine. But I know a lot of people do.

 

Great news ! I can now upgrade from my VHS tape to a Criterion. That doesn't happen every day.

Also, my BuyBacks pays for my old VHS tapes, so I just added this to my Sell List.

Thanks Luke.

 

Nice!

Thanks for the article.
Had NO IDEA Robin has a cameo in "The Zero Theorem"!!

 

This is GREAT news. The LD Criterion edition of this film was the last reason I had for not giving away my LD player.

 

Sounds good. I saw a release of Criterion's Dec list of new blu-ray titles. The avatar for the ad was of Gilliam's Time Bandits, but when you clicked the link every title has a date for release EXCEPT Time Bandits which is (still) listed as OOP. Wha?!?!?!

SWEEEEET. (must've been updated since). Thanks. (p.s. love love LOVE your avatar. )

 

I'm confused- is there a date for TFK?

 

Not yet, but Gilliam confirms it will be available in the first half of 2015...

 

Close enough for me. Thanks.

 

Great news. I have the LD and remember that the commentary was interesting.

 

Took long enough.
