It's a very good point and work is underway to build systems that will provide far easier info for the future.

Amazon have withdrawn pre-orders for the Deep Red Blu-ray now too, just got an email through.

Looking forward to having a pre-release info system up and running in the future.

Artwork ready yet?

I guess not!

I'm (once again) wading in very late but I have to say that Profondo Rosso is such a great film that I don't think that little cut matters. For years I only had a cut version and it still became my favourite Argento (well, joint with Tenebrae) and one of my favourite films of all time. I later got hold of an uncut version (German, I think) and I barely even noticed the addition of the impaled lizard.

That said, I think I would be in favour of digitally altering the scene in some way, rather than cutting it entirely or putting in a still image.

As much as I am for teh film being uncut, the last version I saw theatrically was the completely butchered US edit. It made NO sense at all, I'll be happy even if they have to make this tiny cut.

Any more info on the extras?

Aside from anything else, there's no law that says we can't dicsuss BBFC cuts and debate how to best deal with issues of censorship. I'm sure their replies to folks are also heavily rehearsed ad infinitum!

'ad infinitum' really just means 'at length' so they were just letting me know that they are aware of what's going on. I'm just happy they responded since I seem to be the only one NOT to have gotten a response the first around with INFERNO even though I wrote nearly the same e-mail with a few minor tweaks.
