I don't think Criterion would ever do a budget box for films that have a million cheap BD and DVD repackagings already available, and the audience buying this are likely doing so for the definitive deluxe treatment. What problem would you have with upwards compatibility anyways, is this something people are complaining about these days? We are in the final throes of physical media here, lets be thankful things like this are still being produced.

Wait… am I seeing effects test footage for “2001” in here?

“The “18 hours of footage” you’re referring to is unedited, unsynchronized 16MM material that was shot by Vivian Kubrick around the filming of Full Metal Jacket. This footage was not made available to us, however, Criterion were granted permission to include a short excerpt of largely unseen behind-the-scenes material, edited in 2005 by filmmaker and musician Katie deVidas, that was part of the touring Stanley Kubrick Exhibition organized by the German Film Museum and the Stanley Kubrick Archive. This excerpt is unique material that is different from the behind-the-scenes Full Metal Jacket footage featured in Stanley Kubrick’s Boxes and Jan Harlan’s Stanley Kubrick: Life In Pictures and not available on previous home video editions.”
