Just the other day, Warner Bros. had a chat on the Home Theater Forum. There were lists of titles that are coming out in the next couple years, some that are being worked on, and some that there are not plans for. Grand Prix was on none of these lists. So I guess nobody asked. So it is likely there will be no release this year.

If the "making of" dvd has anything to do with, or is the program they intertwined with 'Grand Prix' when they showed it on 'Speedvision" :( a few years ago, it was quite interesting. It showed how they modified cars to show the pedal/footwork shots, and, uh, a lot more. Interviews with Frankenheimer, Garner, etc. Anyway, I would like to see that again. But, I would like to see "Grand Prix" on dvd, more importantly. I bet 'Driven' is out on dvd, and that's a real shame. *** If you go to Amazon.com and do a search for DVD: Grand Prix, it says the following: Availability: NOT YET RELEASED: The studio is currently not producing this title on DVD, but to be notified when it is available, enter your e-mail address at right. You'll also be voting for this release; we'll let the studio know how many customers are waiting for this title. ***So if this is at all true, GO TO AMAZON and enter your email address!! EN MASSE!!!!! PLEASE!!! THIS WILL TAKE 1 minute out of your day! Thanks for bringing this up, I've been wondering myself!

Anyway just goes to show that the footage is obviously there... Seeing that Le Mans was released last year - Grand Prix 'cant be far behind.. Here's to hoping! -- Ed_

Does Warner own the right's to MGM too? --- [thinking] Yes it does... - dosn't it?... Turner Classic Movies show/own old MGM classics - and they are own/part of the Time Warner / Turner empire I think... -- ed_

The reviews at Amazon savage the documentary-apparently it is full of fluff pieces with very little substantive content... I actually just ordered the VHS version (got tired of waiting) as well the DVD of Le Mans (and Cannonball! by Brock Yates). John DiFool
