    According to a post on DVD Times Forum, Movies Unlimited say that Weinstein have acquired the rights to the Samuel Bronston epics Fall Of The Roman Empire, El Cid, 55 Days At Peking and Circus World and plan a mid-2007 DVD release.

    So far, Fall of the Roman Empire and El Cid have gotten the deluxe treatment. 55 Days and Circus World should be completed by the end of this year, or early next.



    I've noticed that falc04 hasn't been here since November, but I was wondering if any word is out on the release date of this movie. I haven't seen anything yet and according to the post above, this movie was suppose to be released last 2008 or early 2009. So is there anything on this from anyone?

    Thanks for the information. Have you seen Fall of the Roman Empire or El Cid? I heard that they were good movies. Exciting about Circus World. Can't wait.

    I first watched it on Laserdisc back in the early 90s. It was released in it's proper widescreen ratio, with 6 channel stereo separation. Like others have mentioned, the film loses a lot when you see it on VHS, because you are losing so much of the picture image. I currently own the DVD from France, which is really the only good version out there right now (the Asian ones are full screen as well). But the good news is that Disney recently purchased the rights to all the Bronston epics, and Circus World is scheduled to be released in region 1 either late this year or early next year.



    Are they releasing all the Bronston epics? Did they specifically say Circus World? Where did you hear this? And when did this come out? This is good news. I'd like to complete my 60s and 70's John Wayne movie collection.

    I can only say that I've seen it on VHS. If I've seen it on TV, I don't remember. I do know I have never seen it at the theater. I need to see it again. It has been a while since I've seen it, but I do remember liking it. Not a great Duke movie, but one that was different and I liked pretty well.

    We don't talk a lot about Circus World, so I was wondering who on this message board have seen this movie. It has never been released in the U.S. on DVD. It is available or has been available on VHS. I happen to have a VHS copy of this movie myself, so my question is simple. Have you ever seen this movie?

    You may comment on your experiences seeing the movie. I'm not interested in reviews from the video sources or Hollywood like imbd, etc. I am interested in your own personal opinion.

    I will see my movie. It has been years since I've seen it myself, but I will watch it again and comment when I do.
