| | Posted: | | | | Don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I try anyway. I'm looking for the scans for this profile. The reason is that the existing scan is a thumbnail, and my version is the keep-case re-release. Would appreciate(?) if someone could contribute a new scan. | | | "What's God?"

| | Posted: | | | | How different is your artwork to the snapper?
If it's the same artwork but in a keepcase instead of on cardboard, I'd submit the scans with an explanation. Would be better than having the thumbnails. |

| | Posted: | | | |  ...how embarrising in a way. I do have the snapper, but it's still a re-release. The first release was a cut version of the movie (English version) that was before Norway got their own versions of WB movies. My copy is from 1999 (package design) and has the word "Uklippet versjon" (uncut version) on the front. I could erase those words to get the proper front, but the backside is slightly different. Since the first version has the english cover, with a sticker on the back, with norwegian words I suspect that I get alot of NO votes since it's not the first release if I relese it. The first version has the english overview, and my release has norwegian overview and details on the back. Most of WB titles was re-released as uncut versions in Norway in 1999 and forward, since we have a different cutting/rating system than UK/Germany. Before 1999 all WB titles was either UK or German versions and then some were cut due to ratings in UK/Germany. I could scan my snapper and try, and just keep it local, but it would be nice if someone has the original cover. UK version would probably get through since it's originally is a UK cover, with a Norwegian sticker on the back. It's tha same EAN as the cut version, but in this case it would be cool to have a checkbox that says re-release, in the same way we add different localities when we add the DVD's. | | | "What's God?"

| | Posted: | | | | I vote for not editing the scan. Just scan the one you have as it is. If someone has the real one, they can contribute it later. But if you edit it, it would be harder to see if it's the real one or not.
I think it's generally better with a real un-edited wrong cover, than an edited wrong cover. |

| | Posted: | | | | I agree. I'm not a big fan of image manipulation on covers scans to start with, and I think a composite image is not a good idea at all.
The UK profile has slightly larger scans, but still not great. The front cover is identical, and as you suggested, the only difference on the back cover is the sticker at the bottom. |

| | Posted: | | | | Funny.. the UK profile of this same EAN is the same norwegian profile, and it has slightly bigger scans that can be used to improve the norwegian profile a litle... or about 90%  After this the UK (norwegian) profile should be asked removed. | | | | We are all at the same age, only at different time... |

| | Posted: | | | | I was wondering: since bentyman mentioned the original release was a cut version and the re-release an uncut release, shouldn't the re-release get a profile of its own? (by Disc ID, if they share the same EAN) Surely the running times should be different then. And then the re-release could get its proper cover scan as well. |

Yes, that's what would be the best solution. It is a different version (cut vs uncut) but they share the same EAN. Is it possible to make it a new contribution with discID, or is it against the rules? | | | "What's God?"

I got a DVD with a completely different movie than the UPC told me it was. Not a bad idea, and shouldn't corrupt anything either, unless they change the UPC as well, later. |

| | Posted: | | | | For those Norwegians that has this title, I have now uploaded this version as discID. It's pending right now, but since it's a "new" profile, it will probably go through during sunday. The title is Under Siege: Uklippet versjon as edition. Then we can see what version to add | | | "What's God?"

later they re-released the same disc's with "real" norwegian covers YES it should be removed, it is not a UK profile even if it is a UK cover with norwegian sticker on it. And it is'nt even a UK cover with a sticker, there are no UK ratings on it. Bentyman have you taken a look at the UK profile with the same EAN? It is of better quality and may be copied to the norwegian profile. Norwegian profile 7-321940-124209 NO:   UK (norwegian profile) 7-321940-124209 UK:   | | | | We are all at the same age, only at different time... |

| | Posted: | | | | The UK entry under that EAN is definitely not correct. A UK release always has BBFC rating on the cover front and back (and 99.99% spine). It looks like another case of just adding it to any old locality.
Also doing a Google search for that EAN (without hyphens) only brings up 2 results, both for Norway.
It looks like the UK release does have a very similar number though of 7321900124201. | | | | Last edited: by Ardos |

Those pictures are identical, however the last one is "bigger" but if you look at the sticker, it's placed exactly tha same way as the smaller pic. Therefore I uploaded Under Siege with discID, and added Uklippet versjon to the edition field, since it's differ from the first release which was cut. Also did the same with Kodenavn:Nina (The Assassin) also a re-release, and added it with discID. The problem would be solved if we had the chance to add it with the EAN as is, and just added edition (as a new profile, the same way as we enter different locality of the same EAN) | | | "What's God?"
