This looks sweet but rather than import im hoping to hear something about a US release, but if nothing happens near the release date i might just bite the bullett and import.

I have two questions that I couldn't decipher the answers to from that site, but I'm hoping someone can help me.

#1. Is it OAR? I know there's a really crappy edition out in Italy that's Full Frame. This French one said 16x9, but then after that it said 4/3. I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean.

#2. Does it have burned in subtitles? I'd buy it with burned in subs if I had no other choice, but if it does, I'll wait a little while longer for US release.

And the bonus question!

Anyone know if the interviews and other extra features be in English?

Molotov:

The disc will be indeed the WIDESCREEN VERSION (16/9-anamorphic)-oroginal aspect ratio-(2.35)

English-mono
French-mono
with only French and English subs!!

Digital Bits has it straight from Paramount that a Special Edition of this will be released by years end so I'll definately wait and see whats included on this one.

...at this point if you live in region 1 land I would definitely wait and see what happens (though The Bits are one of the sources I do not believe too much)....

I would wait!!
