New editions of Philadelphia and Dr. Strangelove coming 11/2!
From DVDfile.com
It's the return of the double-dip with two new special edition reissues from Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment.
Due on November 2nd is a two-disc set of Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove, which will be presented in 1.33:1 full screen and Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 surround. Extras include the new documentary "The Art of Stanley Kubrick from Short Films to Strangelove" and "Inside the Making of Dr. Strangelove" featurette, split-screen interview with Peter Sellers and George C. Scott, an advertising gallery, talent files and production notes. Retail will be $34.95.
Also getting the two-disc treatment on the 2nd is Jonathan Demme's Philadelphia. Remastered in anamorphic widescreen and Dolby 5.1 surround, extras include an audio commentary with Demme, a new documentary, deleted scenes, additional courthouse protest footage and interviews, the Oscar-winning Bruce Springsteen "Streets of Philadelphia" music video, and the theatrical trailer. List price will be $24.95.

We've got some more big announcements for you today. First of all, Columbia TriStar has officially revealed that Dr. Strangelove: 40th Anniversary Edition we told you about last week. Look for the 2-disc set (due 11/2) to include the film in its original variable full frame aspect ratio(s), with audio in English Dolby Digital & DTS 5.1. Extras will include The Art of Stanley Kubrick from Short Films to Strangelove documentary, the Inside the Making of Dr. Strangelove featurette, original split-screen interviews with Peter Sellers and George C. Scott, an original advertising gallery, cast bios and production notes. Other than Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 audio and the set being released on 2 discs, we're trying to determine how this differs from the previous SE release. There doesn't seem to be much difference.
Also set to arrive on 11/2 from the studio is a Philadelphia: Anniversary Edition, which will include the film in anamorphic widescreen video and Dolby Digital 5.0 audio. Extras will include audio commentary with the filmmakers, deleted scenes, an original production featurette, courthouse protest footage and interviews, Bruce Springsteen's Streets of Philadelphia music video, and the theatrical trailer.

As much as I enjoy "Philadelphia" I have to admit that these added features don't do too much for me. The only real feature interesting me is the anamorphic WS remaster. My problem is that I just don't think I watch this one enough to pick it up again.
