Father of the Bride SE this June.

I was just about to break down and buy the DVD of Father of the Bride (91), when I noticed on www.amazon.com that they have a Special Anniversasry Edition listed for release on June 7. No specs yet, but it looks pretty official. Guess I'll be waiting a few months to get it now.

Oh .... that Father Of The Bride ....

Ok, it was fun, but an SE of the original including Father's Little Dividend would be great!

YAYYYYYYYYY!!!

The original is non-anamorphic! Wonder if this means a re-release for the 2nd movie (which is also non-anamorphic).

Aside from the Ransom: SE released last year, I can't think of any other new/re-released title that has not been anamorphic in the last couple of years.

True, I'm just assuming that, since I don't think any major studio in their right mind would release a non-anamorphic disc these days (much less a RE-release of a previos disc). Then again, the Ransom SE example was brought up, and these two movies ARE from the same parent company...

True....BUT Ransom was available as a SE in other countries for a couple of years before we got it here and most of those companies have it as non-anamorphic as well. Essentially all they did was just release the same thing here. No new transfer.

However, FOTB hasn't been released ANYWHERE as a SE. I'm betting that this is 16x9.

But this release also begs another question: exactly what anniversary are we celebrating? The 14th???

Duh, it's the "we need to trot this out again to exploit June weddings and milk a very popular catalog title" anniversary.

Is June a typical wedding month or something??
I'm confused.

And I have no problem with re-releases on non-anamorphic discs. It's not like this has been released in the last 5 years. lol

While the June wedding thing is a possibility (I know a few people getting married this June) Steve Martin's Pink Panther comes out in July, I would bet that might have something to do with the timing.

EDIT: Oops, I see that PP is set for a Sept. release now.

I believe it's green paper, with presidents on it.

This sounds good, but I don't trust Amazon. I remember way back when they posted Back to the Future: Special Edition way before the trilogy was announced as a single disc release, then it was canceled soon after. So I don't trust anything that Amazon says.

P.S. The Jerk: Special Edition was announced as being released later this year along with other Universal movies including a re-release of BTTF.

If it's anamorphic I'll be picking it up but I wish they would release an anamorphic SE of FOTB part 2 at the same time. Both need an anamorphic transfer & if it's for the $$$ they could double their profits.
