Any Chance Of A "Somewhere In Time" Re-release?

Just curious if anyone has heard anything rumors or otherwise on this. Frankly the existing "special edition" looks horrible. I have no gripe about the extras, but this is an earlier special edition and the extras seem to be all they bothered working with when putting this double dip out. The picture is soft and grainy- actually I think it looks like crap on a decent video setup- and the sound is just okay. This is one of those guilty pleasure type movies for me and I'd sure like to own a copy that's better than what Region 1 offers us. Also, if anyone knows of a better looking copy from a different region I'd love to have the input. Thanks in advance!

I haven't heard a thing about an upgrade here. Count me in though. This is one of my favorite "chick flicks"

It definitely needs a re-release. Pretty sad that they released the "special edition" with a non-anamorphic transfer at a time when anamorphic tranfers had pretty much become the norm.


The picture quality is probably one of the worst releases out there for a major studio special edition release. It's one of the only movies I still have that is non-anamorphic but I will keep it until they release a new one. I never fail to shed tears when watching this movie.

This is one of those guilty pleasure type movies for me Why a "guilty pleasure"? It's a great movie.

I've almost picked up the current version several times, but since it is a crap non-anamorphic version I just can't do it.

If Universal puts out a new Anamorphic version I'll buy it in a heartbeat!

Why a "guilty pleasure"? It's a great movie.

It's always seemed to have it's share of detractors who see it as being a flawed movie; I think more people may respect it these days due to Reeve's passing. I've loved it since seeing it on cable in the early 80's, and was already a fan of Richard Matheson the writer because of I Am Legend and some of his sci-fi television writing. Having such a huge cult following you would think they'd find an angle to re-release this all cleaned up and anamorphic.

This is my all-time favorite movie. Don't know if it will ever get re-released on DVD, but I'm guessing there's a good chance it will go anamorphic for it's HD release whenever those players finally arrive.
