The Abyss - Director's Cut ----> 6/5/07
According to the amazon.com, Fox is releasing a Director's cut of the Abyss. Will it be anamorphic? The running time? Only time will tell.

My guess is this is a price drop or something....given that they already have a cover image posted which is obviously the old DVD release...and that it says the aspect is 1.33:1.

I may be reading too much into it, but it could be just a single-disc release of the Special Edition version, without any extras that were on the original. And, maybe, 16:9.

i always thought he intended the cut to be longer but the studio was what restrained him and budget.
he went back on his own a few years later to "finish" the movie the way he intended.

'Aliens' is another where the studio made him cut a lot of stuff out shortly before the theatrical release, and he did it on the promise that they would eventually release his version on home video, which they did several years after the fact.

Is it really that hard to make the 5th or 6th DVD re-release of The Abyss anamorphic? Are they holding off for an Ultimate Edition to do this? How come no other countries have this DVD as anamorphic? There are many American movies such as Armageddon, Dead Presidents, True Lies, Strange Days, Mortal Kombat, etc. that have anamorphic versions in other countries but not in the USA. Why is The Abyss non-anamorphic in every other country as well?

I am so sick and tired of these idiot companies trying to sneek these bogus rehashed old editions of the same movie. Give me a break. I'll stick to finding my DVDs used. Release day is just not fun anymore if I have to guess if the new DVD is actually NEW!! Wow, what a concept.
