Any word on Patton 2 Disc re-release?
Seeing as Fox has been re-releasing some of its OOP 2 disc sets, I was wondering if anyone out there heard about Fox re-releasing it.

I hope not. The original two disc Patton divided the film onto the two discs. That is hardly necessary at this point. However, a special edition of Patton would be nice.

I would hope with the recent releases of all their 2 disc sets, Fox will get around to putting this one back on the shelves. If it happens, I imagine it will be in a 2-disc digipak with a spine number.

Yes, the film is on Disc 1. If I recall, the set was pulled at least partly because it contained Jerry Goldsmith's isololated score for the film and there were some rights issues with it. Excellent set by the way. If you are a fan of the film, I highly recommend tracking down a copy.

FYI, the 2-disc is still in the World War II collection (AFAIK.) The box set includes The Thin Red Line (with the Melanesian songs,) The Longest Day, and Tora! Tora! Tora! (although the special edition is better.) I think it has had a price reduction to 39.99 or so.
I bought one of these and traded out Tora! Tora! Tora! (since I already had the special edition.)

In my box set, The Thin Red Line, Tora! Tora! Tora!, and Patton (I think) were all shrinkwrapped, while The Longest Day was not shrinkwrapped, and had a blank area where the UPC would go.
I returned Tora! Tora! Tora! and The Thin Red Line to a B&M, but I had to wait until after last Christmas, since I didn't have receipts for them.
Funny thing, I got ~$25 store credit for the Thin Red Line because I was thinking I wanted the DTS version, but then I decided I wanted the Melanesian songs version instead, and I just found it a couple of weeks ago for $10.
