October Sky and Backbeat SE's on the way
From DVDanswers.com
Universal has announced special editions of October Sky which stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Laura Dern and Chris Cooper and Backbeat which stars Sheryl Lee, Stephen Dorff and Ian Hart. Both will be available to own from the 25th January next year, and should retail at around $14.98. I'm afraid we have no details on October Sky yet, but we can confirm that Backbeat will include an all-new digitally remastered transfer and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround track. We'll bring you further details on both of these new releases shortly, but for now, here's the first look at artwork for Backbeat. We'll bring you artwork for October Sky shortly:

This has to be one of the fastest double-dips on a catalog title. I picked up Backbeat last year cuz I didn't think there would be another release anytime soon. If all the extras are ported over, maybe I should get rid of mine now and pick up the new on in January. I don't know though. It's weird that it's getting a re-release. It's not exactly a huge mainstream hit or anything.
With a retail price of $14.95 though, I might just be a sucker.

My Mom just got the VHS copy, why I dont know. Maybe I'll get her the Special Ed. for her birthday. I only saw this once but from what I can recall it was a good movie.

audio commentary with Homer Hickam,
I do hoped that they would put the theatrical poster into the cover instead of these floating heads, but the movie is great anyway so I don't care.

Finally I got to listen to Hickam commentary and it was very informative and entertaining. A great movie with a great commentary. What else could you expect?
