12 Monkeys SE - 5/10/05
This sounds just like the previous release. Only Universal...

Universal has announced a re-release of the 12 Monkeys special edition which stars Bruce Willis, Brad Pitt and Madeline Stowe. The disc will be available to own from the 10th May this year, and should set you back somewhere in the region of around $14.98. The film itself will be presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen along with both English and French Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks. DVD extras will include an audio commentary with Director Terry Gilliam and Producer Charles Roven, a making of feature entitled The Hamster Factor and Other Tales of 12 Monkeys, a feature entitled 12 Monkeys Archives, production notes and the films theatrical trailer.

The original version had a solo commentary from Terry Gilliam, and the "12 Monkeys Archives" feature is new...maybe it's a featurette made up of the deleted scenes that we've been hearing about for years.

And the "12 Monkeys Archives" are actually listed on the insert of the original version but they are not on the actual DVD.

I have to question (once again) the logic over at Universal...
Take a movie that has been in-print since pretty much the dawn of DVD. Take it out of print very briefly... not enough time for any sort of real demand to build up (you can still find this for 8 or 10 bucks all over eBay, etc.) Then reissue it right away, with the same features, for a dirt cheap MSRP.
How, exactly, does this make any sense?

probably will pass on this. not that much different I believe from the previous release, which I already have.
Thanks for the news though.

I guess the attempt to get people to double dip sucks however ill probably buy this version because i havent had a chance to pick up the original 12 monkeys dvd and now it looks like there is no need to.

I'm with SvenL...I just wonder where I'll find an online reviewer kind enough to proactively check these issues of concern for us before street date...
