Is the new JFK 2-disc edition really new?
I've noticed that there's yet another "special" edition of my all-time favorite flick, JFK, coming out 11.11.03. I'm wondering if this 2-disc edition is going to really contain anything new at all, or is it just a repackaging of the 2-disc special edition that came out with the Oliver Stone Collection (also sold separately, I believe). I suspect that it's just a repackaging.
Sorry if there's already a thread on this somewhere. I tried to do a search, but the search engine here only allows for words at least 4 characters in length! Hence, it was impossible to search for the phrase "JFK!"
Anyone know the lowdown on this so-called "special edition?" Looking at the specs on Amazon.com, I think it's just a repackaging. But, the new packaging (not a snapper, with the second disc tucked away inside the fold) might be worth the purchase anyhow.
Thanks,
Aaron

i think i'll be picking this up and giving my dad my snapper version since he couldn't care less about the packaging.
Finally this morning, and speaking of Warner, the studio has sent word that they're planning on re-releasing Oliver Stone's JFK on 11/11 (MAP $19.95). This 2-disc JFK: Special Edition will include the film in anamorphic widescreen video with Dolby Digital 5.1 audio (the 205 minute cut). Also included will be the Beyond JFK feature-length documentary, 12 extended/deleted scenes and audio commentary with director Oliver Stone. We believe that this is basically the same disc as before, simply with the addition of the documentary.

I don't plan on picking it up because I grabbed the single disc edition when it first came out, then I got rid of that when I picked up the Oliver Stone boxed set. I am very happy with the 2-disc edition in the boxed set so I will stick with that rather than buy the same movie for the third time only for a documentary.

This will be the third version of JFK I'll have. This would normally suck, except that I got the first free as part of a online "Buy $25 worth of DVD's, get one free from a select list" and that was the only worthy one on there. The second I got for Christmas. That means I'll gladly pay the money to get this edition, hopefully the definitive version until HD-DVD comes along.

Any updates? I wouldn't find getting rid of my snapper case, but I could probably just as easily download a scan of the first 2-disc cover and but a case for them to go in.

Isn't that a "conspiracy" day of some stripe? There has to be some kind of numerology going on with that date.
