I wonder how accurate that is. I could have sworn they were dropping the DTS on the new versions, as discussed in another thread on this same topic.

I thought this was a decent low budget sci-fi film. Other than this being the director's cut, will this release have any extra stuff, or is it just a simple repackaging of the old DVD, sort of like the Lions Gate Signature Series?

Wait, when "Pitch Black" was first released on DVD, wasn't there two versions? A bloodier "director's cut" and the theatrical cut? Is the new DVD going to be the same as the "bloodier" cut??

Yes there is a 'bloodier cut' (I own it) and I don't know whether this version will contain that or not.

This is simply a marketing ploy that I will not succumb to. I have the original Unrated version and am perfectly fine with that.

I assume this will come with a free ticket to the sequel, but does anyone know if the re-release has a new transfer?

The pictures shown at DVD pricesearch, Digital Eyes, and DDD all show a free movie ticket advertised on the front cover. HOWEVER, the descriptions at all those sites plus at DVD Empire list only DD 5.1. No DTS is mentioned.

Well, since I never picked the current (or OOP) version up, I'll be buying this one.

Can anybody say "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark"? Spare me. Cover is horrid. New features look to be just fluff for sequel/prequel (?have we figured that out yet?). Loved the film, kind of dreading the next, holding on to the version I have now.

What's next, "Boba Fett and the Empire Strike Back?"

This is one movie I haven't picked up yet so I'll be happy to get this with the nice bonus of a free ticket to the sequel.

No thanks. I'll stick with the original unrated edition. The movie was good, but not that good, even if it had more extras I wouldn't buy it again.

so basically, this is the same as the original "Unrated Director's Cut" with the same transfer and audio, but a couple more extras and new cover and that is it, correct? seems that way...
