Canadian/Alliance Fast Company 2-Disc SE?

I was at CD Warehouse the other day and I saw the Fast Company DVD... It was put out by Alliance (Which I know is a Canadian distributor for many studios) but I didn't even see a notice of "Blue Underground" anywhere on the DVD. And the covers don't really look alike. It was however a 2-disc, and had Stereo and the other one on it, but my question is... is this the right DVD? It looks different. It almost looked like an old version. Has this DVD been out in the past and it's just been re-issued now, or remastered? I wanna make sure I get the Blue Underground version and not a crappy substitute.

Thanks!

yeah that's it !!!
and what an ugly cover it is.

Anyways, if the discs are the same, that's good enough for me.

But can someone verify?

It's the same release. Alliance just licensed the title from Blue Underground for Canadian distribution (and they made their own cover art). I wish they would do this for all BU titles, because they aren't easy to find in Canada, but they probably only did it in this case because its a Canadian film.

I wish the cover art didn't suck as much as it does.
Still though, I guess it's better than nothing.

There's no DTS track on the Alliance disc and the featurettes are slightly different.

That cover is awesome. It's some of the original release artwork. I wish BU had used it...
