I still don't completely understand the difference between anamorphic and non-anamorphic. |

The great dvdanswers.com has menu shots up now. Looks like this confirms the only changes are the new cover art (ugh) and the transfer. Those menus are the same as the original release.

Love this movie, but as I don't have a 16:9 TV, I don't need this new DVD.
If there are any other improvements, however, I might get it. Besides, I like the new cover art :) |
I finally saw the recut TV version last night on TNT. It had the voice overs for each character giving background info. It was very intresting to see. While I prefer the original version, it would have been nice to have that extra character info in text form or something. Anyone else seen this TV version?
|
My god, that new art is horrendous. Well, life's too short to get worked up over stuff like this. I just wished these studio hacks had at least some taste.
|
Not a huge fan of the new artwork... Really wish I would have hung on to the old edition now, for the cover art and the insert. I may have to pick up a used copy for cheap at some point and swap em' out.
|
Whats the chance the artwork we see is a slipcover, and that inside is maybe something like what the current release has? The 3D pic of the cover doesnt look like a keepcase, more like a slipcover or digipak.
|
Can't think of any Universal releases that have a slipcover...
Anyone? |
The new <i>Duel</i> disc has a slipcover as did <i>The Rundown</i>, if I remember correctly.
|
Universals DVD site still says: Digipak with Slip Sleeve
So it must be coming that way... |
Cool... back on page 2 when the artwork was posted I mentioned it looked like a slipcover.
Now that I'll have a widescreen TV soon, having movies anamorphically (is that a word?) will definately become an issue. :up: to this release. |
I have watched the current disc at least 50 times since getting it back in 98-99, whenever it came out. It has been driving me crazy that I cant watch one of my fav horror movies in 16x9. I cant wait to get the new disc and see it in all its enhanced for widescreen glory! Thankfully I still have the old disc just in case I want to keep the cover and insert.

Originally posted by Rammsteinfan Thankfully I still have the old disc just in case I want to keep the cover and insert. Isolated scores have slowly been disappearing as a bonus feature on DVDs over the past few years. On top of that, no special-edition re-release of a DVD that previously had an isolated score has ever repeated that feature. That includes other titles from Universal, such as The Mummy and Field of Dreams, which dropped their isolated scores when they were re-released in revamped special editions.

Oh damn, your right... that may be a reason to hold onto it just for kicks. I would have forgotten about it and its on of my fav dvd's. hehe, how silly do I feel? ;)

Originally posted by HyPyke You must not have a widescreen set. For people on 4:3 sets, even those with an "anamorphic mode", The difference may be negligable, but I can assure you if you do ever upgrade to a 16x9 set you will want the new version. Originally posted by rasalas And the "easter egg" isolated score. It's highly unlikely that it will be reproduced on the new DVD. Isolated scores have slowly been disappearing as a bonus feature on DVDs over the past few years. Personally I reckon this'll pan out to be yet another non anamorphic re-release, Universal won't cover the costs of a new transfer. It would only only appeal to me if it also came with dts and dropped the extras for max PQ. |
Originally posted by aam1 But this score is on the extras only - never heard of that on any other film. Personally I reckon this'll pan out to be yet another non anamorphic re-release, Universal won't cover the costs of a new transfer. |
Is the definite release 10/26? because I saw one reputable site as 10/5. Thanks for answer.
|
... and Columbia House doesn't seem to be listing it at all (they still have the old release only). Strange.

So is the only difference the anamorphic picture? all the other extras: the commentaries by John and Kurt, the featurette, the outtakes all seem to be on the old one as well. can anyone confirm?

The Thing was on Voom in HD this weekend.
Damn, it looked good! Can't wait to upgrade my disc! :) |
