We're hoping the release is actually anamorphic. In a worst case scenario, Universal may just be reissuing the old disc, which was labelled anamorphic but actually wasn't.

I just got off the phone with Universal, and their director of publicity told me it is in fact a new digitally remastered anamorphic widescreen transfer.

Clearly, you've never dealt with Universal before.

They have done stranger things in the past.
