My prayers have been answered "The Thing" in Anamorphic
I was checking Universal's website and behold
http://homevideo.universalstudios.co...10%2F01%2F2004 October 5th Looks the same as last one, no DTS darn. |
-eek- Please, please, please, please, please be true.
|
was the other non-anamorphic?
|
This being Universal, I won't believe this until I'm actually watching the disc on my system.
But this is (tentatively) great news. |
From DVDTimes:
Universal Studios Home Video have announced the Region 1 DVD release of John Carpenter's The Thing for 5th October 2004 with a retail price of $19.98. Arriving as part of the promotional push Universal are giving several horror titles alongside the debut of Dawn of the Dead (2004), the big news here is that rather than a simple re-release, fans will at long last get John Carpenter's classic in anamorphic widescreen! Features on this new set look largely the same as the current special edition, bar that new anamorphic widescreen transfer... • 2.35:1 Anamorphic Widescreen • English DD5.1 Surround • French Dolby Surround • English, French and Spanish subtitles • John Carpenter's The Thing: Terror Takes Shape • Feature Commentary with Director John Carpenter and Kurt Russell • Production Background Archives • Cast Production Photographs • Production Art and Storyboards • Location Design • Production Archives • The Saucer • The Blairmonster • Outtakes • Post Production • Theatrical Trailer We'll bring you a look at the artwork soon... |

Oh. God. Yes.
|
dont own a 16:9 TV...dont care...love the current disc... :D
|
You've gotta be f'ing kidding me!
:johnwoo: I mean :) |
GREAT news, WOOOOOOOOOO!!!
|
The disc I own now says it's anamorphic. I don't have a 16:9 set so I can't check it. Was there some kind of mislabel?
I got mine for free from some promotion from Gamestop. It came in a clear jewel case, but the disc say anamorphic. |
Awesome news. I have been waiting a long time for this. :up:
|
:eek: i'm.... wetting.... myself.... :eek:
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! |

The latest run of "The Thing" was mislabeled. The Jacket was correct and just said "widescreen", but the disc itself, said Anamorphic. I got in an argument a while back and won by buying the thing just to prove someone wrong, I sold it again. Universal got an E-mail from me about once a month. This is my favorite movie of all time, sorry Im a John Carpenter nut. I begged them for an Anamorphic version of "The Thing". They always use to put me off, but the last reply was not so negative. I had a feeling this may come up soon. I was hopping mad for a while that I would get Star Wars on DVD (my second favorite film) before a decent version of "Thing". Now I just have to wait a couple of weeks. Now what do I do? I have over 400 DVD's that filled the void for not having Star Wars or Thing. I may actually have to stop buying so many of them. Wait, nahh... |
:up:
|
Yay! I'll be upgrading for sure.
|
I'm not surprised, since the current disc has been out of print for a while now.
Glad to see they're porting over all of the extras, and I hope they keep the same cover art. |
This new anamorphic edition will <b>definitely not</b> have a chapter list or the theatrical trailer.(even though DVDTimes lists the trailer).
|
I'm fine with my current disc, no need to buy it again.
|
*faints*
Oh okay, Im fine now. I am soooo happy this is finally coming. I have watched my non-16x9 copy at least 50 times since it originally came out. Time to retire it and get me a new one! |
So what are the other horror titles they are going to push with Dawn of the Dead?
|
I'll buy for the Anamorphic transfer. Hopefully we will get DTS this time too.
|
I doubt a DTS will be present
|
SWEET... I've been holding out on this forever...finally I can buy it!
