Man On Fire SE

According to http://www.thedigitalbits.com ....

Also, those of you who enjoyed Tony Scott's recent Man on Fire, but felt that the movie-only DVD release was a little lackluster (containing only a commentary) can rest easy. We've learned that a much more elaborate special edition is on the way from 20th Century Fox early next year. We'll give you all the details as soon as they come in.
I loved the movie. I will double dip on this one!

This had "special edition" written all over it before it ever was announced on DVD. Anybody who bought the barebones version thinking that was it get no sympathy from me. I figured a newer edition of this would be a no brainer.

I dont know if they did this is the USA or not, but i bought Man of Fire from a FutureShop here in Canada, and you get another disk in the DVD, containing all sort of featurettes and what not.

Technically its only a single-disc DVD, but really what i got here is a 2disc version pretty much.

I think i would skip a re-release unless it has lots of extras. The commentaries were good and the second disc making of was nice for free.

I bought this, but I did figure on Fox coming out with an SE down the line. I'm not too sure if I would double-dip. It would all depend on the extras and knowing Tony Scott's disc I don't think they would add too much. Who knows, I'll if and when it is announced I'll weigh my options.

On another note, I'm really getting pissed at Fox lately. They are becoming Columbia minus the superbits. I want to buy I, Robot and Day After Tomorrow, but I absolutely know Fox is going to double-dip those. I just hope it doesn't take too long.
