Well, you have to figure it's only a matter of time... When that will be is the question.
What I know > There's been no official announcement of a new Kubrick set.
Yet.
From that thread > "Of course, none of the Kubrick films had been presented in anamorphic before."
Oh really... Could've fooled me (2001: ASO).
I will not be surprised, at all, when and if this happens...

I would be pissed, I've quad-dipped on one Kubrick title (strangelove) and tripled on Eyes wide shut, and doubled on the box set in it's current incarnation...Just leave the damn things alone!

This guy obviously knows what he's talking about:
What's his Warner Home Video inside source? The janitor?
I know that Kubrick wanted those films to be presented full-frame, but from what I was told, they could still be presented in anamorphic, but just window-paned at 1.33:1.
some movies were shot in 1.33:1. But, from I was told, they can encode the discs to be anamorphic and still present them in 1.33, at a higher resolution.

I'd be all over a new Kubrick box set since I do not own any of the current set. I do have 2001: ASO and A Clockwork Orange in the silver book like gift sets with senitypes though.
I think Warner should have got it right the last time when they re-issued Kubricks movies with new transfers. People who own the current set may be a bit miffed and upset since this would be the third progression of all of Kubricks movies. I know a couple people who bought the original set and then had to upgrade to the remastered set. Just imagine triple dipping on a third box set!

I am sort of amblivalant to this. On the one hand I would love to have some of his films in widescreeen on the orther Kubrick clearly wanted his films presentes as they are now. I hope they at least work with the cameramen, producers etc. like the previous release and get an approval from the Kubrick estate.

Isn't the new version of Dr. Strangelove in anamorphic? Anyway, if WB can improve on the versions that are out there, for all the movies, I would be more than happy do buy it again, even though, like many of you, I have bought most of them two or three times before. Definitely would like to see some pretty anamorphic transfers.
