THX "Bounty" trailer anywhere?

In 2003, THX made a new theatrical trailer to celebrate it's 20th anniversary:

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., October 7, 2003 - To commemorate its 20th anniversary and celebrate its achievements in the cinema industry, THX Ltd. announced today that it is launching a new theatrical trailer in THX Certified Cinemas worldwide. Developed by some of the most respected names in visual effects and sound design, the new THX trailer incorporates sound clips from memorable moments in motion pictures of the last 20 years. The trailer will be distributed to THX Certified Cinemas starting this fall.

"THX cinema trailers have become tremendously popular among moviegoers. Audiences anxiously await our signature ‘Deep Note’ crescendo; it creates a sense of anticipation and eagerness for the feature presentation,” said Ann Brighouse, director of marketing at THX Ltd. "This, the 11th cinema trailer we’ve produced, is especially memorable because it celebrates our achievements in the film and entertainment industry, and recognizes how we’ve improved the presentation quality of many great films over the past 20 years."

To create the 20th anniversary trailer, THX assembled a team of visual effects artists and sound designers from the world of feature filmmaking. They included Gary Rydstrom, the seven-time Academy Award® winning sound designer; Van Ling, the renowned visual effects supervisor and DVD producer; and Steve Boeddeker, a sound designer from Skywalker Sound. Working with THX, the team conceptualized the visuals and selected the 17 clips for the trailer from thousands of potential sound clips. The result is a treat for the senses. The heart-pumping montage of sound clips, drawn from some truly great moments in filmmaking, peaks with the THX "Deep Note."

"Sound designer Gary Rydstrom’s idea was to go back to the roots of THX in film sound presentation, and create an audio montage of movie moments that would stir one's memories and emotions," said Van Ling. "Creating supportive visuals to the sound mix—rather than the other way around—gave us a chance to show the evocative power of sound and how THX has been there to help reflect the filmmakers' vision to the audience."
Does anyone know if this was used on any DVD releases, or if there are any plans to do so?

You can download most of the THX trailers on their website, but "Bounty" is not available:

Odds are that will end up like the WOW! trailer and be somewhat difficult to find since there are many different distributors attached to the films used.

That's pretty much what I'm thinking. Hopefully it will be available to certified dealers in the future in something like the "THX Ulimate Demo Disc".

I never actually saw it (since Reno is a shithole one horse town without a THX system). Are they just audio clips, or do they have the video as well?

It is just the sound clips, and it is a fairly short spot but it sounds amazing. I've only seen it at the Century Theater cinemas before, and never at any other theater.
