New Stand By Me?
DVD Answers has this article up:
Early details have begun to emerge on a new collector's edition of Stand By Me which stars Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Jerry O'Connell, Kiefer Sutherland and John Cusack. The new edition of this Rob Reiner directed film, will arrive in shops from the 22nd March, priced at around $24.96. The two-disc package will include the CD soundtrack, a collectible booklet along with a director's commentary, a Walking the Tracks: The Summer of Stand By Me featurette, a music video and more. We hope to bring you further details on this one, including a look at the artwork, shortly. Make sure you stay tuned for that.
Other than the soundtrack and the booklet, isn't this exactly the same as the previous release?

This sounds exactly like the last release, except they have included the CD and booklet. I still don't know why they don't do a group commentary of all the kids for this one, ala Goonies. Reiner's commentary is a bit dull.

I haven't seen any mention on Wil's site. It would be cool if he does post here.
I just finished his book Just a Geek. A really great read. He's a funny guy and a good writer.

I mean yeah, you could do it with the other three, but it would seem like it was missing something.

Where's the deleted scenes? The outtakes? This is from 1986, not 1956 - surely stuff hit the cutting room floor? Surely Reiner didn't get everything he wanted perfectly the first time he shot the scenes? Could he have?

The isolated soundtrack contains the orchestral music composed for the film. The soundtrack CD didn't contain any of these tracks. It's all the 50's source music.
And I'm kinda happy it's just this type of re-release. I just bought the superbit off of ebay and can't wait to hear the remastered DTS track. It's supposed to sound very good.

i hate these re packs....new content on the disc would be great, but the books are cheese and most soundtracks i want i already own...the price point just doesn't merit this....oh well, the movie is a good one....like to see some new artwork

Besides, what does that have to do with this new version of Stand By Me?
