I would appreciate any (serious) news about this re-release as well. This month's release had "back-stabbing double-dip" written all over it, so I didn't pick it up.

If I can find a used U.S. copy of this on the cheap I'm all over it.

Yep. I got home before I saw the lack of special features. This has double-dip written all over it. Mine is still sealed, I am still debating whether or not to return it. I have never seen it, so I am up in the air.

it's going to be released as a "Criterion Collection" (there were several threads about this long ago), so obviously there will be many more extras to come.

UK retailers originally listed two versions: a single disk, and a 2-disk Special Edition. So I'm sure the content is there for a re-release.
I wonder if Paramount's acquiring of Dreamworks had anything to do with the seemingly rushed nature of this release.
