Uhh... that can't be the final cover, it looks like a 12 year old did an "r00x0r e71t3" version or something. Bad photpshop job!

I don't blame you, that cover is horrid.

I hope, hope it's a slipcover.

and apparently someone young enough to not know which one is Will and which one is Gene.

I saw that to, I didn't think much of it because that cover is so god awful as it is, I let it stand and decided not to comment on it.

Could this be the worst cover art of all-time? It get's my vote.

I still hope it's a slipcover.

No, the text on the bottom is filler until they have decided EXACTLY how to word the rest of the title. That is plain block white text inserted on the cover - not gonna happen. Even with different text at the bottom, that is a TERRIBLE cover. Looks like a Superbit gone wrong.

Oh, and when did Will Smith turn into an older white man?

More info, curtesy of DVDActive:

Buena Vista Home Entertainment has announced special editions of Enemy of the State starring Will Smith and Gene Hackman, and Con Air which stars Nicolas Cage. Both discs will be available to own from the 16th May, and priced at around $19.99 a piece. Enemy of the State will include an extended cut of the film, presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen, along with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 track. Extras will include a Making of Enemy of the State featurette, an All Access: “The Showdown” Scene feature, deleted scenes, and the original theatrical trailer. The Con Air disc will also include an extended cut of the film, again presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen along with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 track. No extra material has been revealed for this one yet, but we'll let you know if we hear anything. Stay tuned.

The original releases had an aspect ratio of 2.35:1. So why is BVHE re-releasing these in 1.85:1?

I'm sure it's a slipcover (hopefully a shiny, embossed one) and the credit order and artwork for the actors almost always never lines up - that's perfectly normal. What worries me is the aspect ratio listed... these should all be 2:35...

I'm glad they are including the trailer for Enemy of the State. I liked that one.

The original cover art was great; this new one is sadly underwhelming. The special features sound okay, but make this feel like Office Space all over again. Highly anticipated, coping with delays, but ultimately rather lackluster. Hope the featurettes will be more than just fluff.

BUT WHAT IS UP WITH THE ASPECT RATIO?? ARE THEY SERIOUS?? Enemy and Con Air were filmed anamorphic; they're going to be butchered if reformatted to 1.85:1. This HAS TO BE a misprint. But if not, this will be a bust as far as I'm concerned. Won't bother with it.

Wow. First Lions Gate and now BVHE. Looks like the end of O.A.R. is coming.

I doubt that info is correct.

No OAR = no sale

DVDActive has updated their specs to reflect the correct aspect ratio (2.35:1). They checked with Buena Vista, too, so it's accurate.

LOL, what a joke cover. That better not be the final one.....

OAR = sale

Hopefully they will add DTS to these releases.

Looks like a good release date to me since I've held off on all 3 because of these upcoming re-releases.

Excellent. Figured it had to be wrong. May 16, here we come!

Glancing at reviews for the current release of Enemy. The featurettes are described as little more than extended trailers mixed with brief behind-the-scenes shots. Total fluff pieces. So hope they have done something of solid value for the new one.

--THX

Thought I'd bring this back to page 1 again. Coming out on Tuesday.

Has any change in the cover art been announced? Found this at Circuit City:

Review up now:

Looks good. Not extraordinary, not bare bones. Least it's anamorphic and has some decent extras.

Best Buy shows the same cover as Circuit City. Amazon has the one with Unrated Extended Edition emblazoned on the front. Guess we won't know what was ultimately chosen until we see it on store shelves.

--THX

As long it's anamorphic, I'm am more than satisfied, because the previous edition wasn't.

Disney is using different promotional art when they send out the specs (tvshowsondvd.com had a blurb about this for season sets, where they feature "SEASON X" really big...) they're doing it with regular releases well ...I think the art dvdtalk used art is the "promo" one and CC is the real but i'm not positive..

I liked that image of the other artwork that said special edition, with Will Smith running. It actually doesn't look like some kid made a photoshopped cover on his PC. Hehe.

There's your art. The slipcase is the same, just with a foil/reflective touch to it. The same generic "Unrated Extended Edition" bar was also on the mock up "Con Air" art, which was also not the final product.
