Clockwatchers re-release?

Today I picked up the "Sundance"-emblazoned re-release disc of Clockwatchers. Just before I peeled off the shrinkwrap, my Spidey sense tingled... nowhere on the package does it indicate whether it is full frame or widescreen.

Digging around on the 'net got me nowhere, although I certainly suspect that this release is full frame (the old release was widescreen for sure, although I don't think it was anamorphic).

So, the usual questions: Anyone know for sure if it's FF or WS? Anyone know if it's actually open matte? 'Little help?

I remember somebody saying that is is exactly the same DVD as the previous release, the only difference being the Sundance logo on the new cover.

Well, I bit the bullet and opened it up.

Full-frame.

Nice to see that such a prestigious film festival as Sundance lends their name to a product that damages the appreciation of film.
