Does anybody know if the upcoming re-release of "Grumpy Old Men" will be in anamorphic Widescreen, or even widescreen at all?

According to the recent Warner Home Video chat at HTF, yes, GRUMPY OLD MEN and its sequel, GRUMPIER OLD MEN, will be in anamorphic widescreen.

when does it come out?

Not soon enough for me! I really want to pick this up and have the 1st film in Widescreen.

It's due on August 22nd 2006.

It's double-sided. Doesm't seem to be any sort of a SE.

Unless WB has changed their policy with these double feature discs, the odds are 70-30 that both are still full frame.

And get this double-bill for little more than a song at DDD.

I can now finally buy these movies....!!

Foolscreen was stopping me for so long!

Good to know it's finally widescreen. Went ahead and preordered at DDD. Too bad it's double-sided though, but that'll have to do - these movies are just too damn fun.

BAD NEWS:



Unless that cover is wrong, these are the same shitty 1.33:1 open-matte transfers from before.

Glad I held onto my snappers, though I am not to surprised Warner messed this up. As for Warner, they missed the boat here by being cheap and taking the dvds from the snappers instead. Nobody will upgrade at all now! I still hope that may be an unrevised image, but I doubt it!

What the hell. I gave away my snapper versions thinking that they new versions would be widescreen.

they said they wanted to do it...they didn't say this would be it...i have a feeling it will be like the ace venturra release when it does happen...that type of banner and all

I've just confirmed that both are full-screen.

Have a nice day.

Well this is a most worthwhile DVD release.

"You'll guffaw down laughing"?

Was that actually the tagline?

Ugh. Waste o time.

Dammit! Well, time to cancel my order...

I'lll take this opportunity to remind everyone WB's site listed the re-release of American President as 16:9....that was hardly the case

And to think I almost gave away the nice box set that includes both dvds from the previous release. Even though they are foolscreen, my family watches these movies more than most in the entire dvd collection. What a shame WB!

why are they doing this to me!!!!!

I really want those movies now!!

They are working on another release that will be 16:9.

The info is posted on Home Theater Forum.

We have to wait a little longer for the anamophic versions, which I can handle. I would be pissed if I had this pre-ordered.

If you think about it this makes more sense than Warner giving us 2 16x9 transfers of 2 classic movies at such a low price, it seemed to perfect to be true which is why I was so excited about this release intially. However Warner deserves major heat for false marketing again on the peoples behalf, I can't believe they get away with this crap and now many people have to cancel any preorders or have given away their snappers of the 2 movies. Warner get it right the 1st time will you, this looks so unprofessional on Warners part it hurts.
