Great Movie! Features haven't been announced just yet, but artwork is shown.

That's fantastic! The artwork sucks, but I've come to expect that. I'll just keep the box from my original version.

I hope it comes out on HD-DVD. When I buy it, I'll charge it to Mr. Underhill's credit card.

As expected with Universal, we have some truly craptacular artwork, and yet another round in the ludicrously named SE game (Jane Doe).

Regardless, it's obviously time to hit ebay sometime soon and dump my OOP release.

Yea, what's up with the "edition" names? Holy Schnike edition, Don't Call Me Shirley edition, etc. Just call it the "We released a crap, bare bones edition the first time around and now we added a few things and will charge you more for it" edition.

By the way, I still have yet to see "Spies Like Us" in widescreen. Hello? How about getting these some of these titles somewhat close to modern technology. Some of us have 52" screens to fill!

YES!!!! I purchased my Fletch DVD from the $4.88 Universal display at Wal*Mart on the night that Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith came out on DVD. I opened it and watched it.

Flash forward to 3 months ago... As a joke, I listed it on Half.Com for $99.

IT SOLD! I could not have timed that more perfectly...

What could make this any better than the current edition?

This is great news... I've been waiting for this forever. This is one of my all-time favorite comedys!

Finally, it gets the treatment it deserves.

Both films in a boxset would have been really cool!

I don't like the cover and the "edition" name but I'm glad that is being re-released.

Sold my old copy last month for $60 on ebay. The cover art looks like it's from the one sheet except they added the white background. The "Jane Doe" reference is really obscure if haven't seen the movie.

Awesome news. Fletch is my favorite character of all time. I love the books and the films, after waiting forever for Fletch Lives I never thought we'd get this. I will buy it no matter what, but here's hoping for a Chevy Chase or Gregory Mcdonald commentary. Unfortunately we lost Michael Ritchie. They could also get Kevin Smith to do it, he seems to like doing commentaries.

OMG, the inflated eBay prices only have a few more months to go! , it's kind of like watching the stock market go up and down. When this is released, they will take a permanent hit. The artwork is kind of dull, the tag "Jane Doe" is corny. Still, glad this is being re-released and hopefully with better video quality. Though, I don't mind the OOP versions transfer, it's quite watchable.

I could care less about the coverart.... I'm sure someone will create a cool custom for it. Unless its a slipcase...

I'm just glad they are finally giving it a special edition.

You mean the original? It's been with the movie since day one, so to me that is the cover art. The only good thing I can say about the SE art is that it kept the photo from the poster, but that white background and new title logo have got to go.

do you think there would be any reason whatsoever to keep the original release?

Not really. The original was pretty barebones, albeit with a decent anamorphic transfer.
