Is there another R1 Taxi Driver release on the horizon?
If I missed a Taxi Driver thread my apologies and mods/admin can lock, but I searched back pretty far and saw nothing relevant. I ask the question in the thread title because I am tempted to buy the R3 Superbit, but $40 is a lot for me to spend on a DVD if a good R1 release is coming soon.

A couple months ago, some Brazilian site said that Sony was releasing a special edition of Taxi Driver in July. Doesn't mean it's gonna be released here, but maybe...

I was pretty sure I had read, in the recent months, that they were doing a Special Edition with the Criterion commentary.
However, I confess, I can't find that info now, or remember where I saw it.

Seeing as this is one of my favorite Scorcese flicks I'll happily double dip for a new release. I just hope it's not called something lame, like the "Suck on This" edition or something.

On the last release, the size of the movie portion is less than 4 GB large. While I thought it was a good release, the movie could benefit from it's own disc.
