The Edge new release / ?anamorphic
Does anyone know if the new release today of the film 'The Edge' with Alec Baldwin and Anthony Hopkins is anamorphic or not? I have the previous letterboxed non anamorphic edition and would be happy to upgrade if it is. Thanks-

I assume you're talking about the DVD? I looked on Amazon and all I see are the older ones. The only new one coming out is the Blu-ray, in which case is the proper 16x9 transfer.

DVDEmpire has a new release of SD version released on 5/11 but does not list it as anything! Usually they are pretty good at listing anamorphic titles. I checked IMDB and they didn't show a listing for the new release- I am still searching for an answer before I upgrade as I want this title in 16 X 9!

Who knows. Could be a simple re-release of the same disc just with a new cover and lower SRP. Wouldn't be the first time for Fox. BTW, I looked at DVD Empire and it says Full Screen for it, not that it means anything...

Re: The Edge new release / ?anamorphic
Just picked up THE EDGE on Blu-ray. This film has never looked better, and it's worth getting even though it has NO extras.
However, there is a problem which pretty much pisses me off. The very end scene prior to the credits fades to black a bit prematurely on the Blu-ray, compared to the standard DVD and most broadcasts I've seen of the movie. It matters because the ending close-up of the main character has some emotional resonance, which is now forever lost on Blu-ray. If you enjoyed the movie, you'll know what I'm talking about.
