Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) Japan 16:9 DVD?
Whilst browsing Amazon Japan trying to find the Dawn of the Dead remake DVD due out in a couple of months I stumbled on a TCM release due October - which I eventually worked out to be the 2003 version, but ordered anyway due to the rather chic cover...
But before I realized it was the remake I tried to find the same disc on CDJapan to cross-reference and instead found this...

Does anyone else have any further details on this? I couldn't find any details of the disc on Amazon, and running the cat. no. through Google produced little results, though one link did again suggest that the disc is indeed going to be 16:9.
Could this really be the anamorphic remastering of this wonderful film recently completed making it's way to DVD? I sure hope so, and would be grateful indeed if anyone can clarify futher!
