The question is whether or not it's the same crappy fullscreen version Universal shat out previously. Amazon and Pricesearch didn't have any info for it yet...
"You maniacs! You blew it up! Damn you! God damn you all to hell!!"
I never heard of any re-release coming out, and none has materialized since your post. All that's available is the same old lousy p&s version. I'm not hopeful about Universal ever bringing out a proper 2.35:1 print of this. I bought an R2 widescreen DVD and it's fine, though obviously you need a Region 0 DVD player to watch it in the US. (The other question is why Universal did a w/s version in Britain but only a p&s disc in America. The same with Charley Varrick and other titles released under the one-shot label "Universal Selections" in America, all of which were issued in crummy p&s formats in the States but for some reason were produced in their proper aspect ratios abroad.)
