DVD Re-release coming April 20th!

Too bad they don't mention whether it will be in anamorphic 16x9 or if it will be the same lame transfer released in full frame...

I never personally expected special features- I think "Jaws: The Revenge" has a better shot at special features in a (Blu) reissue than this particular flying-fish movie. In fact I would wager that this is WORSE than the last two "Jaws" sequels... So why would Cameron want to revisit it for bonus materials? He's the twice-crowned King of the World now (4th Oscar or not). Better yet, why would a super-corporate company like Sony even bother to go through the trouble for a true Special Edition? This should be handed over to one of the independents; they're the only ones who'd care enough to put a decent package together.

It always stung when Universal had done two souped-up Special Eds for the first two "Jaws" films, only to then make us Jaws-fans wait a long time for the nigh-featureless 3rd (what was it, like a year or two later? It felt like forever...) and then the 4th, which had actually been put out in non-anamorphic widescreen by Goodtimes in the earliest days of the format. But re-buying JTR on DVD just to get the superior widescreen transfer felt like a cheat, much like how every half decade they (Uni) find a way to squeeze out a fresh Special Ed of the original "Jaws" (without expanding at all on the sequel editions).

So, in looking at how "Jaws 3" and "JTR" have been handled, I can only hope that the transfer is decent and the aspect ratio is correct for the oncoming "P2" DVD from Sony.

Saw a DVD copy at HMV today. Has a sticker saying "Director of AVATAR and TITANIC."

Wonder if it'll sucker anyone in?

So it looks like it's basically a re-issue of the same DVD with an extra graphic on the cover that explains it's "From the director of Avatar".
