Anybody know about Special Edition?

I was on amazon.com/movies a few days ago, I happened to see that 1986's The Color of Money was being released as a 25th Special Edition on Blu-Ray. I can't remember the release date right now, but I know it's soon. I was just wondering if anybody knows what special features are going to be on this edition. I hope it isn't just the trailer. Hopefully Martin Scorsese will provide an audio commentary to explain some of the more difficult shots they used while the actors were filmed playing pool. Thanks for your replies.

Scorsese isn't big on commentaries. Shutter Island & Hugo didn't have any. And his previous films that do have commentaries are for the most part made up of interviews with him. Those kind of commentaries that jump around from 5 to 7 different recording sessions. One minute you're listening to Scorsese, then you're listening to Thelma talking about the film recorded at a different time & location, & so and so on. At most, expect some small featurettes about "The Color of Money: 25 Years Later" & some short docs on Paul Newman.

The most exciting thing is a chance to see the movie in real quality. The DVD is awful.

There. It's on the Internet. Thus it's official
