As I closed my post above... I am GLAD as can be that this is indeed a legit company and if they release the product as stated I will be in heaven!!
And the long-awaited The Final Countdown: Special Edition from Blue Underground is also available to pre-order on Amazon. It's due to be released on March 23rd, and will include both anamorphic widescreen and full frame video, as well as Dolby Digital 5.1 EX and DTS 6.1 ES audio. Extras are TBD. Watch the Blue Underground site for more on this.
Did a quick search and didn't see anything on this, which surprises me since you guys are usually all over announcements.Yep, I was all over that Amazon listing 2 months ago! :wink:
Can anyone confirm that the new release will be anamorphic?...the specs imply that it will be, but it does not actually say so anywhere.Yes, it will. As the announcement on their website stated:
"THE FINAL COUNTDOWN will be presented with new THX-approved 16x9/2.35:1 and 4x3/1.33:1 high-definition transfers and state-of-the-art 6.1 DTS-ES and 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround EX soundtracks.
The "16x9" spec indicates anamorphic. Blue Underground is doing a brand-new HD transfer from an original negative, so I really doubt they'd make it non-anamorphic.
