I thought The Pretender 2001 was shot in 1.78:1. Odd. I hope they do a third Pretender movie to wrap things up fuinally.

I would love a 3rd Pretender movie to wrap things up. Before the show ended I had an idea for a perfect ending to the show. In the final episode/movie. Jarrod & Ms.Parker get married and together they take over the Triumphrant and in doing so control the center. But, then use the facility to help society.

March 13 is coming around the corner and I'm still hoping that both movies will be anamorphic widescreen. I haven't seen any back cover shots and hope we'll be pleasantly surprised when it finally gets released.

They won't both be anamorphic as both movies were not filmed that way.

Here is the back cover for the DVD, courtesy of DVDEmpire.com:



Hopefully Island of the Haunted will be anamorphic.

If the latter part of the series was shot 16x9, why allow The Pretender 2001 to be shot that way? (No sense crying over spilled milk, I guess.) So when I watch it at 480p, it'll be stretched horizontally on my 16x9 TV.

I got my copy today and The Island of the Haunted is anamorphic widescreen even though the back cover does not specifically state "anamorphic."

Unfortunately, The Pretender 2001 is 4:3 as mentioned previously.

Can anyone answer the following about the second movie in particular?
If the africans are in control of The Centre, why did they need to kill the two guards and break into the scroll vault?

Why are they in control, are they the major investors?
