that old image disc was fullscreen anyway, but with MCA not releasing hardly any back catalog titles this year, it doesn't look like it will be re-issued anytime soon.

TCM has been showing it Widescreen lately. Universal only seems to be releasing thier catalogue titles in sets lately so I am not sure how they would include this title.

I vote for a Nicol Williamson box set! Let's see, Seven Percent Solution, a new SE Excalibur, and anything else not currently available that has him in a major role (ownership be damned ;-) ). Looks like he hasn't appeared on film since Spawn back in 1997? Strange that he resurfaced in that kind of film only to disappear again; no? Too bad Lucas couldn't see his way clear to making him a Sith Lord or something... A very interesting actor who I'd like to see in more screen performances (assuming that he is still around)!

I was going to add a Merlin quote from Excalibur, but there are too many good ones to choose from; viva Merlin!

Too bad Universal doesn't do double feature discs. This title would go great with THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS.

Christopher,

check him out in the little seen THE RECKONING which I enjoyed, and INADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE or LAUGHTER IN THE DARK? He is great as a lead in all of them.

And it was of overall poor quality to boot - I own a copy. IIRC this was Universal's very first DVD, released through Image as though Universal was just testing the waters of DVD. I've given up ever seeing a better DVD though.

You might improve your chances of seeing it on DVD by voting on TCM's website:

Hey, it can't hurt.

I'd love to see a decent release of this as well.

I've been watching the laserdisc for years (full screen as well), but I'll burn a DVD-R the next time TCM shows it widescreen.

Another year has passed and still no Seven Percent Solution in any decent transfer.

Re: Any rumors on The Seven Percent Solution ever making it to DVD?

I occasionally look for the Seven Percent Solution on DVD and was surprised when I plugged it in to amazon.co.uk and they were selling it for £4.98. I purchased a copy right away! It is a region 2 dvd but I imagine they'd have it in region 1 as well. Also, if you have a multi-region dvd player this shouldn't be a problem.
