The cover and specs are the same as the previous edition; what gives?

The old debate about the aspect ratio is still confounding, as all of Friedkin's films on DVD are in anamorphic 1.85:1; this film, of course has never had a widescreen release and the previous DVD transfer was pretty awful.

This is a flawed film, but has some superb moments and I'd love to hear a Friedkin commentary some day.

Does anyone have any info on this re-release, if it is indeed happening?
