Finally! I was beginning to think that this would never be reissued.

And it is ironic that this is getting a anamorphic release, while This Island Earth only rated a fullscreen one.

OH GOD, I JUST PAID $200 FOR IT ON EBAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Just kidding.

I'll be replacing my old Image disc that I must have bought 9 or 10 years ago.

EDIT: I know the link says May 8 but that's a Thursday so it's most likely the wrong date.

Universal's 2-disc German release included 'This Island Earth' as an extra; can't recall for sure if it was anamorphic or not, but I seem to think that (like the current R2 UK transfer) it was.

Nice that it's finally getting a reissue. I guess we won't be seeing any extras like the deleted scenes though.

Wasn't it DTS sound in theatrical release though?

You're right. The Digital Bits says 5/6/08, so that's surely the actual date. Can a Mod change the thread title? Thanks in advance!

This is very excellent news. this mean I can finally retire my "screener" VHS copy I permanently borrowed from the video store I worked at in high school.

"quick, lets escape under cover of afternoon in the biggest car in the county!"

Darn. And I've always felt badass since I paid $13 for it years ago just before it left the store shelves.

Yep, no more pride of ownership of another rarity. Snif.

Good for MST3K fans though.
