Cronenberg fans will be pleased to see that a Special Edition of RABID is scheduled for the 11th of May, although the only noteworthy extra is a commentary by the director.
Yeah, it's a new transfer. The old one looked like it came from a 16mm print someone found in their basement. I think the only film missing from the Cronenberg canon is now "M. Butterfly" (after this and the release of "Fast Company" on April 27th.)
Really? That's weird. Cronenberg has said he's not going to contribute to his DVDs unless he gets to approve the transfers, so what's up with this? DDD of course is already backordered on this title even though I preordered it a month ago.
I can confirm it's non-anamorphic. Disappointing, but the print itself looks pretty good.
I picked up the last copy at my local Best Buy yesterday at lunch. The kid at the register said he'd already sold 4 of them and was wondering what the movie was.
