As we all know, the currently available blu-ray Darryl F. Zanuck's personal labor of love: The Longest Day is among the great travesties of the format's early days. Edge enhancement and heavy-handed grain removal abound.
Since we received a fantastic reissue of Patton (which was originally released day-and-date with The Longest Day in 2008) last year, and the 70th anniversary of D-Day is this coming June, I seriously hope that the title is reissued to coincide with that anniversary. Otherwise, I'll just assume Fox has forgotten about it or doesn't want to bother with a remaster.
Considering that the current edition looks so appalling, I'll be incensed with Fox if they fail to deliver on this.
