This is such good news... Among other things, it gives me hope for an OAR The Last Emperor (which makes great sense since I just pulled the trigger on the Criterion Blu-ray release during the B&N sale figuring it would be the best we get for many, many years).
That would be where my money would be, too. Since Criterion released a cropped version of The Last Emperor (at Vittorio Storaro's behest), I would suspect the same will be true here.
