    !!! wonka widescreen dvd !!! - NOT A HOAX! ARRIVING 11/13!

    I talked to Josh at WHV today, and he said that he doesn't know yet whether Cats & Dogs and also Lord Of The Rings will be in widescreen. He said that he's hoping to find out by the end of this week. I will try getting in touch with him again then.

    !!! wonka widescreen dvd !!! - NOT A HOAX! ARRIVING 11/13!

    Well, after an evening and night of speculating whether you all would forever brand me as a joker or the originator of a cruel hoax, I'm glad to see that the widescreen version is a success (and hopefully will do well in sales!). I'm off now for a weekend at The Gorge to see Dave Matthews Band...

    Please do NOT email Josh Sabarra. I mistakenly posted his email address here when we were trying to figure out if it was a hoax, and he requested this morning that his email address not be distriburted. Thank you

    I just spoke to Josh Sabarra, and he confirmed that this widescreen version is truly coming out on November 13. He didn't know how the rumors that he said he iddn't know about the press release got started. Basically, he confirmed that it was being released, and he also said that he didn't...

    I will update again tomorrow morning, after I try to call Josh again. Peter Bracke, of DVDFile, just emailed me and told me that it WAS Josh who he talked to earlier today, and that he haddn't a clue about the whole situation. I have yet to actually talk to him, as he and I have only heard...

    Well, I'm not "important" to the rest of the world, but I was the one that created, printed, and sent out the Willy Wonka DVD petition. I included my email address and phone number in the cover letter that was enclosed with the petition.

    First of all, sorry about all the duplicate posts. I was having some DNS troubles, and I never got a confirmation screen that the message was posted. Second, I have emailed and called the manager of publicity at WHV (the one that initially emailed and called me) asking if the release will be...
