Dropped them a post on their Facebook asking them if it's the UNCUT version. Still waiting for a reply. No artwork available yet.

I know there was a pricey Japanese release a few years ago, but I balked at that because I already have a really good uncut dvd-r copy taken from an Asian laser disc source. If this WB Archive release had some cool extras on it, I might bite, but I'm sure it won't, so I'll just save my money and stick with what I have at this point.

It was the first giant monster movie of the seventies that seemed to be an attempt at making such a movie for grown-ups. I especially like when the rock dents the T-Rex's head! “The more elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.” Joseph Priestley

This is good. DVD NEWS FLASH - Keeping track of all those pending DVDs of all those Science Fiction, Horror, Fantasy and Exploitaiton movies we grew up on as kids!

It will be interesting to see what we end up with. Note this part of the R2 review on DVD Talk: "Though it aired on ABC in 4:3 standard size, the film was shot open-matte and released in Japan in a 1.85:1 ratio, or "VistaVision Size," as they call it. In Europe it may have been cropped a bit less, to 1.66:1, though this is unconfirmed. In any case, Toho's DVD is 16:9 enhanced widescreen with a 1.78:1 presentation ratio. Because it was always intended for theatrical release, the framing here is much superior to the full-frame version. There's slightly more information on the sides and less empty space at the top and bottom of the frame, giving the compositions more dynamism" www.LivingDeadDocumentary.com

It will be interesting to see what we end up with. 16 x 9 full frame means 1.78:1. In other words, widescreen. No contradiction here. I remember eagerly tuning in to the film when it aired on ABC and being incredibly disappointed. I do recall the silly scenes of the T Rex quietly sneaking up on people and then stepping on them, which seemed like some pretty odd behavior for a T Rex!

I wonder what artwork will be used. The only artwork I've ever seen is the Japanese poster art which has been utilized in one form or another for the VHS, LD and DVD releases. www.LivingDeadDocumentary.com
