THX 1138 on Blu Ray - Release Date!

[OMM0000]

Amazon has updated with a release date of September 7.  Getting closer!!

Unfortunately there isn't any more info on what will be included on this disc.  I for one am hoping that they don't wuss out and that the "old" version will be on here, even if its not full HD.

I do wish they'd used the art from the single-disc dvd release, it's so much better.

Of course I love my 2-disc dvd, and can't wait for the blu-ray, but I always wanted that single-disc art...

I think we are once again out of luck getting the theatrical version on the Blu-ray.

It appears that we are getting an HD upgrade version of the 2-disc DVD set. Amazon now has a picture of the box with the features listed on the back:

-- Commentary with George Lucas and Walter Murch
-- Theater of Noise Experience: Isolated Sound Effects Track
-- Master Sessions: Docupod Gallery Showcasing Murch's Pioneering Work
-- 2 Documentaries: "A Legacy of Filmmakers: The Early Years of American Zoetrope" and "Artifact from the Future: The Making of THX 1138"
-- Electronic Labyrinth THX 1138 4EB: Lucas's Original Student Film
-- Vintage Production Featurette BALD
-- Theatrical Trailers
