I believe Keith is covering this title.
Look out for it soon.

Is this movie (U.K. version) framed at 1:33 as DVDActive claim or 1:78 as the U.S. review sites are stating?

As much as I loathe to link to the site, the screenshots here would seem to indicate 1.78:1. They don't usually crop their caps, but you never know.

Was I right to get the US version?
Presumably Warner have shortchanged the UK again and not included the 48 page book packaging?

One of my all time favourite films, saw it at the pics yesterday but the quality looked like an old video, definitely not the re-mastered version.
Really looking forward to buying the Blu ray but have a couple of noob questions I hope someone here might help with?
It seems there is a US version of this which is a digi-pak with a 44 page booklet enclosed
and this is the version I want.
1. Does anyone know if this will play okay on my UK PS3?
2. Also, would the US one be NTSC? Does this matter these days as although I really want the nicer packaging it's the quality of the film that matters the most.
3. Finally, can anyone recommend a good place to buy this from?
Apparently they spent a million dollars restoring this and its turned out fantastic from what I've read, can't wait to get my copy.
Many Thanks for any replies in advance

Many Thanks for any replies in advance | 1 it's region free so yes it will run on your UK PS3
2 NTSC or PAL doesn't exist anymore for HD
3 Amazon uk have it for 11.98 or it was when i pre ordered.

Thanks for the reply lancerumbolt and please excuse my ignorance on the ntsc question 
Thanks for the amazon price, you mentioned £17.99 for the US version.
I'd be willing to make the exception in this case and pay that little bit more for this title, is it best to get from ebay or is there a decent UK supplier for imports to not have the hassle of customs duty, handling charges etc..?
Cheers again
