The odds are good that if BU have secured a HD master and Don't bother giving that option someone else will release it and include the choice so while it's great that stagefright is coming to Blu-ray for me its worthless if I can't get the option. I'm kind of fussy with this film.

Ah, but are you as fussy with the thousands of other films that have been matted to widescreen over the years? Has Soavi said it's supposed the be shown in 4:3, or was it always intended to be shown in widescreen?
