Is there any chance Arrow may re-release this?
I would love to buy it but that Univisium bollocks put me right off. Watching Apocalypse Now used to be painful (there was this horrible pan-and-scan during the opening overlays of helicopter blades, ceiling fan and Sheen in his bed - it destroyed the image) until Coppola decided to supervise the BD himself.
Since VCI (the rights holders) have released a new BD in the correct aspect ratio, this means that Storaro does not have final say over the image (unlike The Last Emperor) and thus could not object to a 2.35:1 re-release.
