The movie is being released as a two DVD set on Tuesday.  Fortunately, my wife has fond memories of seeing this movie and wants to get it.  The new Sci-fi series also starts on Friday.

Look Daddy, I painted one of your robots!!!

Sweet!   And what I also like is that I find out it's being released Tuesday and not Fall of 2008 or some other far-away time.  Thanks for the notice!

Oh dear. I´m actually looking forward to it, although it might mean I´ll finally have to get some WSD stuff, too... X-D

When we first approached Universal about releasing the remastered version early to help promote Fantastic Worlds they were very open to the idea. "We'll make August 'Flash' month and even get the series on for you as well' they said. Good people there.

Unfortunately the Burrough's estate wasn't as forthcoming. The John Carter movie is still years off and they refused to budge.

If only Blur Studios, who made "The Gentleman's Duel" short, would make it...true to the ERB story, but stylistic.

Marc, any chance of you have a printed copy this Sunday?

It's actually in the hands of Pixar right now. Could be interesting...

That's so cool, my jaw dropped when I read it.

Correction to first message...it is only a one-disc package.  I bought it yesterday and watched it last night.  It's amazing how far movies have come in the past 27 years, although Star Wars and Alien were far superior cinematically.  My wife and I still really enjoyed it.
