Universal to re-release Deer Hunter, Mockingbird, Sting in September

[Briare Rabbit]

Only technical specs as of now, each will be released in a sparkling new anamorphic widescreen transfer with remastered sound. No word on the extras, but all three titles will be two disks.

Score.


I'll pick up at least 2.

[bdubprod]

I'd be getting all three.

[Cronos]

[Tayzlor]

Cool, I guess I can see The Sting now. Although it never had me anticpatin' to begin with.

Maybe, possibly a big maybe, I'll look into the new Deer Hunter.

THE STING? Two discs? Widescreen? Is it my birthday?

Will definitely be getting Deer Hunter and The Sting...perhaps I will get Mockingbird

[CYF Tequila]

All 3 will be available to own on Sept 6.

looks like they'll be a part of the "Legacy Series", according to the listings on DVDaficionado

I'll be picking up The Deer Hunter (now I don't have to get that UK release). I just hope it will have all the extras of that release and hopefully more. I might pick up The Sting and trade in my old copy but I didn't like the movie that much. I'll see what's on it.

Oh, and I couldn't care less about To Kill A Mockingbird.
