We've finally obtained specs on the long-awaited War of the Worlds: Collector's Edition from Paramount Home Entertainment. The classic 1953 George Pal-directed film adaptation of H.G. Wells' novel arrives on November 1st with a new fullscreen transfer and a Dolby Digital Mono track. New extras for this set will include an audio commentary with stars Gene Barry and Ann Robinson and a second commentary with director Joe Dante, film historian Bob Burns and Bill Warren, author of "Keep Watching the Skies!". Other extras include "The Sky is Falling: The Making of War of the Worlds" and "H.G. Wells: The Father of Science Fiction" featurettes, the original trailer and the complete Mercury Theater on the Air radio broadcast that panicked the nation in October 1938!

Hell yeah! It's on my list.

Next up on my SE wish list, "Adventures In Babysitting". I want commentaries, the unsold CBS pilot episode and a making-of featurette. And of course the trailer, the current DVD release doesn't even has that. Bastards!
