Special thanks to 'Dassy' over on www.thewaroftheworlds.com for this! Here are the details of the Pal movie Special Edition from Paramount Home Entertainment due out November!  ''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!'' The only thing I find odd is the MONO soundtrack. This has been released on VHS with a stereo mix so why the mono now? Anyway..looks cool! |

Yeah, thats what I was reading too. Maybe the extra '58 mins' of footage that was going to be on a seperate disc is now going back into the actual film.

The more I look at it the more I hate that cover. I mean, what was wrong with using this, after all it was done for Paramount so why dump it. It's a million times better than that cover.  |

While I'm looking forward to this release, I hope Paramount works on the sound a bit. The first DVD release had so much noise suppression that you could hardly pick out the background music. However, their more recent releases of Conquest of Space and I Married a Monster from Outer Space had excellent, clear sound, so here's hoping. As far as the stereo mix, I have an old laserdisc with the stereo mix and while it's fun to hear the heat ray blast in all 5 speakers, it really wasn't that great a mix. Mostly sound effects from left to right. If there has been a better recent mix, that would be great to include, but I can deal with mono.
