THX 1138 Gets New Release

Director George Lucas' dark 1971 SF movie THX 1138 will be re-released in theaters on Sept. 10 in a new director's cut, followed on Sept. 14 by a two-disc collector's-edition DVD from Warner Home Video, the company confirmed. The theatrical release will occur in 20 cities, including Ann Arbor, Mich.; Austin, Texas; Boston; Chicago; Los Angeles; Minneapolis; New York; Philadelphia; San Francisco; Seattle; Portland and others, the company said.

Francis Ford Coppola produced the film, a dystopian nightmare starring Robert Duvall. The DVD release of THX 1138: The George Lucas Director's Cut offers two new documentaries, including A Legacy of Filmmakers: The Early Years of American Zoetrope, a chronicle of Coppola's independent studio. In addition, Lucas and co-writer and sound designer Walter Murch both provide audio commentary on the film, and the DVD includes Electronic Labyrinth THX 1138 4EB, the original, award-winning short film Lucas made while a student at the University of Southern California, which inspired the theatrical movie. Other bonus features on the DVD set include Theatre of Noise, an isolated sound-effects track, and branching video that showcases the film's pioneering sound design, as well as the film's original theatrical trailer.

The collector's-edition DVD will carry a suggested retail price of $26.99. THX 1138 will also be available in a single-disc version with limited special features for $19.97.

Of course Georgey boy, he's half of that dynamic duo and they're best friends. However, Speilberg wouldn't let him touch them I'd imagine, and they can't be really classed as georgey's films.

What you should be concerned about is if Speilberg decides to replace all the nazis with Walkie-Talkies :wacky:
