Apocalypse Returns

The new Apocalypse Now Blu ray will be the best the film has looked on home video. We finally will get the original 2.35:1 aspect ratio left intact, and a brand new transfer of the Technicolor IB negative for Redux. This source will be used for both versions of the film.
My only gripe is that the original film wasn't mastered separately, but that's me being nit picky...also they could have included the original 70mm mix from 79...
The Digital Bits posted an interview with the team producing this new release, and it is extremely refreshing to hear that people want to preserve a film the way it was intended to be seen and not to make it look like digital video.
