YAY! First, The Devils. Now this! What a great way to start the day! I'm in DVD heaven right now...

Oh, and Dave: you can buy it separately.

Now, all we need is Springtime in the Rockies and Four Jills in a Jeep to come out on DVD and every single one of Miranda's US movies will be ours to revisit over and over again on the digital format.

They even went to the trouble of changing the Gang's All Here cover. Great job all around! I wonder if the extras will be different also.

Take a look at the spine of the box here.

Specs and special features.

Back cover artwork.

Some guy over at the HTF has posted some comparing screenshots of the old edition of The Gang's All Here vs the new one and it looks good! Good job, Fox!

Be sure to watch the Miranda documentary on the Something for the Boys disc. One of the best produced for a DVD extra I've ever had the pleasure to watch.

Oh, and the colors in The Gang's All Here really pop up now! The skin tones look a lot more "natural" now, if you can say that about old Technicolor.
