This is from www.thedigitalbits.com:
We've just gotten the official word from MGM that their Martin Scorsese Film Collection, which had previously been announced for 12/14 (but was then delayed indefinitely) has been re-announced for release on 2/8/05. The set will include the New York, New York: Special Edition, a new, 2-disc Raging Bull: Collector's Edition, the previously released The Last Waltz: Special Edition and Boxcar Bertha. The New York, New York: Special Edition will be presented in 1.66:1 letterboxed widescreen with Dolby Digital 5.1 and mono audio (SRP $19.98 separately). Extras will include audio commentary, alternate takes, deleted scenes, a photo gallery, and the film's theatrical and teaser trailers. The Raging Bull: Collector's Edition will be presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen with Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0 surround audio (SRP $29.98 separately). Extras will include audio commentary by Scorsese and editor Thelma Schoonmaker, a separate cast and crew commentary, a "storytellers" commentary, 3 documentaries (including Before the Fight: The Writing and Casting of Raging Bull, Inside the Ring: The Making of Raging Bull and The Bronx Bull), 3 featurettes (After the Fight: Creating a Classic, La Motta Defends Title and De Niro vs. La Motta) and the theatrical trailer. The Last Waltz: Special Edition is the same disc that was previously released by MGM (read our review here). Boxcar Bertha is also the same disc as previously released.
The last time I heard great news like this was a few months ago when they said they were going to release it in December. Hopefully this time they will actually release it cause it doesn't getter better than Raging Bull on DVD.
