Scream Factory have announced they have done a new 2k remaster on this title and will be released in April.

Pretty damn good news.

Yes, indeed, as all current editions are nothing but DVD upconverts.

Good news, I can finally see this with a good transfer. Only ever seen the original R1 DVD which was hardly reference quality.
