The rumour has (pretty much) firmed up; DVD Times has the details and art here.

Cool. It's a pity the original novel by D.F. Jones seems to be out of print at the moment.

No details/confirmation of the aspect ratio in that press release? Hmm ...

**John Hodson** · 7th April 2008 10:43 PM

Apart from the artwork having 'widescreen edition' splashed across the top, no...

Well, Amazon says 2.35:1, hope they're right.

I just read in Charlton Heston's Journals that he was approached for the lead role in Colossus. I'd never heard that before.
