The pre-order at Amazon is up for a new release of "Being There" on
Region 1 DVD February 2nd, 2009. For $19.98, it will include a new
featurette, "Memories from Being There", in addition to the
theatrical trailer you'll recall from the old disc. And have a gander
at the *beautiful* cover!

In addition, Warner will also release a Blu-Ray high-definition DVD
of the film on the same day, for those who have the newer players. It
costs $28.99. In addition to the trailer and the new featurette,
there are some exclusive bonuses that will *not* be on the standard
disc (as per Blu-Ray practice):

- Gag reel
- Two recently discovered scenes (!!!)
- Alternate ending (possibly the original end credits?)

either disc.)

Our Peter is going into 2009 in style with his *very first* high-
definition title in time for a special anniversary! Cheers!!!
