That is fantastic news! I absolutely love that movie! I could have gotten the UK version (my DVD player can play universal), but I think I'll wait for the US just for the heck of it… unless the special features end up different and lame compared to the UK.
The Eight Doctor materializes in the US & A… nice… I have to be honest, for those who've not seen it this is a momentous occasion, indeed. I will say that the movie was good for its time – I didn't watch it until this year. I'm sure I'd have been blown away had I seen it back then. Either way, good on the people that finally decided to send it our way.
It's about freakin' time, it's only been 14 years!
