One Flew Over Cuckoo's Nest - new "ultimate" edition announced

[Bruce Morrison]

The Digital Bits site is reporting that Warner will release a new "ultimate" edition of OFOTCN in September in a special box set. It will be the same transfer as the current edition but will have two extra items - a new documentary and a new interview with Michael Douglas. There will also be some additional "collectibles" in the box. The announced price is $49.99.

I'm assuming the discs themselves will still be housed in the existing "digibook" packaging, but that hasn't been made clear. Warner have reissued some of their original digibook titles in regular Blu-ray cases (e.g. 'Amadeus' and 'Bonnie And Clyde'), so it's possible this may be another example. Has anyone heard whether the digibook packaging is going to be retained?
