If you're right (that this will be a 35mm/16mm composite) then this would be the first crack in WAC's policy of perfection on Blu-Ray or nothing at all. Which would be a good thing for tons of films whose extant elements preclude a "perfect" presentation.

Unless they go with the shorter version, in which case, nfm.
