Grain is nothing to worry about. Grain is actually a good thing. It means that the studio hasn't used technology to alter the original film. Various amounts of grain can occur depending on what type of camera was used in filming the movie. Sometimes studios use DNR to clean up grain, but that also destroys the original look of the movie. Details and sharpness take a hit in that process. Believe me when I tell you that grain is good. At the beginning of Casino Royale grain is more prevalent than the rest of the film, but that was intentionally done.

If for some strange reason you want to buy the 1080i BD, you can do it through a third party seller.

Another 1080i BD is Steven Seagal's "Ultimate Force".

I am sure there are more movies released in 1080i, but not many.
Had to grab my copy of T3 once I read this. If it states 1080p video on the cover, is it so? If not, how do I know whether I have the re-release or not?

EDIT: Please ignore as I just found the answer by doing a search (which is what I should have done prior to posting). Sorry for the wasted bandwith.
