according to thedigitalbits:

Now then… one of the things it looks like we may learn about down at Comic-Con is that Warner Home Video may be planning to release The Iron Giant: Signature Edition back into theaters (as a Fathom Event here) on 9/30, and also on Blu-ray this fall.

The film will apparently be remastered with new scenes. As you know, we reported way back in April of last year (see here) that director Brad Bird was in talks with the studio about releasing the film on the format. It seems that the studio is going to be heavily promoting the title down at the Con as both a Fathom theatrical re-release event (remastered with new scenes) and also on Blu-ray, including with a massive statue of the robot from the film, all of which was just promoted by Bird in a Tweet today. You can see the image he tweeted at the left there.

Not sure if Hunt is basing this off of anything else, but officially Warner didn't say anything about a Blu-ray, just digital retailers this Fall.

[WorkShed]

Possibly over ten minutes of new scenes! Nothing to scoff at!

EDIT: Although, that is comparing the two runtimes. The release from Fathom states two new scenes, but I wonder how long they run.

MifuneFan, they wouldn't go through all the effort just for a digital release. Blu-ray is a given. WHV is probably waiting to officially announce at SDCC, along with Justice League Unlimited.

New scenes??

So, no theatrical cut on Bluray?

I'm sure, I'm just saying there's nothing official.

Too early to know. They might have both versions.

[DaBargainHunta]

Oh **** yeah! Finally!!!

BTW, I don't see how you can say the Blu-Ray isn't official when they're already promoting a collectable statue. Where else would they include that?!

[jlk5844]

New scenes? Hnnnnggggggg

The more snippets I hear about this inevitable release the more pumped I get! Cannot wait! Hopefully it's 2 cuts though.

[kobol]

It's about time!

[silverlakephil]

I love this movie back in the day and I didn't felt it was lacking, so I'll reserve my expectations about the new scenes. Hopefully it will contain both cuts to satisfy fans. I wonder if the new scenes are being added because it's being prepped for a sequel?

[rickah88]

So you're telling me there's a chance.

[EndZero]

The Rocketeer flies again!

[mrr1]

Cool.

If life was fair, this movie would've been a smash success and there would be an awesome Iron Giant ride at one of the Nation's bigger amusement parks.

Based on the press release, this doesn't seem like it's going to be on Blu-Ray. Only Digital HD.

Following the re-release of the film in theaters, a high-definition version of “The Iron Giant: Signature Edition” will be available to purchase from digital retailers in the fall of 2015.

It better be released on Blu-ray in the US given that Warner is releasing it in Germany in August and Spain in September.

[David M]

^ Seconded. I am not interested in virtually owning a virtual copy of this.

[RodChester]

Maybe Mondo will actually get to put out a version of this. I just want a copy on blu no matter who puts it out though.
