December 19, 2003 - After months of speculation, Universal Studios has made it official: it will release Steven Spielberg's masterpiece Schindler's List on March 9, 2004, in both widescreen and fullscreen format, in both a standard and Collector's Edition Box Set.


The regular edition will have a suggested price of $26.98 while the Collector's Edition will carry a suggested price of $79.98. The single-disc set will be dual sided, dual layered, with Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 audio.

The Collector's Edition will include the single-disc release plus an 80-page hardcover book, the soundtrack CD, a senitype cell and a collector's certificate of authenticity.

While Universal has not announced the extras, an advertisement on a Swedish Web site, first reported by the folks at DavisDVD.com, listed a few of the extras, one of which will be an introduction to the film by Steven Spielberg. There are also reported to be two featurettes titled "Voices From the List" and "Behind the Shoah Foundation With Steven Spielberg."

We'll let you know what exactly will be contained in the sets as soon as we get confirmation.

The Signature Edition Laserdisc box set had a few deleted scenes, and a BBC documentary called The Real Oscar Schindler. It was a very rare edition (only 1500 copies were released). I wonder if Speilberg will eventually include those extras on the DVD as well.
