The Hollywood Reported has the
following article stating that Metrodome will be releasing Transformers The Movie in a cinema in London,
LONDON -- U.K. indie Metrodome Distribution said Friday that it will
launch a limited release of the 1986 animated film "Transformers: The
Movie" in the British capital.
The distribution banner said it plans to open the film
for an exclusive two-week theatrical run in one theater in London's
West End beginning May 4.
The move aims to cash in on the "high level of
interest from fans of the Transformers brand in anticipation of this
summer's Michael Bay blockbuster," Metrodome said.
And the piggybacking doesn't stop there. Metrodome
also said it hopes that the theatrical run will help publicize the
release of the double-disc DVD of "Transformers: The Movie -- Ultimate
Edition," which hits shelves June 4.
The DVD includes a remastered widescreen edition of the animated movie, Metrodome said.
Both releases are scheduled ahead of Paramount
Pictures International's release of the much-anticipated live-action
version of "Transformers" in U.K. theaters in July.
"Transformers" was the highest-rated animated series of the 1980s in the U.K.
Thanks to
Seibertron for the original spot.

The following is the latest press release by Metrodome concerning their Transformers: The Movie Ultimate Edition set.
THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE (ULTIMATE EDITION)
Hi all!
As you are no doubt aware, murmurings of Metrodome's re-release of
Transformers have been circulating within the Transformers fan base
over the past year and fan sites have been rife with speculation. We
announced just before Christmas, that Transformers the Movie - The Ultimate Edition
will be released in June 2007 and we wanted to take this opportunity to
update the fans and answer a few questions that we have seen crop up
over the past few months.
First and foremost the Ultimate Edition will boast a widescreen picture
that has been fully remastered with a progressive PAL to PAL conversion
from the original negative and put through a rigorous colour correction
process to ensure that the movie is the best it has ever looked. To see
comparisons of the Ultimate Edition screenshots against older versions
of the movie please log on to www.transformersdvd.com and view them in the Download Section.
In addition to a stunning picture, we have created a brand new 5.1
soundtrack for the movie. After the release of Reconstructed a few
issues were raised by fans objecting to the extraneous sound effects
that were introduced into the soundtrack and we have taken this into
full consideration for the new audio. Chris McFeely, Transformers
expert has painstakingly gone through Reconstructed and picked apart
the soundtrack, highlighting the offending sounds and his report has
helped us to create a 5.1 mix far more in tune with the original audio
of the movie.
At this point in time the Ultimate Edition's extra feature plans are
still ongoing, but we can reveal that we are currently in talks with
Nelson Shin (Director) Flint Dille, (Story Consultant) and Peter Cullen
(the voice of Optimus Prime). A single disc and double disc edition
will be released containing commentaries, interviews, alternate/deleted
footage, DVD Rom material and much, much more.
Finally, we can reveal that Scramble City, the "lost" Japanese Takara
episode will be featured on the Ultimate Edition. Scramble City was
only broadcast in Japan to bridge the gap between the first and second
series of Generation One and we are pleased to be able to present it
for the first time on DVD in its original form.
With everything falling into place for this Ultimate Edition, we'll be
sure to keep you updated on news and extras in future newsletters. In
the meantime, remember to preorder Transformers the Movie - The
Ultimate Edition.

Seibertron have a report that the next re-released of Transformers: The Movie (that's the animated film not the
Transformers Movie due out next year), has been delayed in the UK until March 2007.
The UK has already seen several versions of Transformers: The Movie released, including Metrodome's "Wide Screen" edition, so sales of the DVD are not expected to be Earth shattering when it's finally released.
