Kicking off this week's news is the announcement from American Zoetrope of the full specs for the long-awaited DVD debut of Francis Ford Coppola's One From the Heart. This cult favorite was much-maligned at the time of its original 1982 release but ahead-of-its-time in its use of computer-assisted technology, and now seems like the perfect opportunity for a reevaluation. Rykodisc will release this two-disc set that is quite extensive in its supplements and sporting a new high-definition transfer in the original film aspect ratio of 1.33:1 (supervised by cinematographer Vittorio Storaro) and a Dolby Digital 5.1 remix. Extras include a new audio commentary by Coppola, an isolated 5.1 track with Tom Waits' Oscar-nominated song score, "The Dream Studio" documentary on the history of the Zoetrope Studios, additional "The Electronic Cinema," "Music of One From The Heart" and vintage 1982 "The Making of One From The Heart" featurettes, previously unreleased demo recordings and alternate takes of Tom Waits' score in PCM stereo, deleted and alternate scenes, rehearsal reels, rare Zoetrope archival footage and a still gallery. Retail is $29.95.
