Except for the booklet - It looks to be basically the same as the original Region 1 Fox DVD and Region 2's original Eureka DVD.
Does anyone think there will be a greatly improved video transfer? - I mean, it does say "Restored high-definition transfer" - so it looks like some new work might have been done on the movie - or maybe some new film elements have been discovered? Realistically - it'll probably just be a better video transfer created from the same restoration that was used to create the original DVDs. That isn't really a bad thing - I think the movie looks beautiful in its current presentation - but wouldn't it be wonderful if Sunrise could look even better?
