Some interesting things to note here. First, the movies are going to be presented in 16:9 letterbox format (widescreen); while it is general knowledge that the movies were made in 4:3 full frame, they were primarily screened in theaters in the cropped letterboxed format. Perhaps there is something we do not know, or they are just cropping the film again. The scouters seem like a really cool idea, and we will also be getting the original movie introductions, which have not been released since the Japanese VHS releases!
Special thanks to Mr. Robot from the forum for pointing out this new info!
