New Version of Crash

Is it 2.35 to 1?
The previous version was formatted to fit 16x9, and for that reason I
didn't buy it. Amazon and IMDB claim the new one is 2.35 but I they are
not always reliable.

Thanks.

The previous release was 2.35:1 as well. You may have gotten it confused
with Cronenberg's Crash, which was released on DVD in 1.78:1.

Very strange..
I think the confusion on the Haggs' Crash comes from this wording on the box
of the original release:
"Presented in Widescreen.....formatted from the original 1.85:1 version in
which the
film was shot" (whatever that means). It is indeed 2.35:1.

So just WHAT is the difference with the new release?

Yes that is what confused me on the original. Anyhow the new version is
specifically listed as 2.35 to 1.

======================
I bought it today and it has DTS ES as one of the sound options.
It is only 115 minutes compared to 122 on the original 2 disc set.
(7 minutes shorter????!!)
Different extras.

The original release mistakenly listed the runtime, which is in fact 112
minutes.

The new version is about 3 minutes longer, with small sections of dialog and
"moments" restored. The director says he felt that the theatrical cut was
too tight, so he expanded it a little.
