Just 'bumping' this ancient thread to mention that I have the Hong Kong release, Region 3, unedited DVD-9 version of 'Eyes Wide Shut.' Product code: "Standard NA18085"

I understood from reading some web site (can't find it just now) that my version has the excised Hindu chanting or whatever. But I haven't checked that yet. I can check for that, or help in some other way.

Also: the movie was shot in 4:3 by Kubrick, and that was his expressed preference for home video viewing. He allowed it to be presented in 1.85:1 in theatres, yes (with some of the bottom/top of the full frame matted out). There will be no "widescreen" video release of this film. Likewise for a few other Kubrick movies, as mentioned above. I would expect that Kubrick's expressed preference on this question will be honoured by Warner video.
