Universal just announced American Graffiti for a blu-ray release in May. The words SPECIAL EDITION are in big bold letters on the temp art and there's going to be a picture-in-picture commentary by Lucas, so that leaves little doubt as to which version of the movie will be included and which ones won't.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not surprised in the least. Since WB already put out the 2004-only blu-ray of THX-1138 and the "complete saga" of Star Wars is hitting in September from Lucas and Fox, Universal would make them look pretty awkward if they'd gone all Close Encounters with this release.

Who knows, maybe in 2013 there will be yet another domino effect and we'll get the original versions of THX, Graffiti and the OT (hey, one can dream).
