I saw this and was wondering if anyone had seen it yet. It claims it's a 16x9 version of NOTLD. http://www.amazon.com/Night-Living-Dead-16x9-Widescreen/dp/B000BU7SOU/ref=sr_1_48?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1251085603&sr=1-48
Now, of course we all know that it wasn't shot this way so it would have to be cropped. However, I did little bit of tinkering with my 46" widescreen HDTV the other night and discovered that I really dig watching it in widescreen, even if you do lose a little bit of information, and even if some of the shots are a little tight from time to time. I'd love to see an HD version of the film that could both the original 4x3 version matted on black, and a cropped 16x9 version.
On my TV, I zoomed in and moved the screen down by 15 step (I have an old Sony Wega) and I raelly liked it. It's like discovering the movie all over again. If you set it up right, most of the action in most full-frame features (with the exception of subtitles and info text) takes place in the center and more toward the top of the screen.
I would encourage anybody to try it once and let me know what you get.
PEACE!
