WB Announces Unrated "True Romance" DVD - again?

Movieweb is reporting that WB has announced they're releasing an unrated version of "True Romance" on May 15th. The little Tarantino living in the attic of our brain just wee'd himself...

But wait a second - didn't this movie already get the unrated Director's cut treatment long ago? A quick search of IMDB reveals that sure enough, Tony Scott's true vision hit shelves in September of 2004! Check the deets:

- Rating: Not Rated
- Runtime: 121 Minutes
- Label: Warner
- Studio: Warner Home Video
- Release Date: 2002-09-24
- DVD Format: Custom, Widescreen Anamorphic, 2.35:1, Closed Captioned, Color
- Special Features:
- Digitally remastered unrated director's cut
- Innovative storyboard track allows you to access the director's storyboards while watching the film
- Web-enabled screenplay viewer with storyboards, original production notes, and web links
- 30 minutes of deleted and extended scenes with optional director commentary
- Alternate ending with optional director and writer commentaries
- Selective commentaries with Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Brad Pitt, and Michael Rapaport
- Interactive behind-the-scenes featurette

We smell a rat. Is this yet another attempt by a studio to leech more money from fans? We'll have to wait until May 15th to find out, but you can bet we'll have the above list in hand when we go to review this sucker.
