Sweet! I will get this for sure. The new transfer and sound are just worth it, and also the deleted scenes :D
Always a good excuse to sell the original ..all that free advertising from the crappy sequel.
At least it seems this is a decent start tho.
Prob a purchase on The Mask for me.

I might pick this up, especially if I can find it used down the line just for the anamorphic transfer upgrade, but if not I'm fine with what I have now...it's not as if I have watched it in like four years anyway...
Crud. I already had the local release of this film, and just last month, I ordered the R1 disc, for the commentary and the deleted scenes... (of course when I saw Amazon's long realization time, I started suspecting a re-release to "honor" the horrendous sequel... but I was hoping it would have no new features to speak of... :-\
I'll pick this up sence I don't own it on DVD. The artwork ain't that different then the original. Just the background and font.
Awesome... I will pick this up for sure. As for "Son of the Mask", I might give it a rent to see how lame, if it is, I mean 
Cool, but... no space ghost...
I remember on the original VHS tape, after the film there was an interview of Jim Carrey done by none other than Space Ghost, promoting his upcoming TV show (at that time), Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. So that kind of sucks. But I still have that original VHS tape and the original DVD release. Maybe someone here can e-mail New Line and tell them to transfer that one of a kind interview to the DVD before it is released.
the dog with the quote is on the vhs cover. they didn't change the cover at all, with the cloud scheme now serving as a background, and a slight tweak to the text.
This doesn't help my decision regarding whether or not to double dip....

they shouldn't have the dog with the quote and the backround should be purple
the art is basically the same but I really don't like it because the dog with the quote is lame and the tagline is stupid and I wish they had Cameron Diaz on the cover in some way and the off center DVD Video/Rom logo is off and that bothers me. Overall this is a poor cover I was hoping for something more origional. Also I love the cover of Son of the Mask: Platium Series so much more than The Mask: Platium Series.
Oh and told ya this was going to be a green keep case!!!

Would you believe that I've never seen this. I'll definitely rent it soon.
Not a bad cover.
Yeah those clouds just don't match. That is not a great DVD design. It should be a dark background.
I'm still excited though.

ugh. that artwork is horrible. it looks like they're trying to make it match the son of the mask with the clouds, but it doesnt look right with that picture, maybe if they used some different art they could make it work with the clouds, but those two pictures dont look good together
Nice artwork.
Artwork added...

I have the original dvd,but being a completist when it comes to Jim Carrey,I will pick it up. Besides I loved the movie and haven't seen it since I got the original dvd in 2003.
Fun stuff, Jim Carrey is great, one of a kind comedic actor.
i have seen this movie on tv sooo many times that i don't want it
I'll definitly get this SE when it comes out.
I think it is a updated Platinum Series DVD and since Son of the Mask is Platinum Series this hould be too.

Wasn't this the film to start off the Platinum Series!??! It's just stupid to release the same film twice under the Platinum Series...
Well, extras or no extras, this will be the first time "The Mask" is available in an anamorphic version (enhanced for widescreen playback). For those of us that own or plan on buying widescreen monitors (which will be the standard), this is reason enough to upgrade or purchase for the first time.

Free
I got mine free in cereal!!
Although it is the censored full-screen version, but I am content with it.

If it had a Carrey commentary I'd be sold, but I'm guessing he doesn't think too highly of New Line these days for tarninishing DUMB AND DUMBER and THE MASK with horrific follow-ups...
.....already own the snapper version.... I knew it's re-release was inevitable, but I was hoping that when it was released it would have been a nice 2-disc'er..... c'mon New Line! You gave Elf 2-discs!
i was also hoping for more deleted scenes, atleast maybe some bloopers... C'mon you know with Jim on the set there had to be some hilarious bloopers around....

edit-
1 more thing, why re-release this as a Platinum Edition? Wasn't this the film to start off the Platinum Series!??!
I was also just looking at my PE Mask, and noticed that it features the theatrical trailer... yet I don't see it listed for the new release.... I also remember on the vhs release after the credits there was and interview with Jim and Space Ghost... why not add that to the new edition?

Well, I am hoping for a nice keepcase. As nice as digipack designs can be, they don't age well. When my keepcases begin to show wear, I can slip the DVD insert into a nice sparkling new package and it will look brand-new. The addition of a nice booklet would make me even happier. I am just happy to finally get my hands on an anamorphic transfer of this film. It is one of my favorite Jim Carrey vehicles but I refused to buy it until now... cause if it ain't anamorphic I ain't buyin'! By the way...what were they thinkin' when they made a sequel without the guy that WAS the movie? Pure Hollywood stupidity.

why would they do that its only a single disc. It will probably have a green snap case like Son of the Mask: New Line Platinum Series Edition.
