Warner Bros. and American Zoetrope will be releasing "The Outsiders: The Complete Novel" in a limited theatrical release this September (2005). The film will be presented in the Digital Cinema format with a complete remastered Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack. The new running time is now 114 minutes.

That is from the press release from Warner.

No release prints made? LIMITED will be an understatement -- what will that get them....100 screens? Unless of course they decide to release it to not only DLP installations but also to any theatres that have preshow video projectors. That might get them a larger number of venues, but at the expense of denegrating D-Cinema. If the industry starts doing that, i.e., showing content on less than actual state-of-the-art DLP projectors, that will REALLY be nails in the coffin. The public will never now WHAT they are going to be seeing when they see D-Cinema on the marquee.

So is this a rerelease of the original or a remake??
I would be nice to play it at the Admiral Twin Drive in where they filmed part of it.

This is a release of the longer original movie from 1983. The original US release version from Warner Bros. ran 91 mins., this one runs 113 minutes there is some exit music after the final Warner Bros. logo on the end.
