TVShowsOnDVD has posted further details on the upcoming release of the 1987 animated GI Joe Movie, a release that's been eagerly awaited by fans of the original cartoon series. That spare space in your GI Joe DVD Footlocker Set won't be empty for long!

A specific release date hasn't been finalized yet, but it is clear that the work on this project is moving along nicely. Shout! DVD producer Brian Ward tweeted a week ago that an "excellent condition print" of the movie has been located, and to expect "a complete HD transfer" in 1080p on the Blu-ray version. Shout!'s plans are apparently to present this production for the first time ever in the widescreen video format, as originally intended by the producers (per storyboards and film logs currently in Shout!'s possession).

Even before confirming that the high-def Blu-ray version was a go (to accompany the already-planned DVD version), Shout! was already putting together a number of extras for this release..as much as they can squeeze onto a single disc. At the beginning of this month, a commentary track was recorded with writer/editor Buzz Dixon, who served as a story consultant on G.I. Joe: The Movie; it is meant for inclusion on Shout!'s upcoming release. Also being considered is the possibility of including any of the remaining "knowing is half the battle" PSAs that were left off of Shout!'s previous releases of the regular series (this assumes, of course, that decent source material has since been located for each of them...which is why they had been left off the earlier DVDs).

The final list of bonus material for Shout! Factory's release of G.I. Joe: The Movie, on DVD and Blu-ray Disc, will be revealed soon when the studio issues a formal announcement.

What other features will be included in this highly anticipated release?
