A NEW CUT OF HEAT?

Michael Mann's sprawling masterpiece Heat, which hits Blu-Ray this coming November, is one of the defining films about cobs and robbers that's ever been made. And according to the back image of the Blu-Ray box cover, there's a new cut of the film coming out...under Special Features it says: "New Content Changes Supervised by Director Michael Mann." What does this mean? Is this a "director's cut"? Is he adding in scenes that were previously included on the earlier DVD release in the "deleted scenes" section? If anyone has any information, please chime in...

I'm hoping it's one with scenes added. This'll be awesome, seeing it on the big screen. One of the best films ever.

Very interesting find! I'm curious as well to see what exactly that means. Any excuse to watch HEAT again is all good.
