Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing is receiving the special edition treatment very soon. They haven't released the artwork yet, but I found the new features which are as follows.

Especially interesting, is the footage of Lee and crew going to Cannes. The film was praised there and put Lee on the map as a sought after director. Years later, he would continue his great streak with amazing films like Mo Better Blues, Malcolm X, Get on the Bus, Summer of Sam, and The Inside Man. Lee is a really gifted and versatile director and this is a nice retrospective after 20 years. If you guys wanna see something really special, I highly recommend Lee's documentary "When The Levees Broke". It's a 4 hour eulogy to the chaos and impact Hurricane Katrina had on New Orleans as well as this country.
