But it was shot flat. Not in Super 35 which is the one which allows for anamorphic prints. I would definetely like to see a japanese LD capture or a cap of a 2.01:1 version!
When shot for 2.35, the VFX were usually handled at 1.85.1 back then.
All three main trailers are 2.39:1 so it's not a case of just one trailer being released and then they changed their mind for the final format (happened to Night at the Museum). Add to this the LDs/DVDs shows microphones, and the existence of both 2.01 and 2.39 laserdiscs and VHS, and there's definetely something funky going on with this film format.
EDIT found this from the featurette. The director and his monitor. The framing looks definetely 2.39:1 to me. So this confirms the film has been presented wrong on DVD and Blu all these years.
