WB HOME VIDEO PANEL
300
Presented by Zack Snyder, Frank Miller, and an ass-kissing of
the fans via video of Gerard Butler, 300 is ready to explode on your home
theatre with enough special features to make your loin cloth wet. Snyder started
everything off by introducing a new trailer for the DVD which showed a lot of
behind the scenes green-screen footage and a deleted moment featuring a giant
bald creature getting his leg cut off at the hands of King Leonidas. That's
about it for deleted scenes though as Snyder pointed out that they just don't
exist. "The majority of what we shot is in the film" says the director as Frank
Miller continuously gives people the evil eye throughout the room. Last year's
Con favourite seems to have worn out its welcome with the fans though as the Q&A
quickly goes off track:
-
The first two questions were about working with such hot guys
and if Snyder was ever turned on. He jokingly said he was. I'm pretty sure Frank
Miller killed the guy that asked the question, with his mind, before he got
back to his seat.
-
SIN CITY 2 has been delayed due to some financial issues.
-
Miller has put comic writing behind him for the time being as
he is currently storyboarding THE SPIRIT for the start of production in
Albuquerque very soon.
-
Snyder says he'd love to re-visit the zombie genre, but has no
plans set to expand the DAWN OF THE DEAD universe right now.
-
The DVD comes out in all formats on July 31.

BLADE RUNNER
Ridley Scott sat in on the panel along with stars Sean Young,
James Wong, Joe Turkel, Joanna Cassidy, and legendary Futurist, Syd Mead. It
wasn't long before we were treated to the new BLADE RUNNER footage that was shot for the film
featuring Cassidy, as Zhora in her famous raincoat-dress, getting shot and
falling through a glass panel. The obvious use of a double haunted Scott for
years. We then got to see a trailer for the three-and-a-half-hour documentary
titled DANGEROUS DAYS: MAKING OF BLADE RUNNER which showed highlights of
interviews with Scott, Rutger Hauer, Edward James Olmos, Daryl Hannah, and
Harrison Ford. Here are the highlights:
-
The Ultimate Collector's Edition (above) comes with five
versions of the film: The Final Cut (the latest version of the film), The 1982
Theatrical Version, The 1982 International Version, The 1992 Director's Cut,
and the rare Workprint Edition.
-
The films is also being released with four disc and two disc
editions. All will highlight the Final Cut which will also get a limited
theatrical run.
-
Work started on the collector's set in 2000.
-
Sean Young and Joanna Cassidy both look pretty good. Cassidy
made sure to announce she wore the original costume for the new scenes and it
still fits fine.
-
When Scott was asked about his thoughts on ALIEN VS. PREDATOR
there was silence. He finally just said, "It is what it is."
-
James Wong and Joe Turkel really lightened the mood with their
back and forth bitching. Turkel hilariously re-lived the moment he had to kiss
Rutger Hauer on the mouth.
-
The Collector's Edition DVDs will be available in all formats
on December 18. Click HERE

LIKE TEARS IN RAIN...
my erection still hasnt subsided...finally, the way it should have been...5 discs of coolness, the best film ever made gets the treatment it deserves. i just wish hd or bluray had been decided as a format winner, but as they both still equal each other, i cant buy until one is victorius, so i'll go with the regular set for now to make sure i get one. already pre ordered for dec and drooling in the meantime. |

I think I can go ahead and say that the Blade Runner Ultimate Collector's Edition is going to be the single greatest DVD release of all time. |
