dvd

so the dvd came out.
happy that it is in the world.
hope more folks will get to see it.

as many of you can tell it is light on the extras as compared to my previous dvd releases.

everything at the studio was a struggle.
for instance: they didn't want to do a commentary track cause they felt that it wouldn't help sales.
i didn't have it in me to fight anymore.
whatever.

so:
niko, my friend who did the doc on the dvd came up with a novel idea.
we recorded a commentary track ourselves.
we're gonna post it on a site soon, http coming soon.
you can play it and watch the flick and hopefully you'll enjoy it.

i do hope to do a big special edition at some point. but for that to happen the dvd is gonna have to sell.
i got a lot of extras in my bag so who know maybe if you all write to criterion they'll get interested (suggest the fountain as a title: mulvaney@criterion.com).

they've been into pi and requiem but because the first run of dvd's had so many extras they didn't know what else they could add. but the fountain...

i hope you are all well. i've been writing. stuff is coming. gonna know what we are doing next soon enough.

best,
da


I for one would LOVE to see Criterion release a special two-disc edition of this in the future. Let's the get those e-mails going!

Indeed....sadly, the chances are most likely VERY slim, as its owned by Warner Brothers....and they don't deal to Criterion. But, I'll give anything a shot if it'll help get an amazing release of a great film like it deserves.

Im kinda mixed about hearing a commentary, i for one am not sure i WANT the movie totaly explained.:p

The guy sounds awesome however. The Fountain is one of the few movies i would double dip for more features on.
