We all complained about it (your comments at the
bottom of THIS
STORY and my RANT
HERE), but it was more than obvious that despite the crappy
bare-bones SIN CITY DVD that was released a couple of weeks ago,
a jam-packed "real" version would be coming out sooner
than later, and believe it or not...it's already here! Thanks to the
dudes over at DVDAnswers.com
for scooping this baby. The date: December 13, 2005! (just in time
for Christmas). The price: $39.99. Why so high? The 2-disc RECUT
& EXTENDED version of the film will also include a complete
SIN CITY graphic novel (based on the first story "The Hard
Goodbye"). The discs will also include:
- The 124-minute theatrical release
- The 147-minute extended cut
- A commentary with director Robert Rodriguez & Frank Miller
- A second commentary with Rodriguez & Quentin Tarantino
- A third commentary containing Austin Premiere crowd reaction
- A 15-minute film school with Rodriguez
- A Movie in High-Speed Green Screen feature
- 17 uninterrupted minutes of Tarantino's segment
- Footage of a Sin City cast/crew party
- A 10-minute cooking school with Robert Rodriquez
- 4 featurettes on the cars, special effects make-up, costumes and props, a featurette on how they convinced Miller to assist with the film, a featurette on casting, a featurette on Tarantino the guest director (sigh)
- Trailers
- Bloopers
- An interactive game
- 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen
- English DTS 5.1 and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround tracks
That enough for ya? Well, I guess we all expected
the first edition of the DVD to rock as much as this one, but I
suppose "show business" is called just that because they
have to make money first, so better late than never, right? December
13th, boys and girls...that's the date when we can all buy the REAL
VERSION of this awesome movie! Thanks to 'The Beatnik' for
the head's up.
