Mark your calendars folks. SAW is coming to DVD, and a good bit quicker than you might have expected. Here’s the dope from Lions Gate:
Order Date: 1/18/05
Street Date: 2/15/04
DVD SRP: $27.98
VHS SRP: Priced For Rental
DVD Special Features: Commentary with Director James Wan and Writer/Actor Leigh Whannell; “On The Set” Featurette, Music Video for Fear Factory’s “Bite the Hand That Bleeds,” Making of “Bite the Hand That Bleeds” Music Video, Trailers and TV Spots.
Not the most exciting set of extras ever, but then again, they clearly were not thinking major DVD release when the film was being shot. Besides, the commentary should be great.
While you’re waiting, The Age has an interesting article about the whirlwind Hollywood becomes when you’re a hot new director and/or actor-writer. Here’s a taste:
James Wan is at the door. He sees his name on the list. It’s there with Leonardo DiCaprio. If that’s not enough to put the zap on Wan’s head, he walks in and sees the party host in all his glory, surrounded by bodyguards and hot blondes. It’s Hugh Hefner. This isn’t just any Hollywood party. It’s a Playboy party.
So if you like tales of the agony and granduer of Hollywood, or if you just want a little more skinny on how Wan and Whannel hooked up in the first place, click here. Unfortunately you’ll need to register, but it’s free.
