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.
