Everybody runs - 12:01am
Hot of its hit theatrical run earlier this summer, DreamWorks
has just announced a 12/17 street date for Steven Spielberg's
Minority Report. Relatively rare for a big Spielberg summer
film, this one is making a quick trip to home video, and will
come in two flavors: separate widescreen and pan & scan versions,
both two-disc sets. Each release will feature Dolby Digital and
DTS 5.1 surround tracks, and a second disc with over an hour of
new featurettes on the making of the film - two years in the making
- all shot on hi-def video by longtime Spielberg producer Laurent
Bouzereau:
- "Minority Report: From Story to Screen" - Spielberg
recounting how he approached the characters and storyline
- "Deconstructing Minority Report" -- about the think
tank formed by Spielberg to image the near-future setting of
the film
- "The Stunts of Minority Report" - showing off the
mixture of computer animation and live-action stunts by Cruise
- "ILM and Minority Report" - about the involvement
of the fabled Industrial Light and Magic crew in creating the
visual effects
- "Final Report" - Cruise and Spielberg talk about
how the film changed their working relationship and challenged
the way they think about life and the near future
- "Minority Report Archives" -- a "virtual gallery"
of storyboard sequences, original illustrations, production
stills, production notes and cast and crew bios.
The disc will also include trailers and TV spots (but as with
all Spielberg titles, no audio commentary). There is no set price
for either release, but MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) is $19.95.
Stay tuned for the full press release, due later this week...
