Sightless Tigress, Hidden Dagger

House of Flying Daggers Box Art

On April 19th, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment releases the visually compelling and mystically airborne House of Flying Daggers.

Double Dip Time...

xXx Box Art

Vin Diesel may not be back for xXx: State of the Union due in late April, but that didn't stop Sony Pictures Home Entertainment from issuing a new version of his xXx in an Uncensored, Unrated, Director's Cut that will run about eight minutes longer. Due on April 19th, this 2-disc set is reported to contain all new supplemental content. The first is unfortunately named and spoils any surprises that it might contain. The rest includes a Sneak Peak at xXx 2: State of the Union, Clip Compilation (The End Credit Sequence - Raw and Uncut), Writer Commentary, Making Of Featurette (Starz! In the Set - The Making of xXx), two Multi Angle Stunt Views- Exploding Barn Jump, The Bridge Jump - music video for "I Will Be Heard" by Hatebreed, and Storyboard Comparisons for Avalanche Scene and Drug Farm. Fans can expect an SRP of $24.96.
