Issue double dips and prosper
|
Hot on the heels of our Special Edition review of First Contact comes word From Paramount Home Entertainment that Star Trek Insurrection is to be released on June 7th as a two-disc special edition. Expect generous supplements including a the familiar and informative text commentary by Michael Okuda and Denise Okuda, a multiplicity of interviews, deleted scenes, art and photo galleries, storyboards, trailers, and featurettes. The film will be presented, of course, in anamorphic video, but we can also look forward to a DTS track to supplement the usual Dolby Digital audio.

Who's life is it anyway?
|
On May 17th, New Line Home Entertainment will release the award winning The Sea Inside for an SRP of $27.95. The film is based on the life of Ramon Sampedro; confined as a quadriplegic, he fought for decades for the right to end his life with dignity. It will be presented with an anamorphic widescreen transfer and Dolby Digital 5.1 audio. Extras will include a commentary by writer/director Alejandro Amenabar, deleted scenes, and a behind the scenes documentary.

Music of the Night redux
|
A kind reader wrote to remind me that when I included The Phantom of the Opera on our DISC NEWS on February 16th, I failed to mention that the film would also be available in a two-disc special edition. It's scheduled for a May 3rd release, and will carry a $29.95 SRP, only $2 more than the single disc edition. I'd love to be able to give you a definitive description of the supplements, but I can't yet find them on Warner Home Video's press site. The only extras I've discovered elsewhere are: two documentaries about the origins of the film's story and the musical on which it's based; and, three featurettes. Consider those unconfirmed.
