CONSTANTINE: DELUXE EDITION
Justice is being served with the kick-ass flick that is Constantine (see Arrow’s review right here) A week after announcing it’s plans to release Constantine is single-disc form, Warner has now announced that it also plans on releasing a deluxe edition that comes equipped with two discs packed full of extras. Well deserved for one of the few good films of 2005. Let’s hope the trend continues for good films getting good DVD releases. Here’s the full list of extras to be expected…
- Anamorphic widescreen presentation
- English Dolby Digital 5.1 track
- Audio commentary by director Francis Lawrence, producer
- Akiva Goldsman and the screenwriters, Kevin Brodbin and Frank Cappello
- A Perfect Circle’s “Passive” music video
- Eighteen minutes of deleted scenes
- An alternate ending with optional director’s commentary
- A Conjuring Constantine: From Comic Book to Movie
- documentary
- Another new documentary entitled The Production from Hell
- An Imagining the Underworld documentary,
- Power of Pre-Visualization feature with optional commentary by Francis Lawrence.
- Theatrical trailers
- DVD-ROM content.
- Exclusive Hellblazer comic.
The single-disc standard edition will only include the deleted scenes, trailer and the DVD-ROM features.
This is the back cover for the Deluxe Edition. The DVD isn’t available for pre-order yet but as soon as it is..I’ll let you wonderful sons of bitches know 🙂
DARK WATER
As expected, in the wake of the remake of Hideo Nakata’s japanese hit Dark Water (see Arrow’s review here) , ADV Films will release the original film on DVD June 21st, just a few weeks in advance of The Remake’s Jule 8th release.
The original film is based on a story from the anthology HONOGURAI MIZU NO SOKO KARA by Koji (RINGU) Suzuki, the movie is about a woman who moves into a new apartment with her young daughter (over whom she is involved in a nasty custody dispute). Plagued by water dripping from the ceiling and walls, she soon discovers that the building is haunted. Although the film being release in the U.S. is good news, it unfortunately is being packed with absolutely nada special features. Another great movie getting the shaft when it comes to DVD releases. Ughh…
Somebody forgot to warn poor little Kanno about the flooded bathroom…
SATAN’S LITTLE HELPER
Okay we all know, Santa has a little helper but Satan? Well, that’s news to me and so was this DVD news that I am sharing. Screen Media is release Satan’s Little Helper through Universal Home Entertainment on October 4th. Plot sounds simplistic but could be a hoot.
Satan’s Little Helper is Jeff (SQUIRM) Lieberman’s horror comeback, in which a young boy unwittingly assists a devil-masked maniac on his murderous Halloween-night rounds. Here’s what Satan’s Little Helper has in his bag of tricks…
Includes:
- Anamorphic widescreen transfer
- English Track
- A filmmaker audio commentary
- Making of Featurette
- And more to be announced…
Although you should never judge a book by it’s cover, or in this case picture. I think it’s safe to say that this film will not be of the family-oriented genre…or at least not on purpose.
