A Slew Of DVD Updates
We’ve been hearing rumblings from our sources that Warner Bros is getting closer to their Looney Tunes animated catalog titles finally being released on DVD. We have no details yet on the release format (we’re hoping for big box sets), but it looks as though Bugs and the gang could finally see the light of day next year.
Speaking of Warner animated titles, look for The Iron Giant: Special Edition to be released in 2003 as well.
In addition, our retailer sources are telling us that New Line’s Austin Powers in Goldmember DVD will street on 12/3.
And we have what we believe are the close-to-final stats on the Back to the Future DVD set:
Disc One
Back to the Future movie, The Making of Back to the Future (a rare behind the scenes look), Making the Trilogy: Chapter 1 (retrospective look featuring cast and crew), all new feature commentary with director/writer Robert Zemeckis & producer/writer Bob Gale, hilarious outtakes, deleted scenes, original make-up tests, Did you know that? Universal’s animated anecdotes, (watch the movie and learn more interesting facts), production Archive (photographs, original storyboards & props), storyboards-to-final-feature comparisons, theatrical trailer
Disc Two
Back to the Future II movie, Back to the Future II featurette (a rare behind the scenes look), Making the Trilogy: Chapter 2 (a retrospective look featuring cast and crew), hilarious outtakes, deleted scenes, Hover Board test on location, production archive (photographs, original storyboards & props), storyboards-to-final-feature comparisons, theatrical trailer
Disc Three
Back to the Future III movie, Making the Trilogy: Chapter 3 (a retrospective look featuring cast and crew), hilarious outtakes, deleted scenes, ZZ Top music video for Doubleback, production archive (photographs, original storyboards & props), storyboards-to-final-feature comparisons, theatrical trailer
We expect the U.S. spec list to match this closely, with the possible addition of a few other items as well. By the way, BTTF.com has a 5 1/2 minute preview trailer online for this set now. Be sure to check it out.
And finally today, we’ve got what our sources are telling us is the final deleted scene list for the Star Wars: Episode II DVD. Scenes in yellow have already been confirmed:
1. Padme addresses the Senate
2. Obi-Wan talks with the Analysis Droids
3. Obi-Wan learns of the “Lost Twenty” Jedi
4. Obi-Wan and Mace discuss Anakin at the Starfighter Hangar
5. Anakin and Padme with Padme’s Family
6. Anakin and Padme on Trial on Geonosis
7. Extended version of the Yoda/Dooku lightsaber duel
8. Jedi Raid on the Droid Control Ship
If the rest of that list pans out… that’s a damn cool list of deleted material. Rumor is the extended Yoda/Dooku duel features Dooku fighting with two lightsabers. Just having ANY more of short stack in action is cool to us…
All I have to say is two words: Me likey!
