This just appeared this week on The Digital Bits :
20th Century Fox has just announced not one, but TWO new Apes DVDs -- The DVD release of Tim Burton's new movie, AND the DVD release of the complete Planet of the Apes TV series!
Now, the TV series has been said to be an inferior production merely rehashing the earlier movies, but there may be some that are interested in seeing it. Anyway, here's some more info:
Originally posted at The Digital Bits :
We've learned that 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment's going to be releasing a 4-disc Planet of the Apes: The Complete TV Series DVD. The title will street on November 20th, for an SRP of $49.98. How cool is that? Very, that's how cool. Damn, I loved that show when I was a kid! The street date coincides with the studio's just-announced 11/20 street date for Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes (SRP $29.99). The art you see below is final for the TV series, but not final for the movie, just FYI.
According to its press release, Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes will be "one of the most ambitious and technically-advanced DVDs ever produced, providing unprecedented interactivity for viewers. Presented in Anamorphic Widescreen (Aspect Ratio 2.35:1) with English 5.1 DTS, English 5.1 Dolby Digital and Spanish Dolby surround sound, both Special Edition discs contain a multitude of bonus features."
Disc One will include an enhanced viewing mode that enables you to choose when to go behind-the-scenes, search cast and crew biographies, or view the special effects, an audio track by composer Danny Elfman, 2 Easter eggs, DVD-ROM screenplay/script/storybo
ard comparison, NUON-enhanced features such as Viddies and Cool Zooms and animated menus.
Disc Two contains the HBO First Look special, 5 extended scenes, multiple featurettes (including Simian Academy, Face Like a Monkey, Costume Tests, On Location in Lake Powell, Chimp Symphony Op. 37 and Swinging from the Trees), makeup, group and movement tests, a gallery of multi-angle features that lets the viewer climb into the director's chair for several key scenes, theatrical trailers, a music video, television spots, a concept art and design gallery and additional DVD-ROM features including a novella and weblinks. So there you go.
"The Force is strong with this one!" ^_^
Once again, the call to battle has been sounded...
YO JOE!!! |
