Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith


Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
This November 1st will be a landmark day for fans to celebrate the saga with two major releases in Star Wars home entertainment. The explosive and emotional finale to the saga, Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, arrives on DVD.


Lucasfilm and Fox Home Entertainment present a two-disc set for the 'Revenge of the Sith' DVD, with uncompromising picture and sound mastered directly from the original digital source material. The DVD will include a brand-new full-length documentary produced by Lucasfilm Ltd. as well as two new featurettes -- one that explores the prophecy of Anakin Skywalker as the Chosen One, and the other that looks at the movie's amazing stunts. A 15-part collection of Lucasfilm's groundbreaking web documentary series, Making Episode III, will also be included in the set. A two-level playable demo of "Star Wars Battlefront II" is also included on the DVD.
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith



"Revenge of the Sith gave audiences an extraordinary experience, and we want this DVD to do the same," said Jim Ward, Vice President of Marketing and Distribution for Lucasfilm Ltd. "From the beginning of production, George wanted to be sure we chronicled everything that went into the making of Episode III specifically to create an incredible DVD experience. This DVD has literally been three years in the making, and it's going to be a fantastic way to complete the Star Wars saga at home."

In addition to its November 1st debut in the U.S. and Canada, Revenge of the Sith debuts on DVD in most major territories around the world on or about the same day.

now that's going to be funny.



I just know they're coming to kill me.
I would just like to add that I found out today that on November 22 Aqua Teen Hunger Force Volume 4 will be released on DVD.

For those of you interested.

Garg. You'd think after releasing Season 1, Season 2 would follow, just to keep fans happy after the cliff-hanger. Well, Fire Walk With Me is out soon. Is Season 2 release likely?



STOMP FREAKIN' TASTIC!
Looks like Fox are chucking out the version of Alien VS Predator that they should have done to start off with:

http://dvdanswers.com/index.php?r=0&...=r%3D0%26s%3D1

I've read on another site that this new version will come in at 115mins, which if true should prove interesting as the extra scenes being added apparently don't make up the time to make the feature run to 115mins (footage not yet seen????).

Also (apparently) popping up in November is a directors cut of The Frighteners:

http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=58048

Don't know what (or if) any extra footage will be but i have a sneaky suspision Mr. JRS will rot out the info when it becomes available.

I hadn't noticed these anywhere on other posts so i'll post them. All 3 films will be released on October 17th 2005.

Title: Inspector Clouseau
Year: 1968
Starring: Alan Arkin ; Frank Finlay ; Patrick Cargill ; Beryl Reid ; Barry Foster ; Geoffrey Bayldon ; David Bauer ; Tracey Crisp ; Julie Croft ; Clive Francis ; Barbara Dana ; Delia Boccardo
Synopsis:
Inspector Clouseau returns, with Alan Arkin stepping into the bumbling shoes of Peter Sellers' most famous role.


Chief-Commissioner, Sir Charles Braithwaite, is investigating a series of Swiss bank robberies, while Clouseau - naturally - gets in the way. Meanwhile, the criminals further add to the confusion by wearing Clouseau masks during their heists! Needless to say, the inspector gets on the case...

Title: Curse Of The Pink Panther
Year: 1983
Starring: Ted Wass ; David Niven ; Robert Wagner ; Herbert Lom ; Capucine ; Joanna Lumley ; Robert Loggia ; Harvey Korman ; Burt Kwouk ; Roger Moore ; Leslie Ash ; Graham Stark ; Michael Elphick ; Donald Sumpter ; Joe Morton ; Bill Nighy ; Andre Maranne
Synopsis: Following the disappearance of Inspector Clouseau, Surete call on the world's second-best detective to bring him back. However, Clouseau's nemesis, the evil Chief Inspector Dreyfus, interferes with the computer, which assigns the world's worst detective to the case, Detective-Sergeant Clifton Sleigh! Hilarity ensues as the bumbling Sleigh stumbles from disaster to disaster!

Title: Son Of The Pink Panther
Year: 1993
Starring: Roberto Benigni ; Herbert Lom ; Claudia Cardinale ; Burt Kwouk ; Graham Stark ; Shabana Azmi ; Debrah Farentino ; Jennifer Edwards ; Robert Davi ; Mark Schneider ; Mike Starr ; Kenny Spalding ; Anton Rodgers ; Nadim Sawalha ; Nicoletta Braschi ; Liz Smith
Synopsis:
Inspector Clouseau is back! Not the original, but his illegitimate son... Unfortunatley he's a chip off the old block! Blake Edwards, who expertly guided the late Peter Sellers through the most popular comedy series of all time, returns after an absence of 10 years with the Italian comedian, Roberto Benigni, as Clouseau Jr.


As the loyal, courageous but totally inept young Gendarme sets off in pursuit of the kidnapped Princess Yasmin of Lugash (Debrah Farentino), he is aided and abetted by such familiar faces as the long-suffering Commissioner Drefus (Herbert Lom), loyal man-servant Kato (Burt Kwok) and master disguise maker Dr. Auguste Balls (Graham Stark).



Fantastic work

Jrs, a couple questions. Is the 2 disc set for Batman Begins only coming out for region 2 or will region 1 also get 2 discs?

And will there be a better Sin City dvd soon coming out as opposed to the mediocre one that they put out?

As for the Sin City special edition, click here.

Excellent. Thanks man. I knew i was being a good boy when i held off from buying this latest sin city dvd.

I see the batman dvds are almost priced the same too. Especially with one having an extra disc in it. What's up with that.

Amazon is selling both versions at $15.98. While Wal Mart's web site offering the discs at a $4.00 difference...single disc for $15.87 and tyhe double disc for $19.88.
Alrighty then. Thanks.



I love that unrated Land of the Dead art work I will definitly be picking that movie up the day it comes out.

And Jrs im confused The Book of the dead edition for Evil dead 2 is that region 1 because I know they made one for the first evil dead but I can't find it in any stores they just have plain dvd versions with no special features. So are these two region 1 or 2

actually jason i live here in the States i was asking because i can't find the Book of the dead at any stores here so i thought maybe because its only region 2



It was released in R1 a while ago as a Limited Edition, so perhaps it's out of print. And it's never been released in R2 until now.
