Darkman (Special Edition)

[Dexter]

I work in the hollywood area and get tidbits of news from time to time from fellow friends within the biz.

I recently became friends with a few people who know some people at Universal. I received this email last night, that includes some preliminary art. (Complete with Raimi's name spelt wrong ) The email states that Universal are going to be releasing this sometime this fall or early next year to get in on the Spider-Man 3 hype. The case design as of now is to use the same type of metal case used on the DUNE E.E. eariler this year.

As of right now the disc will be a flipper dvd-18 with specs looking something like this. None of this is final at all!

Side A
- New Widescreen HD mastered transfer DARKMAN with new DD 5.1 and DTS mixes.
- Trailers, TV Spots
- Commentary by Sam Raimi (Not Definite)
- Isolated Score, Commentary by Elfman (Not Definite)
- Deleted, Alternate & extended scenes (being looked into as well as asking Raimi if he would like to extend the actual film)
- 1992 Darkman TV pilot (They want to include this, but are going over each rights holder carefully)
- 30-40 min of featurettes on the Darkman trilogy (no more info on that)

SIDE B
- Darkman 2 - The Return of Durant
- Darkman 3 - Die Darkman Die
- TV spots, Trailers (looks to be about the same as the current releases as of now )

The email did point out, that they are looking into possibly having two versions of Darkman if Raimi decides to do an extended cut. It is unsure if Raimi will be involved at all with this DVD due to SM3. As well as possibly including the alternate version of Darkman 2. If this all works out we may see extras added to the STV films and the set would become a 2 disc set. Reg disc for Darkman, Flipper for part 2 and 3.

Und wann kommt die nach Deutschland :icon_mrgreen: .  Wäre klasse, wenn Universal die auch hier veröffentlicht, zumindest Teil 1, diesmal aber uncut. :icon_smile:

Nein! Auf der zweiten Seite! Es ist eine DVD-18 :icon_cool: ;)

Aber die beiden Fortsetzungen sind mit dabei???

Sieht zumindest so aus! Jedenfalls gibt die von Dexter angegebene Quelle diese Informationen her!
