By this point, you already know that "Twilight" is coming to DVD on March 21st but along with the release of the Two Disc Special Edition there are also a number of Collector's Editions available through a number of retailers. As of this morning, I'm aware of two different editions.
Borders Exclusive Edition
The Borders Exclusive Edition includes the 2 Disc SE along with a bonus DVD which includes:
• Exclusive Twilight Cast Interviews with Kristen Stewart (Bella) and Robert Pattinson (Edward)
• Exclusive Twilight Cast Interviews with Cam Gigandet (James)
• Exclusive Twilight Cast Interviews with Edi Gathegi (Laurent) and Rachelle Lefevre (Victoria)
• Exclusive Red-Carpet Interviews from the Twilight Movie Premiere
• Exclusive Never-Before-Seen Red-Carpet Footage! Includes extra interview footage with Kellan Lutz (Emmett), Ashley Greene (Alice), rock band Paramore, and Nikki Reed (Rosalie)
• Exclusive Borders Book Club: Stephenie Meyer talks about the Twilight Saga
Exclusive Photocards
10 exclusive photocards are printed on a gorgeous pearlescent paper to give a dramatic sparkly effect—the perfect way to view your favorite vampires
That edition is available only through Borders at a cost of $29.99 which is only $5 dollars more than the list price for the Standard 2 Disc release.
Since I don't have a Blu-ray player and I don't care much for jewelry, I skipped out on the Amazon offer for the Border's offer instead. Plus, $70US is a little hefty for my wallet.
Hot Topic Release
Hot Topic is releasing the 2 Disc special edition at the same cost of most retailers ($24.99) but as an added bonus, you get:
Barnes & Noble is releasing the 2 Disc special edition for $26.39 but as an added bonus, you get:
• Customizable Twilight Skin for your cell phone, PDA or MP3 player (individual code redeemable at Skinit.com)
You can PLACE YOUR ORDER HERE. If you find any other Collector's Editions, please let me know. I'll provide updates as more become available.
NOTE:Apparently the Special Edition Blu-Ray disc will only be availabe on March 21st via Best Buy and Target (though neither site has the DVD listed for pre-sale) and then to all other retailers on May 5th. This seems like a bit of a moronic move but I'm sure they've got their reasons. Also note that they've added a new feature (to the Blu-Ray edition at least): "BD Live with "New Moon" teaser" - whatever that means.
So we already know about the release on March 21st (did you check out my totally kickin' counter? OK, it's only kinda cool. Actually, it's a tad cheesy but oh well) and we have another update, this time on what's going to be includingon the 2 Disc DVD.
Still no release date or specs on the DVD but Summit has released the cover art for the 2 disc special edition release of "Twilight".
Slightly disappointed that they've gone with something so generic but it was to be expected. I haven't been able to track down any other details but will post them as soon as they're available.
Turns out that this is turning into a bit of a "Twilight" blog and apparently, I have all the answers. Well, I don't have all the answers - I'm just a fan yet, I've had a few people contact me about the DVD release of the film. I posted a few details earlier but in case you missed it...
I have no idea when the film will be released. In an interview, Catherine mentioned Spring of 2009 and there's been talk of a release between February and April though if I had to guess, I'm thinking later in the year considering the film is still doing so well in theatres.
As for the DVD itself, Hardwicke has talked about a number of deleted scenes which will appear on the DVD release including a scene from "Midnight Sun". You can check out all the details of that from an interview at MTV. Unfortunately, that interview isn't available to folks outside the US and I can't seem to find it on YouTube but if you know where it's at, please leave a link in the comments section. I found this but it appears to be only a portion of the interview.
If you're really keen, you can already Pre-Order the DVD from Amazon.ca.
One of the other videos everyone was talking about from the MTV awards on the weekend was the Seth Rogan and James Franco weed smoking incident which was, apparently, hilarious. But because the folks at MTV are lame asses, anyone outside of the US wasn't able to see the "official" clip care of the MTV crew. For some reason, this one also took a little longer to pop up on-line (in decent quality) but I just saw it this morning and frankly, it's simply not that funny - though Franco does NOT disappoint. Yum.
So I did wait. Actually, I'm not even sure if the awards show was on Canadian TV but I managed to completely forget the awards was even on which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Here's the clip:
Updated with better version of clip!
It's a bit dark to see much of anything but you certainly get the sense for what's going on. Tantalizing! vball * LoveR has posted some great looking stills from the trailer on her Flickr page and they look *very* nice.
I have little to no interest in the upcoming MTV Movie Awards but now that I've discovered that "Twilight" will be premiering one of the first clips of the film at the awards show, I may be inclined to watch.
Who knows, maybe I can control myself long enough for the bloody thing to pop-up on-lin but I'm just not sure I can wait that long...
