Lewman @ 7:05 am EST

Imagine my shock when I open my mailbox and am greeted to an e-mail from one of our great sources, telling us that the Forgotten Silver Special Edition DVD is soon to be released. My jaw literaly dropped. I always thought that this would be one of the last of PJ's films to be released onto DVD, and for it to get such a great treatment, well It made me cream my underwear.
Check this info out:

First of all it's being released by first run features (these were the guys that handled the US release of FS)

It'll have a retail of $29.95 (undoubtdly we'll be able to pick it up cheaper)

Now get a load of these extra features:
First we are going to have Deleted Footage an Audio Commentary and many many Production Stills. Thats pretty damn sweet. We have no word on who will be doing the audio commentary, but a good guess would be Costa Boates.

Oh and you think we are finished there with the extras? Ha! try these on for size as well! :)

Interviews with directors Peter Jackson and Costa Botes; Interviews with key cast and crew; Special FX shots

Now I think you'll agree that is an excellent dvd specification! :)

One thing that i thought was intresting was that the running time was quoted as 80 minutes, the original running time is around 54 minutes, could we be seeing an extended version of FS? :)

This amazing DVD is being released on Tuesday 19th December 2000 So we dont have long to wait :) You can rest assured we'll be reviewing this DVD as soon as we can get hold of a copy :)

We'll keep you informed of any more information we get, till then the press release can be found here
