For those who are interested and haven't sen this yet, it's supposed to be out in March but I did not see a date listed. I wish they had announced it sooner. Oh well, I guess I can put my two copies of this one next to my original and Criterion versions of RoboCop. Armageddon
available on DVD and laserdisc
2 DVDs $49.95/4-sided laserdisc $99.95
153 minutes
Both versions include:
€An exclusive widescreen transfer of the director's cut, personally
supervised by Michael Bay. This version has added dialogue and footage,
most notably a scene between Bruce Willis' character and his father
€Two commentary tracks
€Track 1 features Michael Bay, Jerry Bruckheimer, Bruce Willis, and Ben Affleck
€Track 2 features cinematographer John Schwartzman, NASA consultant Joe
Allen, and asteroid consultant Ivan Bekey
€Michael Bay's gag reel - a reel made for the wrap party with great outtakes
€Deleted scenes compilation - scenes not vital enough to make the director's cut, but still interesting to take a look at
€Analyses of the special effects by the visual effects supervisors:
€Richard Hoover - this piece deals with all the shuttle/asteroid sequences created at Dreamquest. It goes into detail about the look of the asteroid
€Pat McClung, the effects supervisor for the rest of the movie, discusses the job of an effects supervisor and details different shots.
€Hoyt Yeatman deals exclusively with the destruction of Paris shot. It goes into great detail on the various levels involved in creating one 11-second effect shot
€Production designer Michael White discusses the look of Armageddon; features some cool behind the scenes shots and really beautiful production design drawings, storyboards and additional production design drawings
