Can't believe that no-one has posted this yet, but Empire magazine ( www.empireonline.com) has big news on the UK release of Serenity. Apparently we'll be getting all the extras from the R1 release, plus a 20-minute R2 exclusive documentary entitled A Film-maker's Journey, detailing Joss's efforts to get the BDM made. Thank you Universal!

Sorry if this has already been posted, but I feel the need to spread the word!

27 February - UK Serenity Day!

I think it has been posted, but you still get points for the enthusiasm ;)

Where was the post? I checked back to about November and couldn't find anything. Typical of me to be bearing old news. Woops!

I've not seen a thread about the Region 2 (UK & Europe) DVD anywhere else at all. So it's news to me, and maybe to everyone else too.

Well done for the scoop!

Posted before but always good to spread the word.

Region 4 (Australia etc) are getting 2 discs with a few more extras. I've pre-ordered one from there since I want as much Serenity goodness as I can get. Tin box too if you get it from EZDVD! Just make sure you've got a region-free DVD player of course :)

Thanks, RelFexive.

Mmm... tin box! Want! But how come only R4 gets the posh 2-disc treatment? Any news on these extra, er, extras?

Stores like HMV and Virgin sometimes produce exclusive collector's slipcases (Constantine was one such example - I counted four different cover options!). Maybe they'll do something for Serenity? I'll post nearer the time if I find out anything.

The extras from the site:

# A Filmmakers Journey - Journey with Joss from Script to Screen (exclusive to Australian DVD)
# Joss Whedon Q&A Session - Filmed at Fox Studios in Sydney (exclusive to Australian DVD)
# Extended Scenes (exclusive to Australian DVD)
# Take a Walk on Serenity - Cast and Crew take us on a special tour of the Serenity ship (exclusive to Australian DVD)
# The Green Clan - Expose on Cinematographer Jack Green and his team (exclusive to Australian DVD)

Obviously the first one is just exclusive to all the international versions of the DVD, but the rest are only in the Region 4 release AFAIK.

Thanx, Kazzahdrane. Looks like I'm going to have to dust off my multi-region player. And my credit card.

G'day!

That's why I pre-ordered an Australian copy from JB Hi Fi last month.

Keep in mind too that if you are buying other regions not only do you have to have a region free player, but one that will accept PAL (the US is on NTSC). If you don't your DVD's will look very distorted if they play at all.
