Looks to be the third release of the film in R1 and the first time that content will be spread across two discs. Wish I had more information, but this is something I see as a pre-order at Columbia House and they tend not to have a lot of information on anything that they put up for pre-order until much closer to the release date.

I'm guessing they will need to reveal a lot more of Natasha in order for a lot of people to double- or triple-dip on this, right?

i wonder if the second disk will be the bonus disk from the box set and the first disk the edition with 2 commentaries.

I have the 1 disk SE with the commentaries (and i also still have the Total movie magazine dvd with the movie on it as well) so i think this will have to be really worthwhile to double dip again.

I believe the new Direct to Video Species IV is being released that day as well.

I wondered about this I noticed it recently went out of print. MGM is wonderful to make 3 different versions of this and Showgirls but does nothing with their Kubrick titles.

Species and Showgirls have something the old MGM Kubricks dont have: lots of titties.

Unfortunately for us, Kubrick learned this lesson far too late.

Looks like the stuff from the bonus disk in the box set:

Total Movie magazine....is that the one that is now defunct? I used to love that magazine....damn it!

Seeing as how the old edition is anamorphic, I don't see myself double dipping on this. The film certainly isn't good enough to warrant me spending more than the $10 I already did. Unless they have a bonus feature that includes 30 min. of Natasha topless, I don't see it being worth the $.

Yea that magazine was pretty kick ass, too bad they had to many problems running it.

Is there really an audience for yet another Species release?

It's kind of sad the original poster artwork is not being used. And the laughable alteration made to the previous SE is somewhat expanded for the new release. I guess implied nudity,but not really showing nudity is too 'taboo' today. So the previous release added a bad half top on her. And the new cover has her in a full metalic colored dress! The new cover at least doesn't look 'that bad' in terms of the clothing design on her. But it's sad that the original poster,where she is obviously nude..but you don't see any actual nudity is probably gone for good because of the prude police.

Thats exactly what it is. No reason to buy this since I already own the box set.

DVD Polizei

Oh Jesus, No. Say it isn't so, bro.

EvlAsh

It appears that two featurettes, Species 2: Eve of Destruction and Species 3: Genesis, are MIA. But I'll triple-dip on this since I never bought the boxed set.

EvlAsh

By the way, Species: The Awakening will be premier on the Sci-Fi channel September 29.

Mr. Cinema

So basically, the only thing new about this release compared to anything Species related before, is there will be a small Fox logo on the back packaging.

TRC

There's a Species and Alien double feature so not even that is new.

Trevor

Did anyone verify if the 2nd disc on the new release is exactly the same as the old 4th disc in the trilogy boxset?

EvlAsh

They replaced the following featurettes, "Species 2: Eve of Destruction" and "Species 3: Genesis" with the "Species 4: The Awakening Sneak Peek." And also removed the MGM preview trailers and MGM preview poster art. Other than that, the special features are the same.

Trevor

Awesome thanks! The completest in me will have to keep the trilogy set then, or maybe just the 4th disc.....
