Funny Games U.S. - June 10th

Haneke's remake hits DVD on 6/10. No extras announced yet, but the film will have a 1.85:1 anamorphic transfer and a Dolby Digital 5.1 track.

I'll probably pick it up just to own something that has Naomi Watts bound and gagged for an hour.

Thank you for the news.

I will however more than likely avoid this film. I am big fan of Haneke's work and found this remake practically pointless. Perhaps others will find more in it than I did..

Do you have a source? I will pick this up, the killer's personalities were just too funny to pass up.

From my post at DVD Active:

Saw this one...loved it. I was the only one in the theater to "get it", which was satisfaction enough given some of the totally retarded comments that came out of these peoples mouths.

I like the other poster, but the Watts one is fine for me.

As for extras, just a commentary will do. I feel as if a making of will really take away from the message. But a director's commentary should do just fine.

Lastly I want to note the sound design in this film is f**king incredible. It made you feel like you were in the room with them.

Just watched this last night and I was riveted.

Those last 20 minutes really screwed with my head!

Easily one of the better films I've seen so far this year.
