'Willard' Specs
From New Line
That's a lot of stuff for a movie that crapped out after 2 weeks (definitely not complaining).
- Widescreen & Fullscreen versions of the film
- 12 Deleted Scenes
- "Year of the Rat" - behind-the-scenes documentary on the making of Willard
- "Rat People" - documentary on real rats
- "BEN" music video
- Commentary by director Glen Morgan, Producer James Wong, Crispin Glover & R. Lee Ermey
- And more
- Retail is $27.98
- Releases 10/7/03

I love that someone named pac-rat chimed in first with the willard specs. so apt!
and I am so glad new line went out with this one. this film will definetly find its audience on dvd. much like the original dvd on home video.
crispin glover AND r. lee ermy on the commentary. this should be a pretty interesting experience.

Finally! I've been waiting for this announcement for months. This movie surprised me by being much better than I expected it to be. And thank you, New Line, for including the "Ben" music video on the disc. It's an absolute classic.

What's the OAR, is it anamorphic and what sound is available? Sheesh don't leave out so many details, that are so important to us anamorphic wide screen and Dolby Digital 5.1 users!

NICE! R. Lee is my favorite character actor--can't wait to hear this one. Cool little flick, as well. Danol--if it's new line platinum, you can be sure that it'll be in its OAR and have 5.1 sound.

Great news! I missed this when it was in the theaters, but I'll be buying this the day it comes out. I love it when studios don't judge a movie's box office performance on what they should include on their DVD's.

It sounded like an unnecessary remake when it hit theaters, and it still does. But ANY new Crispin Glover is a good thing, and I will definitely be picking this up!

Hmmm, I wonder if they'll include trailers for the movie on the DVD as well. There were two different trailers for the movie.
It would be great to hear that they were releasing the old Willard movie on DVD as well as the old Ben movie on DVD.
