28 Weeks Later -> Oct 9th, 2007
The sequel to Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, is scheduled to be released on October 9th, according to DVDActive.
The extras look about average. I missed this in the theaters, so I will definitely be picking this up. I really hope they revise the cover art though. The side-profile view of the guy in the Haz-Mat suit and mask used in the poster for the film would be much better and make it look less "direct-to-video".
The film itself will be presented in anamorphic widescreen, along with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround track. DVD Extras will include an audio commentary by director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo and Co-Writer Enrique Lopez Lavigne, a Code Red: Making Of 28 Weeks Later Behind-The-Scenes featurette, an Infected Make-Up Effects featurette, a Getting Into The Action featurette, and a 28 Days Later: The Aftermath Flash-Animated Graphic Novel. Completing the package will be deleted scenes with optional commentary, and the theatrical trailers.

according to rumour here's the proposed BR release and it's not street date to the standard DVD. Any news from Fox is purely speculative.

Yeah. I'd like to get the poster too.

My favorite movie of 2007! I loved it so much that I even rented it twice when it became available in hotel rooms, showing it to other zombie fans!
It really is a superb, terrifying movie. I cant wait till Tuesday!

I'm tempted to buy this this week but for some reason this movie just seems to scream $6.99 in a month or 2 to me. I may hold off for a bit.

I'll be picking this up. I'll have to pick up the first one, too...saw the first, but this one is a blind buy.
And you can count me in as another one that's pissed that there's no slip cover. Dumb Fox will probably do what they did with the first one, and put one on it in the future.
