he's on the fool screen cover

even though I didn't really care for the movie, the cover looks nice at elast

You mean Deathstrike? I don't like calling her something that wasn't mentioned in the movie, and for people that might not know :P Anyway, it certainly looks cool with her on the disc, so its fine by me :)

Also... where did you pick up that there's no DTS? Nothing mentioned in this thread gives me that impression. And considering Daredevil has DTS, which was also released by FOX, along with X-Men 1.5, i'd think this release would as well.

william stryker calls her by that name.

is deathstike used in the film? i don't remember.


fox usually uses digipaks. like the recent 2-disc something about mary. i don't think they will use amarays. Instead they will probably get rid of the second disc later on.

Er... i guess your right. For some reason i kept thinking of an interview or something where Kelly Hu just said Deathstrike. Nevermind. Tiring day :(

And Daredevil is in a regular keepcase, so there's definitly a possiblity.

Is there confirmation that they will do a X2.5 verison?

No. Just speculation from paranoid fans.

I can't say for sure the U.S. version will be DD only but this is what I've seen so far.

Now I'm curious... is the name deathstryke ever used in the movie? I would guess it's used in that trailer where they name everyone one by one.

And I did not know daredevil was an amaray. Then you're right, there's a big possibility they won't match. Grrr is right.

But you know the cover design is similar to 1.5. Let's hope they decide to main continuity.

I assume the Bryan Singer commentary will be on the next release along with the DTS track, hmm? This edition already looks like it has a nice handful of extras, but yeah I think they'll pull some more out of their asses for a 2.5 or whatever they want to call it.

I have a strong feeling it WON'T be called 2.5 though because 1.5 only implied the longer director's cut that Singer wanted on the 1.5 discs in the first place. Time constraints forced them to dump that project and just release it with the 1.5 moniker without the extended version of the first movie, which was as dissappointing for Singer as it was for us.

Strangely enough the supposed region 2 artwork shows the dts logo on the spine. The plot thickens...

Oh man, that looks really sweet. I'm jealous... :(

I like that region 2 cover more. Hopefully they'll have it on DVDcoverart.com in the future.


doc

Someone at the HTF made a cover that easily beats all the others. :)

I'm pretty sure "Deathstrike" was used a number of times in the movie, probably every time by Stryker... I don't think she was ever called Lady Deathstrike though...
It looks like they put her on the other disc because it's a nice contrast to Wolverine.

Well that region 2 artwork may have dts, but that region 2 would be Japan (and not Europe as the link supports). Not to mention the specs are only partial and not for R1.

Now THAT'S the cover they should go with! :D :up:

You really like that? Thats a terrible cover. Very homemade looking. Also Rogue alone on the cover is a confusing choice.

I remember "Deathstrike" was at least used in the "cast of characters" trailer (tv spot?).

:lol: I think you're missing the point.

Anna Paquin = :drool::up:
That Cover Overall = :yack:

Well, I made a suggestion at the HTF that it might have been cool if they made a bunch of different cover arts using the various single character posters that were used to promote the movies. And for obvious reasons, I like that Anna Paquin poster, heh heh... Also, it was just a rush job someone did for a joke. C'mon people...

Region 2 cover is 100x better.

i would like to have seen them just use the teaser art.
graphically, every other ad-mat design they came up with looked amateurish to me.

:lol:

It was only called X-Men United in the damn trailers, so I wish it wasn't on the cover.

I'll get this eventually, but I really enjoyed the Singer commentary on the borrowed copy of 1.5 I listened too... so I'll hold out for another edition.. for a while.
