Frighteners SE DVD???

Was there ever a DVD version that contained the extras of the SE Laserdisc?

I'm curious if any DVD release will ever feature the full 4 1/2 hour documentary that was on the SE laserdisc. I'm a bit doubtful about that happening any time soon. (for example, Universal's DVD of Jaws had a condensed version of the orginal LD documentary)

I've been constantly emailing universal and hopefully with the release of KING KONG next year, they can cross promote a brand new 3 Disc SE of Frighteners with it...

this movie wasnt that popular. sure its one of my favorites, but it wouldnt be cost worthy for universal to put out a 3 disc set. I doubt you will ever see a SE. If you do it wont have the 4 hr documentary on it. I bet you will see this set on the new Blue ray format though and they will put it all on 1 disc.

Why wouldn't they release this? They don't have to spend any money on producing the material, and Peter Jackson is HUGE right now.

Universal is just run by a bunch of morons. That's the only reason I can figure why they haven't released this yet.

I love this movie too. This is one I would double dip on. I just don't think it would be that big of a film to release again. I didn't even know this was a Peter Jackson film until I read it here.

This is my most wanted DVD ever. I would give anything to have this. I can't believe that they are releasing it because as everyone else said....the ties to Jackson would sure help sell this one even if it is a very odd, but fun, movie.

Definately one of my favorite movies. It's definately underrated, I think its a great movie. I've never seen the 4 hour documentary so I hope they do something with a new SE to get that on there. But again, even with Peter Jackson's fame with LOTR, I doubt interest will be hightened in his non LOTR stuff, because of the kind of movies all of them are.

Meet The Feebles
Dead Alive
Bad Taste

etc etc

Actually it isn't really a 4 hr documentary. A hour of it are story board comparisions. I would be more interested in just getting the directors cut of the film because the cuts the made on the movie are helerious.
