It would be hard to beat all of the extras on the R2 disc. The thing is packed. I wonder if they will import all of those to the R1 release.

Very funny movie!

Now I'll have to decide between the Region 1 / Region 2 releases.

Haven't been able to catch this one in the theaters but looks like a pretty good blind buy.

If you like British comedy and zombie movies, I'd say so.

Great movie. Will definitely be picking this up. Hope it gets a good R1 treatment, given that I'm not region free (or at least I'm not with my good DVD player/TV -- only with the crappy ones in the bedroom).

Why I'm waiting

From what Edgar Wright (the film's director) said at Comic-Con this year in San Diego, his goal is to port over everything from the R2 disc and add some new stuff for R1. It;s the reason I haven't gotten the R2 yet. (Not that I'm holding my breath for a Spaced R1 set).

I also made sure to ask Wright if the version we saw at Comic-Con (and that was released in theaters) was the "longest possible director's cut" of the film, and he said it was, so no multi-dipping, a la the film's antecedent, Dawn of the Dead.

CDE,

CS

True. I've had the R2 for at least a month now ad I'm still not through all the extras!

Says there will be all the same stuff as R2 and possibly some new stuff as well.

Great Movie by the way, any zombie lover can appreciate this.

Awesome. I was worried that it wasn't going to be as jam packed as the R2 version.

If there are any new things I will have no problem double dipping on this. Such a fantastic movie.

I hope that they put the extras on another disc since the R2 is overflowing with extras.

Cant wait to pick it up, loved it!

Now if we could only get Undead from down under to get a release here. I want to see it on the big screen, its another good zombie type flick.

This is great news. I almost bought the R2, but I'm glad I held off.

Awesome, I was about to order from England, but now I'll wait. That's a pretty fast release.

The theatrical release of 'Dawn of the Dead' was Romero's director's cut.

Personally, I like the prospect of an Italian horror filmmaker re-cutting 'Shaun' to make it more of a straight horror movie... sounds intriguing.

I saw Shaun in the theater and thought it was great. If you are a fan of The Office (british tv show) you will notice some familiar faces. I'm glad its going to have most of/or all of the same extras as the R2 disc. Can't wait.

I can virtually guarantee that all of the R2 supplements will be carried over. Why? Because, LAST WEEK, I finally broke down and bought the R2 edition. I figured "there's no way in hell they'll put all of this on the R1 edition".

Those without region-free machines can thank me now.

Well that's good news about the R1 getting all the R2 extras and potentially more. I'm not sad that I picked up the R2. seeing it at home over and over again has been a blast.

Though I really doubt SPACED will come out in R1.
