Elektra - (4/5/05)!
 
From DVDAnswers:

Fox Home Entertainment has officially announced Elektra which stars Jennifer Garner and Goran Visnjic. The disc will be available to own from the 5th April, and should set you back around $29.98. The film itself will be presented in anamorphic widescreen along with both English DTS 5.1 and Dolby Digital 5.1 audio tracks. Extras will include three deleted scenes (running to around five minutes in total), a thirteen minute making of Elektra featurette, a Comic-Con Presentation, an Inside the Editing Room feature which looks at the editing for several different scenes and both the theatrical teaser and trailer. Completing this new package will be a soundtrack promo and an Inside Look at the Fantastic Four and Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Fox has yet to release the official package artwork I'm afraid, but we'll bring you that very shortly. Stay tuned.
Even though it pretty much bombed, I'll probably pick it up for completeness sake to go along with the Daredevil discs.

Wow, 2 1/2 months for the DVD? That's almost as fast as <i>Surviving Christmas</i> and they rushed that to get it out for the holidays.

Matthew Chmiel 02-01-05 01:56 PM

Woo hoo! First theatrical release of 2005 to be announced for DVD!

Way to go FOX! ;)

REL77 02-01-05 01:58 PM

I would like to hear a commentary from J Garner since she has spoken out saying this wasnt her best work, and wasnt a well done movie

asianxcore 02-01-05 02:10 PM

Thanks for the info!

Still on the fence about picking this up. A Jennifer Garner commentary would definitely be a plus.

:lol:

She did not!

You read that IMDB rumor posting about Michael Vartan saying she didn't like the film. Hardly "speaking out."

darmok 02-01-05 02:45 PM

still, that's pretty bad when you "hear" that the star is saying such things about her own movie.

LorenzoL 02-01-05 02:50 PM

Definite rental for me.

Do you pride yourself on only keeping hits in your collection?

From IMDB? <i>Come on</i>. They should call that section of the site, "Things we made up today."

Well, here's the same story in the Houston Chronicle

Master Shake 05 02-01-05 03:08 PM

"Elektra - (4/5/05)!"

And at 4/6 i still won't care...

darmok 02-01-05 03:29 PM

actually, i read it in the daily paper, forgot was it the NY Daily News or Post.

Romerojpg 02-01-05 03:34 PM

I will avoid the R1 dvd and go for the UK and asian 2 dvd special editions.

First time I read of it was in this week's copy of US Weekly

TNAJason 02-01-05 04:33 PM

I need to go Region-Free,but don't have the money to buy the player.
I LOVED Elektra,and can't wait for this release :D

Cameron 02-01-05 04:51 PM

MAO predicted this one a few days ago...you guys should check out the thread at the top of the page...good stuff goes on there....

QuiGonJosh 02-01-05 05:16 PM

Awesome! I really dug this flick. Sounds like a good disc. Gotta love Fox, DTS on just about every title. Suck it Columbia!

Bummer on the lack of commentary from Bowman.

critterdvd 02-01-05 05:34 PM

I'll pick this up to put with my "Alias" DVDs... but my one question is this: If Jennifer Garner did do a commentary what would be consist of becuase her "Im sorry about this movie" repeated for 90 minutes?

Get Me Coffee 02-01-05 05:35 PM

Skipped it in the theater....Rather pick it up for $14 dollars than pay $19 at the theater.

Then I guess you would have to pick up the original "Hulk" movies with Bill Bixby considering Daredevil was in one of those. It is probably just as good as this bomb. I mean for completist sake. Even though this one has nothing to do with "Daredevil" theatrical and DC, except the one character.

It really has nothing to do with Daredevil at all. There were some interesting bits but the movie was pretty poor. I advise a rental.

DonnachaOne 02-01-05 06:41 PM

How much do you wanna bet that it'll come with a Fantastic 4 moviecash ticket/card?

Well, by completeness sake, I mean any and all comic book movies made within the past say 16 years since the '89 Batman film. Not a big fan of the Superman movies, or the '91 Captain America movie (but who is?)

TNAJason 02-01-05 08:25 PM

I smell a Elektra:1.5 or Elektra:Director's Cut in November. I smell it like it will come out the same day Fantastic Four comes to DVD. This is a strong smell. And for once I hope it's real,as I want a SE of this. Again,I LOVED it.

I just went region-free. I bought the Cyberhome CH-DVD 300 at Wal-Mart yesterday for $38.00 and change. Very easy remote hack to make the player region free!!

Take care!!

rafaeljose 02-01-05 08:30 PM

From the negative feedback that Ive been hearing from this movie, I doubt that I will pick this title up. Even, Jennifer Garner in a sexy outfit couldnt make me want to buy this stinker.

Just be aware that I don't believe this player does proper 16x9 PAL conversion, so you're gonna get some minor distortion when playing R2/R4 PAL discs. It's the only reason that held me back from picking this up as a backup region-free player. Sure can't beat the price otherwise, though!

Thanks for the info! I only have Army Of Darkness Region 3 at the moment and it played and looked great!! I will keep your info in mind when I get around to getting any R2 or R4 dvd's

Apoligies to the mods for getting this thread off topic!!

Take care all!!

Do you consider that a trusted news source?

I'm not saying Garner didn't say this, but there's been no quote.

FOUR opens 7/4.

It won't come with moviecash.

Why not? X-Men 1.5 came with a moviecash ticket that could be used for Daredevil or X-Men 2 - LONG before X-Men 2 came out.

Why not? Because I wasn't aware the cash was good for X2 in the past, that's why.

Omyard 02-02-05 10:48 PM

When the first trailer was released I couldn't believe how bad the movie looked.

This is one DVD that I have no desire to ever own or see.

The Phillips 642 runs $70 at Walmart and Target. The one time hack takes less than 30 seconds. There are several threads in the international forum if you want more info.

Crow331 02-07-05 12:10 AM

I saw the movie and liked it. It's not great, but I found it entertaining and this is NOWHERE near the piece of crap the critics are making it out to be. I look forward to the dvd, I hope one of the deleted scenes is the Affleck/Daredevil cameo cause I wanna see it.

obfusc8 02-07-05 12:19 AM

FUN GAME FOR ELEKTRA FANS.
Replay Jennifer Garner's SAG Award acceptance speech and replace 'Alias' with 'Elektra'. Absolutely surreal.

emhello 02-07-05 12:23 AM

Bad movie. I won't be getting this.
