Final Destination 3 -- July 25th
Artwork is here: http://www.bloody-disgusting.com//uploads/fd3040406.jpg
I didn't realize New Line had started to give their dvd's "Edition" names. This is the "2 Disc Thrill Ride Edition". Could be worse, I guess. It's being released in seperate Widescreen and Fullscreen versions.
Full Specs:
• “Choose-Their-Fate” Interactive feature (Disc 1)
• Feature commentary by director and co-writer James Wong, co-writer Glen Morgan and director of photography Robert Mclachlan (Disc 1)
• “It’s All Around You” animated short: a look at death statistics (Disc 2)
• “Dead Teenager Movie” featurette: a look at the teen horror genre (Disc 2)
• “Kill Shot: The Making of Final Destination 3" documentary (Disc 2)
• “Planned Accidents” featurette (Disc 2)
• “Police Station” deleted scene (Disc 2)
• Theatrical trailer (Disc 2)
• 16x9 widescreen (2.35:1) version of the film
• Dolby Digital 5.1 EX, DTS 6.1 ES and Stereo Surround 2.0
• English subtitles and closed captions
• Spanish subtitles

Ugh...just go here for the artwork. I didn't realize it was hotlinking if I just posted a link to the image, I didn't want to post the actual image here without their permission. Oh well.

That sounds good, but I'm starting to miss cast commentaries. It's like you don't see them nearly as much anymore for new movies.
And why does New Line take so long with their releases? Most movies nowadays come out 3-4 months.

I thought FD3 was some goofy, gory fun. I'm glad they're giving this the 2 disc treatment, but why the lame edition name, not to mention the worst cover yet for the series...Usually I like when they use poster art, but I was hoping they'd come up with something more inline with the FD1 & FD2 designs...Still picking it up anyhow.

Have great love for boxed sets, but already own the Scared 2 Death Pack, as well as each film separately, so not sure if I want three copies of two films just to have this one. I'll decide closer to release day.

Even though I'm a big fan of the series, I thought the third was the worst of the bunch. However, I just read a news item on Joblo.com that has me highly anticipating the DVD release. Here's all the important info from the link:
New Line has decided to take the "Choose Your Own Adventure" gimmick to DVD with the upcoming release of FINAL DESTINATION 3. Like the books, the DVD will give you choices at various points throughout the movie where you can opt to have Wendy "take another look" or "soap up the cheerleading squad in a hot, steamy shower." Whether that last choice makes the cut or is just my disturbing imagination remains to be seen. The seven choices of action will be presented in 10-minute intervals allowing viewers to see a distinctly different movie than the theatrical cut. The script was written by James Wong, who filmed the scenes as he directed the pic last year. The extra footage cost New Line approximately $1 million to shoot. The DVD, subtitled THRILL RIDE, will hit stores on July 25.

Hopefully they re-edit the roller coaster scene. That was so weak as far as the big opening death sequences go.

I copied this from Wikipedia. Here is all of the information regarding the "Choose Their Fate" feature the first disc contains. Caution: spoilers abound below.
Sounds like fun!

The first "Choose Their Fate" was pretty lame, IMO, as is the text, going on about
The rest were decent, but I prefer the theatrical version.
One thing I did notice is that there was a 2 second sound drop on the DTS-ES track, about 1:15 in, when Ian is at the celebration, mentioning that "death skipped me. I can't die!", and
. I played it again, same result, however the drop isn't there on the DD 5.1 track.
Pretty cool movie overall. I'm a fan of the franchise, never expected anything logical, as I appreciate the intricacy and originality of the deaths. But the window pane from FD 2..? Give me a break.
