28 Days Later - Limited Edition - May 1st, 2007
 
In preparation for the new movie "28 Weeks Later" in theaters this May, a new edition of 28 Days Later is being released on DVD. I don't have the exact specs, but it'll have a preview of the new film, and an animated feature that bridges the storyline gap between the 1st and 2nd film.

Thanks!

Oh, and it has a free ticket to 28 Weeks Later

Cover Art is here:

According to DVD Active, the disc will be available to own from the 1st May, and should retail at around $19.98. The film itself will be presented in anamorphic widescreen, along with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround track. Extras will be identical to that of the current release, albeit with an exclusive sneak peek at the theatrical sequel 28 Weeks Later through behind-the-scenes footage, and an exclusive “28 Days Later: The Aftermath” animated featurette that bridges the storyline between the two films. As an added bonus for fans, the DVD will also include a Movie Money coupon good for one free admission.

I hope they play nice and include the animated bridge on the "28 Weeks Later" DVD for those that don't want to double-dip.

i didnt even know they were making a 28 weeks later. hmmm. hope it will be good.

Danny Boyle isn't directing, which makes me a little cautious.

digitalfreaknyc 02-09-07 04:19 PM

Are ANY of the original actors in it?

If there are no other exclusive extras, i'll be passing.

My god, what is UP with all the double-dips lately?!

Ditto.

The current version of 28 Days Later showed up in the OOP thread not long ago... So, I'm guessing this is just a "replacement" not so much a double-dip. Even though it is. Or something.

Was going to buy this a few times in the past and never did. GLad I waited and will get this version instead.

Same here. Also glad I waited, and will likely be picking up this one. Just hope the sequel carries more from the original than name recognition.

not interested in this since i just got my in the mail today.

i ordered it from DDD....and holy shit, this thing had like 3 barcode stickers directly on the case. it also had this savage little sticker magnet that ripped off a little piece of the plastic from the dvd case when i removed it. the case is ruined, good movie though.

Love that cover!

Doesn't seem to be an upgrade over the original in the quality department .. p/q and audio. I'll skip this one. A couple of local shops around me have a ton of used copies of the original for around $5 .. there's no need to upgrade unless you're seriously into extras. ... not sure if they will be worth it either ..

CertifiedTHX 06-13-07 06:17 PM

So, this was just abandoned, wasn't it?

Unless, of course, something is planned as a tie-in with the DVD release of 28 Weeks Later.

Could be. Might release a double-pack or maybe a 3-disc SE...

Seantn 06-13-07 06:50 PM

They even released the artwork for this, but I guess in the end either decided to delay it or cancel it altogether. It was released in another region, though.

ShaunoftheDead 06-14-07 08:25 AM

I think it came down with rage and slowly died due to lack of food.

Giggles 06-29-07 05:19 PM

It's out on R2 UK. Just saw it in a store here in Moscow, checked amazon.co.uk - and there it was.

Rammsteinfan 07-10-07 09:09 AM

It appears that 28 weeks later will have the animated short instead.

Guess I should just get the initial release for 28 days later instead of waiting for the limited edition which doesnt appear to be coming out.

"When days turns to weeks..."?!?!

Seantn 07-10-07 02:36 PM

Yep. (!?!?)

wennma01 07-10-07 03:29 PM

i thought days was pretty good, but i really loved this movie when i saw it in theaters...i'll be getting this

any word of a 2-pack (i never bought days)?

Seantn 07-10-07 03:32 PM

Maybe a mod can change this thread title to something like "28 Days Later - Limited Edition (CANCELLED)"

Rammsteinfan 07-10-07 03:56 PM

I just went ahead and got the original release today for $7 at Target. If they come out with something better then ill pass this on to another friend or resell it.
