"Fantastic Four" double dip?

I'm sold too. The movie was only mediocre in my opinion, but comic books were my first love, so I'm a sucker for comic book movies and buy almost all of them.
Aside: I was browsing the bargain bin at WalMart the other day and saw Kull the Conqueror with Kevin Sorbo. I don't think I want to risk watching that......

I have yet to watch this movie. I didn't bother with the first release but since this EE has both the extended and theatrical versions, I'm buying it.

Okay, I'm comparing the upcoming 2-disc features list from the previous page to what is on the current single-disc release + the Target and Wal-Mart bonus discs.
The cast commentary on the current disc lists 5 participants: Ioan Gruffudd, Jesica Alba, Chris Evans, Michael Chiklis and Julian McManon.
The 2-disc specs reads: Cast Commentary by Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba and Michael Chiklis
What happened Chris Evans and Julian McMahon?? Did the marketing folks just forget to list them, have their remarks been deleted from the track, or is this a different commentary?
Also, as previously mentioned, other features from the single disc release are missing from the upcoming 2-disc:
The X3 exclusive preview
The Fantistic Four Video Diary - Behind-the-scenes Home Video Hosted by Entire Cast
Fox Movie Channel Presents Casting Sessions & Making a Scene
Music Videos
Now, onto the Wal-Mart bonus disc: The Making of Fantastic Four. It runs 49 minutes 26 seconds.
According to The Valeyard's post, the Wal-Mart bonus disc was a cut-down version of the "Heroes Are Born Making Of Fantastic Four" documentary. I think they cut out like 30 or 40 minutes.
So, did the Region 2 version of this doc originally have a 90-minute run time? Or is 50 minutes all it ever was?
The Target bonus disc seems to have both of its featurettes carried over to the upcoming 2-disc release: "From Comic Book to Film" Adaptation Featurette (now listed on disc 2 under the "Collectibles" bullet point) and "The Baxter Building: Declassified" Behind-the-Scenes Featurette. The only other thing on the Target disc is trailers for Daredevil, Elektra, TLoEG and X2.
I'm just trying to see what, if anything, I may want to keep from the current release, or if it is time to eBay the three discs I have....

Seems to be more then what was originally mentioned in another thread.
