Dreamgirls -- Due 5/1/07
Dreamworks Home Entertainment will release Dreamgirls on May 1st. The Academy Award-winning musical arrives in a single disc edition featuring an anamorphic widescreen transfer and Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks. The disc will also include 12 extended musical numbers and alternate scenes, a never-before-seen performance by Jennifer Hudson, and Beyonce's "Listen" music video.
Also available will be a two-disc "Showstopper Edition" which adds 12 never-before-seen musical numbers, a "Building the Dream" featurette, behind-the-scenes footage, auditions and screen tests, and more. Retail is $29.99 for the single-disc and $39.99 for the double-disc. Also look for HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc editions day-and-date. |
So it sounds like the 2 discer will be reintegrating the deleted/extended scenes. Hopefully this will be on Disc 2 with the featurette and disc 1 will be the same. (I do not want to shell out for theatrical cut as well - but I will.)

I'm hoping the "12 never-before-seen musical numbers" on the 2-disc set are in addition to the "12 extended musical numbers and alternate scenes" on the single disc. But either way, I'm sure I'll be picking up the 2-disc set.
Can't wait!! :drool: Rob |
Glad this was finally announced.
I'm with ohiobobcat and RobCA...I'm all over that 2-discer! |
Eddie Murphy may have stormed out of the Oscars after he lost to Alan Arkin, but he was OUTSTANDING in this film, and Jennifer Hudson was THE BEST. Will be picking this up for sure as it's an excellent musical!

Def. picking up the 2-disc. My personal choice for Supporting Actress was Adriana Barraza in Babel, but I'm happy that Jennifer Hudson (my runner-up) got recognition.
Here's to hoping she has a nice acting career in the future. |

WAY better than either CHICAGO or MOULIN ROUGE,that's for sure. |
I may blind-buy this on HD since I missed it's theatrical run completely.
|
Wow this looks like a great DVD, the only thing missing is a commentary.
Definite buy for me. |
I'll definitely be picking up the HD DVD. Hopefully they'll add a TrueHD soundtrack.

So, I am trying to figure out exactly how many times I need to buy this movie come 5/1.
It's times like these I hate being a fan. Walmart will have the exclusive 7 track remix CD with the 1 disc version. Circuit City has an exclusive deluxe edition with 2 DVDs and a 192 pg. book. Target's ad is a bit vague but it seems like they will either have a 3 disc version or extra exclusive content on the 2 disc version. I haven't heard a word about best buy yet. Any other random stores having any exclusives that anybody knows about? |

I never saw this but is this worth a blind buy? Or is this a rental?

It does look odd (because we never see it) to see the credit "AND INTRODUCING Academy Award Winner Jennifer Hudson". Somebody winning it on their first film is indeed a huge accomplishment.
