Not surprised at all this is being released. I am looking forward to watching the feature length "Making of" Documentary on this disc. FOX has done a pretty good job with these Docs on their 2-disc sets and not making them EPK fluff. I'll definitely pick this up.

When I was in Japan 2 years ago, I saw a 2-disc Collector's Edition of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen with tons of extras. I know the movie was crap, but I wonder if that will eventually make it's way to the U.S. as well.

How many places will sell this at full retail? It should be fairly easy to be had at around $15 or so.

Exactly. I would expect to see a ticket for FF2 inside as well, making it worth the pickup. This is exactly why I held off getting it the first time around, knowing full well another edition would come out when the sequel hits.

Further Details:
Fox Home Entertainment has sent over highres artwork for the extended edition of Fantastic Four which stars Jessica Alba, Michael Chiklis, Chris Evans, and Ioan Gruffud. The disc includes nearly 20 minutes of never-before-seen footage seamlessly branched back into the film - presented in widescreen along with English Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 Surround tracks. Extras on the two-disc set will include a cast commentary with Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba and Michael Chiklis, a second commentary with the directors, writers, and producers, 19 extended/deleted scenes, two alternate main title sequences, a Silver Surfer featurette, a Heroes Are Born: Making Of Fantastic Four documentary, The Baxter Building: Declassified featurette, and The World’s Greatest Comic Magazine featurette.

Nice cover. Should be a great set.

Both versions of the film + free ticket to the second film = sold.

Glad I held off on this film originally when it came out.

I haven't seen anyone confirm yet that it has a movie ticket.

On DAVISDVD.com i just read that it says it has a ticket worth $8.50 included w/ the new release.

Nice-looking set. Probably my favorite of the second-tier comic book movies. Well, maybe second favorite. I love me some Hellboy.

cheers,

The "free" tickets that are only worth $8.50 suck us major-market movie-goers.
Prices can range from $10.50 (for regular seats) - $15 (for reserved seating) in LA.

$8.50 barely covers a matinee.

Damn, thats some expensive prices. I would definitely just wait for DVD on most movies if that was the price around here. Glad its only $6.50 here to $9.50 at night. I love it in AZ where my mom is, its only $5 for matinee then its $7.50 for late night shows. I wish i had those prices around my area.

I'm pretty sure that the theater I always go to is $8.50 exactly for evening shows, so I should be in luck unless they raise the prices over the summer.

I never really pay attention to the ticket price anymore... I just ask for two tickets and fork over a $20 (obviously my fiancee never pays).

This is still including both cuts of the movie, right?

The back cover says it contains both cuts.

If I pick this one up on Tuesday, there is pretty much no reason to keep the previous version right? I recall that I had to keep the original version of Mr and Mrs Smith because the new one had a different audio commentary from the director.

I believe you lose the video diary of them going around promoting the film, which had plenty of Alba, but not a big loss over all.

uhh..am i missing something. why does that ad say the film is coming out on June 29th?? Every other site I've been to say it's being released June 15th. Probably a mistake, esp considering it would be up against Die Hard 4 that weekend

Will the free movie ticket also be included if you buy the dvd online or is it just for B&M only?

any help appreciated.

Glad I held off buying first time around.

Sounds great, I liked the first, so I won't feel too bad about double dipping on this, especially with the ticket. (2nd DD of the week for me with Hellboy DC deal from Kmart). I might as well pick up Spidey 2.1 and be done with it.

Anybody? I've never bought a dvd with movie tix included.

It's probably a crap-shoot at best. Usually you have to find the one with the sticker that says it has a movie ticket. If you really want the movie ticket, I'd forgo online and get it in person.

I got my copy of FF at a local store and it came with a ticket for fantastic four 2.
