28 Weeks Later -> Oct 9th, 2007
 
The sequel to Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, is scheduled to be released on October 9th, according to DVDActive.


The film itself will be presented in anamorphic widescreen, along with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround track. DVD Extras will include an audio commentary by director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo and Co-Writer Enrique Lopez Lavigne, a Code Red: Making Of 28 Weeks Later Behind-The-Scenes featurette, an Infected Make-Up Effects featurette, a Getting Into The Action featurette, and a 28 Days Later: The Aftermath Flash-Animated Graphic Novel. Completing the package will be deleted scenes with optional commentary, and the theatrical trailers.
The extras look about average. I missed this in the theaters, so I will definitely be picking this up. I really hope they revise the cover art though. The side-profile view of the guy in the Haz-Mat suit and mask used in the poster for the film would be much better and make it look less "direct-to-video".

and there's a HiDef (Blu-Ray) version also streeting as well - can't wait!

^ Says who? Fox hasn't released anything on Blu-ray in months.

Giles 07-10-07 12:42 PM

according to rumour here's the proposed BR release and it's not street date to the standard DVD. Any news from Fox is purely speculative.

I totally agree. The box art they chose is pretty lame. That poster you talk of is freaking awesome.


By the way, this movie was great!

I enjoyed the first film, but LOVED this one. I can't wait to add it to my collection!

Seantn 07-10-07 07:04 PM

I liked this one just as much as part 1, but for different reasons. Once the shit hits the fan in this movie, it doesn't let up until the end credits.

Yeah. I'd like to get the poster too.

Giles 07-11-07 08:36 AM

I dig that poster, very 'Dawn of the Dead-ish'.

Does anyone know if this DVD will have a slipcover like the original? It would be very nice if they both matched, and look better in everyone's collection.

TylerDurden_73 10-06-07 12:42 PM

The original didn't have a slipcover. The re-releases on dvd were issued with a slipcover.

I loved the first one - but ended up hating its sequel. It starts off well, but then becomes ridiculously absurd.

Dr Mabuse 10-06-07 02:36 PM

yeah i saw it in theatres...

i liked it...

i'll be getting this one...

Ethan VanSciver 10-06-07 04:21 PM

My favorite movie of 2007! I loved it so much that I even rented it twice when it became available in hotel rooms, showing it to other zombie fans!

It really is a superb, terrifying movie. I cant wait till Tuesday!

no it will not!! i hate fox for it!! wrong turn gets a slipsleeve and this one doesn`t, i mean come on fox, who makes decisions like that in your company!?

Seantn 10-07-07 01:28 PM

They might not realize that a slipcover means so much to some people... Hell, I didn't realize it either.

Darth Maher 10-07-07 04:09 PM

Has anyone heard about any deals for the 28 Days/Weeks 2-pack?

Used to love the slip cover. Thought it dressed up nicely those select few DVDs that got it. These days, just about any new release is given one, while the insert has been ruled unnecessary for most of them. Wish now the insert had been maintained and the slip cover never even conceived.

My first thought was "The Crazies". I was a big fan of the first film but I missed this one in the theaters. From the buzz just on this board I'm guessing it probably deserves a blind buy.

GoldenJCJ 10-07-07 08:43 PM

I'm tempted to buy this this week but for some reason this movie just seems to scream $6.99 in a month or 2 to me. I may hold off for a bit.

Loved the 1st one & the 2nd one... Maybe I even like the 2nd one better...

I suppose you could say the same for the first one too.

Yeah, if THE CRAZIES is in your vocab this is a must buy.

Living Dead 10-08-07 12:05 AM

Seems like a good blind buy to me.

Sabrett 10-08-07 04:32 AM

I'll be picking this up. I'll have to pick up the first one, too...saw the first, but this one is a blind buy.

And you can count me in as another one that's pissed that there's no slip cover. Dumb Fox will probably do what they did with the first one, and put one on it in the future.
