Thanks OP, got mine at Borders tonight, seems like a great set for a movie that (I loved) did not do well financially and with many audience members. Not sure if its a Borders exclusive, the booklet is really just a couple page insert, nice to have, though.

Picked up the two-disk at Fred Meyers tonight. Had the booklet inside like an insert. Cover art isn't bad, but would've been better without the damn grey border and giant Hammond blurb.

There was some speculation of a Best Buy exclusive (and a listing on their website for a while) but I no longer see such a listing for this at BestBuy.com. Does anyone know if Best Buy (or any other retailer) is still planning some sort of exclusive? If not, I'll be heading to Borders today...really enjoyed this film.

With a budget of $18 mil and a box office take of $41 mil, i think they did pretty well. Not blockbuster well but it wasnt a bomb. DVD sales will do well i hope. It was one of the best films last year.

I started to watch the B/w version last night and its interesting. It has that old monster movie feeling. I quite like it so far and recommend everyone check it out who loved the movie. See which you like better.

It's still on there. It might just be a lenticular or some sort of exclusive slipcover.

Saw some screen caps on DVD Beaver...looks like I will be getting this one.

I saw it at Borders, but the sticker denoting the insert only stated that it was limited, not exclusive - and nothing about it being Border's-only. Also, they wanted a whopping $33 for it - I think I'll wait a few days.

Can someone explain to me what the fascination is with getting movies before their official release date? Do people realize the stores are breaking the law doing this, whether or not they are doing it on purpose or not. In my opinion buyers should do the right thing and purchase the dvd when they are suppose to be available. Do places like Ebay allow sellers to sell dvds before their official release date?

It was on sale for $22 when I got it yesterday at Borders.

My Borders had already pulled them. Also their website has changed from 'available' to 'coming soon'.

Oh well, I can wait 6 days for it I suppose.

just stopped by Borders and they still had 2 available--$22.99 on sale

now i gotta decide if i watch The Mist or the copy of Southland Tales i got from CH today

I ordered the 2 disc from DD when the price was at $18.92, and got shipping notice today. Good find for me, but the price went up to $25 recently.

One of my favorite movies of last year, & maybe the biggest surprise. I really, really want this, but I want it on Blu-Ray, I hate to buy a SD version of this. Hopefully I can hold out.

I hope you're all happy. Apparently, the fines from the broken street date were so extensive, Borders has been forced to put itself up for sale today! ;)

LOL that was perfect timing.

I went to two Borders stores yesterday and didn't see The Mist. Either they were told to pull them or they were all sold out.

True. I'm actually watching the behind the scenes doc and they definitely shot on a low budget. The B&W version was really cool, I think I like it even more. So far the features are great too, all behind the scenes no EPK bullshit. So all in all, nice release Weinstein Co.

So, the question is... I've never seen the movie. Should I start with the B/W version, or go ahead and watch it in color first?

Thats a good question. I really dig the B/W version now but if i didnt see it, i would go with the color first then watch the B/W. Thats how the majority will see it and I think you get a different feeling after seeing it in color then B/W.

Just listened to the commentary and saw the extras this morning. Glad I picked it up early. This is a great DVD.

I OTOH recomend the b/w version, as its essentislly the 'Directors cut' of the film, and I've always been a big fan of the filmakers original vision. It's actually very good without color, and does a lot toward helping the CG work blend with the live action. Plus once you actually get into the story, you really don't even notice the lack of color.

And yes, definately some very solid extras here. Not a single Hollywood puff piece in sight. The Directors enthusiasm for the whole project is really infectious. You can tell from the commentary and the behind the scenes stuff that the man really had a great time shooting this one.

It also deserves props for the short feature on Drew Struzan. He painted most of the greatest movie posters of the past 20 years, but I'm embarassed to admit I've never known his name until now.

The extra on Drew Struzan was good. After watching it, i wish it was longer. He does some great work.

still no news on whats the bestbuy exclusive? come on...

DVD and book set

Can you handle twice the terror from this Stephen King combo?

When a mysterious mist descends, it unleashes a barrage of bloodthirsty creatures on a small town. Panic overshadows reason as a group of people fight for their lives while confined to a grocery store in The Mist.

Right now you can pick up the new 2-disc collector's edition DVD of this spine-chilling tale from master storyteller Stephen King for only $22.99. You'll receive numerous behind-the-scenes bonus features, plus a paperback copy of page-turner The Mist inside.


Which one will keep you up at night — the book or the movie?

hmmm isn't that the same book included in all copies like someone mentioned above or is it something else?

BB's copy comes with the novel and the dvd just has a 4 page insert.
