  • DVD File has posted the interview that we mentioned was coming last week. Again, they’ve done an amazingly thorough job with this one, with a wonderfully detailed intro and tons of great Q&A. It’s quite lengthy, so we won’t be reprinting the entire piece here. Surf over to their site and take a look. It’s well worth the read. Here’s a preview:
Like Columbia/TriStar, first they said, “We’re putting out two editions. We’re going to put out the standard edition and then the special edition” and I was like, “No, let’s just wait and put out the special edition.” But we’d be waiting for a while cause we’re not done with it. But they wanted to have a DVD out when the VHS came out and their rationale, which I eventually saw the wisdom in was, “Look, not everyone is going to want to buy the special edition. Some people just want the movie and you may be willing shell out another $20 for all the extras but some people are on a budget and would must rather just have the flick for a cheaper price.” So I went, “Yeah, yeah, I can definitely get my head around that cause it least those guys are going the distance and doing the special edition DVD.”

Like at this point, they’re talking about, there’s so much stuff for the DOGMA DVD, the October one, that we have to have a two-DVD set along the lines of the ARMAGEDDON Criterion DVD. Cause there’s so much stuff that we want to pack on there and so far they seem to be digging that. They’re like, “Yeah, yeah, let’s do it” and J.M.’s working on that and Mike Stradford at Columbia/TriStar really ponying up and letting us do it right. But there’s some places that just don’t seem interested. Some studios are just like, “No, just put something out there and pop a trailer on and that’s what we’ll call the extras.” That’s not really utilizing the format that well.
