- Remember how we brought up the possibility of Affleck hosting Saturday Night Live sometime this year? Sources now tellus that he has indeed signed on to do just that…Perhaps he’ll get on board around November 12th for an extra Dogma push?
Oh, and speaking of Affleck, he’s scheduled as the big interview for next month’s issue of Playboy Magazine. Oh gosh, shucks, darn, guess we’ll just HAVE to go out and buy that now. Twist my arm.
- We hear that Entertainment Tonight will run a piece on the Dogma premiere tonight, so get those remotes ready.
- An interesting post gathered from the Kevin Smith newsgroup allegedly from someone “in the know†states that Alliancemay have actually had rights to distribute those Amy DVDs with the extras intact, after all. No idea if this guy knows what he’s talking about, but we thought we’d run it just out of interest, not that it does any good since Alliance hasagreed to release concurrently with the U.S. version of the flick now:
You might be a little misinformed there. Alliance Atlantis already “ownsâ€the supplemental material for both titles, since the company distributedthe special-edition laserdiscs of “From Dusk Till Dawn†and “Chasing Amyâ€in Canada.
As I’ve been led to understand, their license of the supplements on thosediscs in Canada are absolute, and would allow Alliance Atlantis’ DVDproducers to lift the desired material from existing street product if theyso desire; it wouldn’t be legally necessary to contact the contentproducers, though it’d probably be bad form not to.
In the past, Alliance Atlantis has repeatedly gone the extra mile toproduce exclusive special-edition DVDs for the Canadian market. It’s hardlytheir fault that this is no longer an option.
