Kevin’s given us a TON more information on the contents of the Bluray and DVD, so move on to the next story and see why you just gotta own this movie…

– 43 Deleted scenes (totaling 95 minutes)
– 22 Money Shots Webisodes (50 minutes)
– Feature-length documentary, Popcorn Porn: Watching Zack & Miri Make A Porno (75 minutes)
– Comic-con Panel 2008 (23 minutes)
– Gang-bang: Outtakes & Bloopers (13 minutes)
– Seth vs. Justin: Battle for Improvisational Supremacy (8 minutes)
– Blu-ray only: BD Live—which will gives us the option of having downloadable bonus features at some time in the future

Totaling 4 hours and 21 minutes of bonus

Full disclosure: The extra feature – Seth vs. Justin: Battle for Improvisational Supremacy (8 minutes) is only one of two parts. Due to Weinstein Co’s exclusive deal with Blockbuster, there’s a Blockbuster-Exclusive Extra Feature called “Seth vs. Justin: Battle for Improvisational Supremacy Pt. 2.” So if you’re a BlockBuster cat, there’s that. I have no control over these things.

Here’s some general comments from Kevin in response to WWWBoard queries on the disc.

On a single vs. double disc DVD: “I was informed it couldn’t be one disc and have all the material we wanted on it – at least according to the folks at Weinstein Co./Genius Home Video.”

On the extras: “There’s well over an hour of extra footage. The doc itself is an hour. I don’t know what the “Money Shots” combined are, but it’s a bunch. Then there’s the flick, the San Diego ComiCon Q&A, behind-the-scenes featurettes. This DVD has, essentially, all the elements that all of our DVDs have had, except a commentary track and intros.”

See Kevin’s post for more details on his feelings on the lack of a commentary track this time around.

Finally, in his post Kevin also shared the absolutely fantastic Hong Kong poster for the film, which he would have loved as the Bluray DVD’s cover (but would have gotten sued over it). Check this work of art out.

“Zack and Miri Make a Porno” hits DVD and Bluray on Tuesday, February 3rd.

• A bunch of deleted and extended scenes
• The full length documentary by Zak and Joey (last we heard, titled “Popcorn Porn”
• All of the “Money Shots” promo videos (uncensored, we assume with never before seen episodes that didn’t make the web)
• A blooper reel

The standard DVD set’s running 2 discs, so likely you’ll get the film on one, and the doc on the other. Of course, the Bluray will have everything on one easy place due to the massive storage capacity.

The one massive omission here is an audio commentary track, we believe the first time it’s missing on a View Askew DVD. Kevin states an interest in using SModcast to record such a track that will run along with the film, so watch for it. Lucky Bluray owners should also be able to embed future tracks released automatically into the disc.

We’ll cross our fingers for an early copy so we can hook ya up with all the other secrets and details on what’s sure to be another gem on your DVD shelves next month.

Jeff Raymond, Anthony McConnell, Chris DeLuca, Jason Wraight, and Adam Bunch! Congrats fellas.

“Netherbeast Incorporated” is now available online and in stores everywhere, so if you didn’t win one, now’s the time to place your orders or hit your local DVD retailer and pick up your own copy.

CineSpace is located at 6356 Hollywood Blvd. in Hollywood. Doors open at 6pm and the bash will run until roughly 7:30pm. Admission is free as long as you purchase a copy of the DVD on site; an RSVP to netherbeast@cox.net is welcome, but not mandatory. Though we were not given an official list of celebrity attendees, expect many of the film’s stars and some special guests — Mewes is actually off working on a new project at the moment, so getting him there will be tough, but you never know. Still, always great to support the guy and all he does.

We’d like to once again thank the producers and creators of the film for generously offering us up 5 free DVD copies of the film to give away to our readers. Those of you who entered the contest will be getting an e-mail TOMORROW as we announce our official winners, chosen by random drawing.

The Ronalds Brothers’ Netherbeast Incorporated is an offbeat comedy with a quirky twist on the vampire tale set in modern day corporate America. By the time you are reading this, copies of the flick are available for purchase across the web at all the major outlets, as well as in stores like Best Buy and Circuit City. Grab yourself one and add it to your collection.

For full details on Tuesday’s events, check out Shock Till You Drop. We hope some News Askew readers can make it in, remember all it takes is the purchase of a DVD to get you in the door and meet with the films stars and creators. Thanks again to Rolands Brothers Productions, and we’ll be back tomorrow with a list of lucky winners as well.

Meanwhile, check out a look at this DVD cover for “Porno” that was discovered on the Amazon.com servers. This likely means we’ll see a confirmed date and some real specs on the disc’s contents soon. The cover looks like a newly composed shot to feature the entire cast, and doesn’t match any of the previous poster artwork that we’ve seen. We like it, though.

The only item giving us pause is the news that the Bluray release of “Clerks 2” has been bumped up a week to February 3rd:

The Weinstein Company has officially announced the Blu-ray release of Kevin Smith’s ‘Clerks II’, which is due to hit store shelves on February 3rd. Originally scheduled for a February 10th release, this two disc set will feature all the extras from the previous HD DVD release. No technical specs have been announced at this time.

Typically, studios like to release similar titles on the same day, so if you’re going to the store to pick up one, you’ll get both — So PERHAPS “Porno” will also bump up a week. We’ll let ya know as soon as we know.

Also newly announced by Fox for BD release on 2/10 is Donnie Darko (SRP $34.99). This will be a 2-disc set (one Blu-ray and one DVD). Extras on the BD disc will include both the theatrical cut and the director’s cut, 3 audio commentary tracks (one with writer/director Richard Kelly and Jake Gyllenhaal on the theatrical cut, a second with the cast and crew on the theatrical cut, and a third with writer/director Richard Kelly and Kevin Smith on the director’s cut) and D-Box enhancement. The DVD disc will include more extras on SD format, including a Donnie Darko Production Diary with optional commentary by director of photography Steven Poster, 2 featurettes (They Made Me Do It Too: The Cult of Donnie Darko and #1 Fan: A Darkomentary), a storyboard-to-screen featurette and the director’s cut theatrical trailer. Cover art is available below.

Sounds like nothing new, but hopefully a beautiful looking and sounding Bluray worth adding to the collection. It’ll be nice to have both cuts on one disc, as many have spoken out preferring the more ambiguous theatrical version to the director’s cut.

If you’re in the Los Angeles area, why not attend the official release party? It’ll be at the familiar CineSpace (off Hollywood and Vine in Hollywood, CA) on January 6th, from 6:00 to 7:30 PM. Admission price is free, as long as you purchase the DVD there. Celebrities from Netherbeast will attend per professional availability (no word on Mewes at this point, we’ll let you know as we hear). If you plan to attend, you may want to drop an RSVP to netherbeast@cox.net and let them know your intentions so you can be sure you’ll get in the door.

Visit the official website for more on the film, or watch the original short film, “The Netherbeast of Berm-Tech Industries, Inc.”, of which the feature was adapted from at good ‘ol YouTube.

Here’s a press release for ya:

Shaun of the Dead fans rejoice! Finally another brilliant horror comedy to win over your undead hearts. The Ronalds Brothers NETHERBEAST INCORPORATED is an offbeat hilarious comedy with a quirky twist on the vampire tale set in modern day corporate America. Employees of Berm-Tech Industries, Inc. have kept the family secret for a long time. For years it has been business as usual, until the top vampire in charge (Darrell Hammond Saturday Night Live) contracts a dreaded disease, becomes senile forgetting that he s a vampire and starts killing off other vampire colleagues. A human efficiency expert (Judd Nelson Breakfast Club) and “Dead Mike’s” replacement (Amy Davidson TV s 8 Simple Rules) are invited to work at Berm-Tech but soon they discover that some of their associates (Dave Foley TV s Kids in the Hall, Newsradio, Jason Mewes Clerks 1 & 2, Zack and Miri Make a Porno and Steve Burns TV s Blue s Clues) are not what they appear to be.

Writer/director/actor Kevin Smith has sent a proposal to Criterion for a Blu-ray release of his film ‘Chasing Amy’. The filmmaker always had planned for a super 10-year anniversary release (much like the one completed for his earlier films ‘Clerks’ and ‘Mallrat’), but Criterion has stated they refuse to double-dip (history, however, may disagree with that statement). So now he is proposing a Blu-ray release with all the added material, meaning it wouldn’t technically be a double-dip of the DVD release.

This release would have all the bonus material from the original DVD release along with a host of extras not previously seen and (supposedly) exclusive to the Blu-ray release. Its yet to be seen if Criterion goes ahead with such plans, especially since the 10-year Anniversary of the film was last year.

Come on, Criterion! We wanna see this! And we WILL buy it! Take a look at View Askew’s track record on DVD, and it’s easy to see – home releases of these flicks are VERY profitable, and Chasing Amy is sure to be a best seller and a must-have for collector libraries.

Or, you can view our copy above, which we’re nabbing for the News Askew archives. And for the record, we believe Kev’s awesome new TV and Blu-ray player were a gift from PANASONIC, not Paramount.
