The Ultimate Evil Dead edition

Yes, finally some new BC news. Dvdactive reports that another Evil Dead DVD is on the way. This is a 3-disc set, though, seems to be the Evil Dead: Book of the Dead Edition disc, together with the 4th disc of the UK Evil Dead trilogy box set (which was the full frame version, btw also released with the Box of the Banned set) and an extra disc.

here are the full details:

Anchor Bay Entertainment has officially announced a 3-Disc Ultimate Edition of The Evil Dead which stars Bruce Campbell. This classic Sam Raimi directed film will be available to own from the 18th December, and should retail at around $34.97. Both anamorphic widescreen and full screen presentations will be included on seperate discs. The widescreen edition will include a commentary by Director Sam Raimi and Producer Robert Tapert, whereas the full screen version will include a Bruce Campbell commentary.

Other features include a One by One We Will Take You: The Untold Saga of The Evil Dead documentary, some new Treasures from the Cutting Room Floor, a Life After Death: The Ladies of The Evil Dead featurette, a Ladies of The Evil Dead Meet Bruce Campbell featurette, and an Unconventional featurette with the cast and crew. Completing the package will be a Q&A with a drive-in audience of hardcore fans, a Reunion Panel, a Discovering The Evil Dead featurette that looks at the British video release of the film, makeup tests, a Poster & Memorabilia Gallery, a still gallery, and the trailer.


personally, I don't think I can live with another double dip.

You're totally wrong about the extras by the way - with the exception of the commentaries and trailers, they're ALL NEW.

nope, trust me. My dvds include the "Discovering Evil Dead" featurette, Treasures from the Cutting Room Floor and Make-up tests are probably a recut of Scene Outtakes (which are actually outtakes and make-up tests, and not that interresting). and it's missing
*Sam Raimi Interview (from "The Incredibly Strange Film Show")
*"The Living Love The Dead" featurette
*"Dead Good Marketing" featurette
*"Bruce Campbell: Geek or God?" featurette
[*The Evil Dead-inspired Music Video:
- Stravinsky Gave Me Nightmares "Antihero" -this is crap though]
Not to mention BCs great "Fanalysis" documentary. not to mentions that usually they just rename and recut some stuff.

I mean don't get me wrong it's still a great set, but I don't think it'll be worth a double dip. I've seen it so many times when the make an 'Ultimate-superduper-mega-definitive' edition with a few more cheap extra's. not to mention that there will probably be a 'Boomstick-Ultimate-superduper-mega-definitive' on the way followed by many others. and where is the a new trilogy box we were promised or the Cabin-diarama-set?

god what a rant..

well, if you haven't got it yet. this would be the one. but if you do, you might not want to double dip. I have the Book of the dead edition and the one from "box of the Banned' and they are both completely different. Also this version seems the mis 'Fanalise' which is very cool and the package is not the uber cool Book of the dead thingy. you might want to have a look here: http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=949#overall
