Panic Room

Columbia TriStar has been working on a new 3-disc Panic Room: Special Edition with the assistance of director David Fincher. We expect it to be officially announced in the next few weeks for release in early in the year (we're hearing March or April). The set is expected to include the film on Disc One in anamorphic widescreen (with audio in Dolby Digital 5.1), audio commentary with Jodie Foster, Dwight Yoakam and Forest Whitaker, and a second audio commentary with Fincher. Disc Two will feature an in-depth look at the pre-production and shooting of the film, including in-depth documentaries and multi-angle features. Finally, Disc Three will look at the post-production process, including editing, visual effects, sound design and more.

The disc was produced by David Prior, who hand-crafted Fox's awesome special edition of Fincher's Fight Club.

We're still waiting on confirmation of the technical specs, but we can tell you that the disc will include an audio commentary with Jodie Foster, Forest Whitaker and Dwight Yoakam as well as an audio commentary with director David Fincher. Other extra material will include sequence breakdowns, visual effects featurettes and much more. We hope to have full disc specs and artwork later today, so stay tuned for that!

A little plain?? It's practically moves into negative plain territory. At least the DVD is gonna be stacked.

This film wasn't that big of a hit to warrant a 3 disc set, was it?

Made almost triple of what "Fight Club" did.

This film wasn't that big of a hit to warrant a 3 disc set, was it?

Made almost triple of what "Fight Club" did.

but wasn't that due mainly to the momentum that Fight Club and its controversy created and not critical success?

I only saw Panic Room once, in the theater, but I remember feeling it was just ok. Maybe I should revisit it and see if my opinion is still the same.
