Warner has finally announced Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain for release on 5/15. There will be dual full frame and anamorphic widescreen DVD versions (SRP $27.95 each), as well as Blu-ray Disc ($34.99) and HD-DVD/DVD Combo versions ($39.99). Extras are expected to include the 6-part Inside The Fountain: Death and Rebirth documentary and more.

I'm amazed they're even offering a full frame version.  The sort of people (us) who will buy this DVD are not the sort of people who buy pan-and-scan.

if it has the right cover (with a giant fucking Jackman and Weisz face), a lot of people will rent it with no idea what it is and they will want full screen.

IT IS WORSE THAN WE ALL COULD HAVE IMAGINED...

[JG]

that is the worst thing of all time

EDIT:  (so far).

[The Red Vine]

surprise, surprise. but who was honestly expecting anything better than terrible? however, it's not the worst thing I could have imagined.

I think "Peter Pan" and "Jersey Girl" still hold the records for worst DVD cover.

[Gamblour.]

NO! Holy christ. That is the worst DVD cover I have ever seen.

so i was very dissapointed cause i couldnt see this in theatres and the dvd comes in two more months.... however lucky me im in mexico and i was able to catch the movie tonight... now im more dissapointed 

[modage]

FUCK YES.

dvd... i saw that terrible art and i worked hard to get it changed. the studio wouldn't hire dan and jeremy, my vfx team, to do it but i got them to use the art from the international campaign which is pretty nice.

it's a very stripped down dvd and i do hope at some point to make a definitive collector's edition but that will be in a few years.

love you, darren.

[pzyktzle]

far far better.

they showed this in brisbane cinemas for less than a month. not a single ad for it. it was gone before i even knew it was here. being in australia, the majority of movies i get excited about sometimes take months to arrive in our cinemas by which time i'm focused on the next batch of new and wonderful things coming out from around the world, and mainly the u.s.

Aronofsky is really everything a good director should be. Great fight for a great DVD Cover.
