French S2 DVD release will include 4 bonus features!
I just read on the
Malcolm France site, that the upcoming French S2 DVD release will include no fewer than 4 bonus features!
They are:
- Tour of the house (2'08'')
- Original promo clip for the series (0'21'')
- Interview with series creator Linwood Boomer (11'45'')
- Making-of (13'04'')
If I understand the French text correctly, these were all part of the original promotional package released by Fox at the time, except for the interview with Linwood Boomer, which was conducted some time ago by French TV reporter Alain Carrazé, who with his colleague Romain Nigita were also instrumental in obtaining permission for releasing the other features.
All will be presented in the original English, with French dubbing, and optional French 'ordinary' subtitles and ones for the hearing-impaired.
The producers are really going out of their way to make this something memorable, and more than just a string of episodes!
Similar effort will be devoted to obtaining extras for subsequent seasons. In fact, Showshank Films welcome suggestions from fans for including features.
Now, the only quibble I have is why we have had to do without all this great stuff on the English-language releases!
Life is unfair - yes, no, maybe - in a way! :s
