'Clearing'; 'Before Sunrise' & 'Home at the End of the World'; 'Spider-Man 2'

Into the Woods - 12:08pm

The latest from Robert Redford, the dramatic thriller The Clearing, didn't make much of a dent at the box office this past summer (in fact, few knew it even came out), but you can get a second chance to discover the film on November 9th, when Fox Home Entertainment gives the flick the special edition treatment. Co-starring Willem Dafoe and directed by Peter Jan Brugge, the pic will come with a 1.85 anamorphic widescreen transfer, Dolby Digital 5.1 surround track, audio commentary with Brugge, writer Justin Haythe and editor Kevin Tent, the "Inside Look" featurette, six deleted scenes with optional commentary, the complete screenplay (as a series of text screens) and theatrical trailers. Retail will list for $27.95.

After Sunrise - 12:08pm

Another small film largely overlooked in limited release this summer was Richard Linklater's romantic sequel Before Sunrise, which saw young lovers Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy reunite ten years after a vacation fling. Warner Home Video will release the DVD on November 9th, featuring a 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer, Dolby Digital 5.1 surround track, audio commentary (participants TBA), a featurette and the theatrical trailer. Retail will be $27.95.

More art house fun making its DVD debut on November 2nd is the Colin Farrell starrer A Home at the End of the World. This one will also get the 2.40:1 anamorphic widescreen and Dolby Digital 5.1 surround treatment, but there are no announced extras. Expect a list price of $27.95.

Webslinger - 12:09pm

And just in case you missed the late Friday announcement, that's right, Spidey's back! It only just dropped out of the box office top ten this past weekend, but Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment has wasted no time in announcing a November 30th release for the blockbuster sequel Spider-Man 2. Loaded with over 10 hours of bonus features (too many to list here!), just check out the full press release (www.dvdfile.com/news/web_wire/press_release/index.html) for all the details.
