What We Do In The Shadows 07/01/15

[jacobsever]

Wanting to import the 3 disc edition to the States. Does anybody know what the packaging is going to be for this? Just a slipcover?

[Davidian]

Yep looks that way.

[Sky_Captain]

Horrendous UK artwork, but it does point to the same extras and everything on the one disc, as opposed to a bloody DVD.



*edit* And after I post that, JB send me a dispatch email lol

[rallymonkey]

I believe a US release is scheduled for May.

[LordCrumb]

UK cover doesn't look that bad really.

Review (Fang-Bloody-Tastic Collector's Edition):

PICTURE & SOUND
Because of its low-fi production values, ‘What We Do In The Shadows’ was never going to blow anyone away in high definition, but Madman’s Blu-ray release isn’t anything to be shirked at. The 1080p 1.85:1 transfer maintains the best detail it can from the documentary-style footage, so we still get some excellent detail and vibrant colour without compromising the visual integrity of the film. The same can be said of the DTS-HD MA 5.1, though this is still surprisingly active and exciting. While the focus is on the dialogue, maintaining the documentary illusion, there’s still a lot going on from the support sounds, making it as detailed as the visuals.

SPECIAL FEATURES
Madman’s original Blu-ray release had no special features, but this was due to difficulty getting the extra material in time for release. They have more than made up for it with this terrific Fang-bloody-tastic Collector’s Edition. The original disc is still here, but now with a DVD of the film and an extra DVD disc for the special features. Over two hours of content is available, the vast majority consisting of deleted footage from the film. In fact, only one short featurette discusses the making of the film at all. The deleted footage consists of new and extended sequences, extended interviews with all the characters and shorter featurettes that expand on the lives of the characters. It’s all absolute gold and essential viewing for fans of the film. There’s also the original short film that cemented the concept featuring much of the same cast and the basic narrative points that ended up in the full-length film. This is a fabulous package for a fabulous film.

Wow, how dumb is that? I guess I'll just have to swap my discs out to my autographed cover.

Tell me is the slick the same image as the slip?

[Sky_Captain]

Nope. They've put f*** all effort into this. All the discs have the same artwork.

[Davidian]

Thank you very much for the photos, it makes the transition to the original cover so much easier.

[Sky_Captain]

The film's brilliant, mind.

[Davidian]

According to Sky Captain the UK version's extras are in HD.

Question, how long are the extras on the Australian bonus DVDs? (min/sec)

[80sfanboy]

I just got this the other day. I am thinking about returning to JB and getting the UK release or wait for US. I paid $35 too! Luckily it is sealed still

Can anyone check? So we can compare the running times of the Australian Bonus DVD with the UK Blu-ray.

The running times of each special feature of the UK Blu-ray have been posted in the UK thread:
