Universal has just announced a number of new titles for release in August, and also added information on the upcoming Collector’s Edition of The Mummy.

On August 17 we will see EdTV, Grace Of My Heart and a DTS version of Virus. All three will contain a 16×9 enhanced versions, and apart from the obligatory trailers and production notes, “EdTV” will come with a commentary track by director Ron Howard and writers Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel, “Caught in the Camera’s Eye”, an original featurette on the making of the film, deleted scenes and outtakes. “Grace Of My Heart” will also come with a commentary track.
