date for the special edition DVD of the movie, and incidentally, that date is also August 29, Judgment Day! If you think this is too much of a coincidence, you are absolutely correct, this was calculated. “We actually wanted to do this disc years ago and have it release on August 29th, 1997, but DVD wasn't advanced enough yet,” producer Van Ling tells me candidly with a laugh.
The release will hit retail shelves under the title “Terminator 2: Judgment Day - The Ultimate Edition DVD.” Artisan is preparing to announce the release very soon and has created a full page advertising that will run in an upcoming issue of “Video Business” magazine that you can see below. |

With a limited print run, this will be a limited edition of the title, coming in an exclusive packaging. Since DVD-18 production capacities are very limited - currently only WAMO is able of replicating DVD-18 discs - Artisan decided to release the DVD in two stages. The first one will hit retail stores on the important August 29 in an edition that is limited in numbers, and then a second, unlimited wave that will be released in October, featuring a different packaging and cover artwork for the release. Currently Artisan is still playing with various ideas for the packaging and no design has been finalized yet. In terms of content, both releases will be identical however. As soon as we are informed about the number of copies included in the limited edition, or the finalized packaging design, we will of course update you accordingly as part of this diary. |
