MI:2 Special Edition DVD

[hei1spawn1]

Hell yes. I hope this is the extended version that finally clears up the 2,334,545 plot holes in the movie.


Paramount Home Entertainment has kindly sent over the official artwork for a brand new two-disc special edition of Mission Impossible 2 which stars the likes of Tom Cruise, Ving Rhames, Thandie Newton and Dougray Scott. This John Woo film, will be available to own from the 11th April, and should retail at around $19.99. I'm afraid Paramount has yet to reveal details on the extra material for this one - but we'll bring you further details very shortly. For now though, here's our first look at the official region one package artwork:

Where did you hear this, cause I hope you're not pulling my leg. The cover art also just looks like something someone did in photoshop. I really hope this is true though, really looking forward to a new SE of this one.

Follow-up: I was just on DVD active and they have all the info on it! Sorry if I didn't believe you at first, but judging at the artwork I would say it's just the old single disc one with a bonus disc. But maybe they might have done something to the original film, like add a DTS track (which I hope they do for the first one as well).

From imdb

"John Woo's final cut of the film clocked in at 3 1/2 hours. The studio balked at this length and told him that the final length could not exceed 120 min. This could explain why there are so many plot holes and continuity errors in the theatrical cut."

3 1/2 hours? That's very long.

id buy the 3 1/2 hour cut if they released it

The posters on the board at DVDactive are saying that this DVD is the old DVD packaged with a new bonus disc that just has stuff for M:I 3. That sounds unlikely but I'd wait to hear what the specs are to get excited -- the sticker on the cover DOESN'T SAY "all-new bonus features" or anything.

it may just be a sneak peak at mi3

When it says "2-disc set includes bonus disc" does that mean 2 discs and then a bonus disc, or just 2 discs all together?

Mission Impossible II

Since announcing Paramount's Mission Impossible II for release on April 11th, everyone's question has been "just what's new on this edition?" Well, since we've posted back cover art, here's what we can tell you: the set is identical to the DVD released in 2000, save for a bonus disc which will include the MI3 teaser trailer, The Big Game (read: Super Bowl) Launch TV spot and tribute montages "Excellence in Film" and "Generation: Cruise" -- both of which are also on the Mission Impossible: CE. So, in essence, the only thing you're getting on the bonus disc are a teaser trailer and a TV spot. Big whoop. Retail is $14.99.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Technically, you're only getting the TV spot -- the M:I III teaser trailer is also on the M:I CE.
