having just purchased The Shank "dolby surround" for £7 in HMV.. i was wondering whether they'll be a special edition with all the bells and whistles..
there surely must be plans for more extras on a future re-release, perhaps a director's commentary.. and there must be deleted scenes or alternative takes?


it's not the greatest film in the world, but i like it (and that's reason enough for my purchase decision today - oh, that and the cheap price helped!). I know a lot of people dont find it that great a movie, but i find the story particularly uplifting.

so, does anyone have any details or has anyone heard any rumours about an up-and-coming disc?

well as long as this version of the dvd is selling so well, why should the manufacturers bring out a new one?

once sales for this slow down or stop, I am sure they will bring one out.

It was selling like mad on Play247 before the sale prices in the high-street shops!

good point which i'd not considered. but surely not every S.E comes out because the original disc stops selling? or is that just insanely naive on my behalf? :nuts: i was kinda hoping that someone gives the disc a reworking just for their love of the movie.. :eek:

Isn't that reason enough for them to do an SE ..... because the film is so popular ??
Think how many they'd sell if there was a Special Edition ?
