In the June 23, 2000 issue of Entertainment Weekly there is an article about special edition DVDs by SCOTT BROWN entitled, “Isn’t That Special.” The article discusses directors who favor the extra treatment their films can get on DVD as well as some of the extras the discs include. In addition to the mention of the “Cliffhanger” special edition DVD which is now available, the article also quotes RENNY HARLIN about what we can look forward to on the “Champs” DVD! RENNY is “already planning custom photography for the DVD release of his next movie, the SYLVESTER STALLONE car-racing actioner tentatively titled “Champs” – though shooting hasn’t yet begun.” “The audience will be able to choose whether they want to watch the actor driving or look at what the actor is seeing through the windshield,” says HARLIN, who adds that he adores DVD and the creative flexibility it affords him. “I’d say I have about 100 percent creative control (over my special editions)… I’ll take the blame and I’ll take the glory.”
This absolutely is good news!
