We caught up with Frank Spotnitz earlier in the week and got to talk to him about X-Files 2. As part of this he spilled the beans on what we can expect for the DVD release of X Files I want to Believe on DVD. When asked about the Blu-Ray and what we could expect Frank told us;
I had no idea what Blu-Ray could do. I thought it was just a higher definition picture, but it’s much more than that. We are trying to think of every possible way to exploit the Blu-Ray medium. Those discussions are still continuing. We’ve been working on the Blu-Ray and the DVD release for months already.
It’s going to be packed with a lot of bonus features. I’m sure they’ll want to announce what is on them specifically, but there will be a gag reel, a making of, as there always are, multiple commentaries, both audio and video that you can access in a unique way because it’s Blu-Ray. We are going to take advantage of the online feature in a way we haven’t determined yet. There are deleted scenes. There is an extended version of the movie, then there are deleted scenes. I’m going to get it wrong if I try to tell you which scenes are going into which. There will be a lot of extras.
As for how much longer the extended cut DVD will be..
It’s not significantly longer. It’s only a few minutes longer, but it’s more explicit, and a little more emotional, believe it or not.
Be sure to checkout X-Files 2 when it hits theatres July 25th!
