Revenge of the Fallen DVD/Blu-ray Imax Info

[nelson]

I spoke to Paramount today and here's the lowdown on the Imax TF2 release:

Walmart will have exclusive rights on selling the ROFT (w/ Imax) on DVD and Blu-ray.

[Bayhem]

Good to know, good to know...

Thanks.

Yes and yes.

[littleman794]

nice, thankyou for telling me this, now i know not to pre order it...

and also: will this imax version still have all the same special features (on disc 2) as all others?

Yes.

[DarknessDK]

No offence, but that's not really a positive thing IMO...

What about the people in Europe, where there are no Wal Marts? And does this also mean that the autographed versions are the "normal" versions without the IMAX scenes?

I think it would be a great bonus for those of us who buy the autographed versions to get the IMAX version...

I know it's not more than a few scenes, but still...

[CesarCardoso]

will the Signed DVDs for the "Make a wish foundation" also contain the Imax extended sceens?

[space2001]

Will the imax scenes switch to the Different aspect ratios?

[Dave_6]

Will the imax scenes switch to the Different aspect ratios?

This I want to know!

[nelson]

IIRC, Bay said ROTF would have the shifting aspect ratio.

CH: Rumor has it the IMAX version has more footage than the regular version. Is that true?

MB: Actually, the IMAX version, with film time if you want to talk, is 2 hours and 20 minutes exactly. It has, I think, probably about a minute more of footage. It's got some more fighting footage that took place in the forest, some additional stuff with Devastator. I haven't [even] seen it in IMAX [myself yet]. I'm excited to see that. It wasn't ready until this weekend.

CH: Any plans yet for the DVD and Blu-ray?

MB: This one will be done by Ridley Scott's DVD guy, who's great, so we're going to have a lot of stuff on this.

CH: How do you go about incorporating the IMAX footage into those?

MB: We're going to do a special IMAX skew where it'll open up for those scenes. You can see top to bottom.

Cool, keeping my fingers crossed that the Blu-ray will have them!

[Dynasty]

Good to know, good to know...

Thanks.

Same thought, so I stole it!

As much as I hate shopping at Wal-mart, I may crack this time, unless elsewhere has a significantly better deal...

[jamjam101]

omg. I cant believe paramount is doing that... so that means BestBuy or FutureShop - the sister company wont have the IMAX scenes on their copies of Blurays???
If thats the case, then I'm gona have 3 copies lol..steelbook, autographed and IMAXED lool

[jamjam101]

Its not a porblem for me to buy from Wal-mart, just that for some reason i feel like I'm not getting the same product.
Ironically tho, my TF1 on HD-DVD was the very frist high-def movie i'd ever gotten - FROM WAL-MART, and to date I still pop it in sometimes to watch on my computer LOLL

[littleman794]

Man I am so hyped for this!!! It will be my first hd movie

Can't wait!!

[RiseDarthVader]

Nelson does that mean everyone overseas misses out?

[Mech_1000]

This is pretty lame... I ordered a best buy card for this movie that I cant use... Maybe I can find someone who will buy my best buy gift card

There are a few Wal Marts in Mexico, you think it'll be on sale in this forgotten country?
Also, the 2 disc ED will also get to Mexico?

[Spanbauer]

Thank you so much for clearing the air on this, Nelson. That's great to hear that a version of the Blu-Ray with IMAX scenes will at least be available for purchase, although it's a shame that Walmart had to be the place to get the exclusive version.

[taybrian1]

If Walmart doesn't have the Bumblebee box, I'm not getting it. It has to match the first one.

What about in countries where Walmart don't operate... Eg Australia?

Yeah I second that

[Cold As Ice0004]

Nelson thanks for clearing this up man!

Walmart has my money.

Let's be patient and wait till the IMAX edition DVD/Blu-ray will be released internationally. (There's no Walmart here in Japan either.)
