Heroes, Serenity and stuff

Alrighty www.dvdactive.com has provided us with a bunch of new news.

First off keeping with the theme of the earlier post, Heroes Season 1 is coming to dvd August 28.

Universal Home Video has sent over very early details on the first season of Heroes which stars Hayden Panettiere. This Tim Kring created series will be available to own from the 28th August, and should retail at around $59.98. The seven-disc package will include all 23 episodes - presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen, along with English Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks. Extras will include audio commentaries, the original un-aired pilot episode with optional commentary, deleted scenes, a making of featurette, a special effects featurette, and a stunts featurette. A HD DVD release will also be available for $99.98. This will include all of the above, along with additional material (PIP video commentaries, a Genetic Abilities test, and more). We've attached some sales artwork below - the retail artwork may differ slightly.

The specs for that Serenity dvd are now out and it's pretty much the Region 4 set.

And finnally my favorite movie of the year so far 300 is coming out in single and double disc sets July 31.

Warner has announced single ($28.98) and double-disc ($34.99) editions of 300 which stars Gerard Butler, David Wenham, and Dominic West. The film will be presented in 2.40:1 anamorphic widescreen, along with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround track. The only extra material on the single-disc wil be an audio commentary with director Zack Snyder, Writer Kurt Johnstad and Director of Photography Larry Fong. The two-disc collector's edition will include that, along with deleted scenes with a director's intro, a The 300- Fact or Fiction? featurette, a Who Were The Spartans: The Warriors of 300 featurette, a Frank Miller Tapes featurette, webisodes that go behind the scenes on the set of 300, and a photo gallery. HD DVD/DVD Combo and Blu-ray releases will be available seperately for $39.99 and $34.99 respectively
