Walmart DVD To Have Eclipse Footage

Posted by Twilight_News - 10/02/10 at 11:02 am
This press release just in from Walmart. That odd vibration you feel is the screaming of a million Twilighters. (I am one of them!)

<span class=

Ultimate fans of Twilight have a reason to howl with excitement: a sneak peek at The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Walmart announced today it will be the only retailer to carry The Twilight Saga: New Moon Ultimate Fan Edition on standard DVD, and Blu-ray, with never-before-seen footage from the upcoming The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Walmart also will feature “Twilight Saga Shops” in stores – a dedicated shopping experience for Twilight fans to bite into a variety of Twilight­-themed clothing, jewelry, and merchandise, including new items to show their wolf- or vampire-fan pride.
Fans can pre-order The Twilight Saga: New Moon Ultimate Fan Edition on DVD or Blu-ray, as well as the national two-disc Special Edition DVD or Special Edition Blu-ray, today at Walmart.com.

With the new movie and 50 minutes of extra footage and interviews, The Twilight Saga: New Moon Ultimate Fan Edition also contains an exclusive, 7-minute sneak peek of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. It begins with an exciting behind-the-scenes look at the production of the newest film.

New interviews with stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, as well as with series-creator Stephenie Meyer, are integrated with revealing on-the-set footage of some of the key scenes and sets from the upcoming movie.
This first-look at The Twilight Saga: Eclipse concludes with the world premiere of an actual scene from the upcoming film. YEAH!!!

With the movie release scheduled for March 20, 12:01 am, fans can be among the first to own the DVD, joining friends nationwide at midnight release events in more than 2,600 24-hour Walmart stores. The midnight release last year of the first Twilight movie brought hundreds of thousands of fans together online and in stores, becoming the most pre-ordered movie and most successful DVD movie release event in Walmart history.
Walmart’s Twilight Saga Shops, designed for both the “fan-pire” and “wolf-lover,” will open in stores mid-March and will feature a variety of items themed around the Twilight series and favorite movie characters.

Among the items in Walmart Twilight Saga Shop are:

I have to admit, I've been losing sleep over which NM DVD to pre-order ever since last years Twilight debacle in which I missed out on Target's 3 discer. (Grrr) It's still
early (51 days away!) so, let's try to break this whole DVD cluster F%#k down so as to make the most TW-educated decision possible on which version of the New Moon DVD to pre-order, shall we?


Standard 2 discer
Special Edition includes
(cheapest on Amazon.com ,$20.49):

....Audio commentary track with director Chris Weitz and editor Peter Lambert (Boo, no cast members); a 6-part behind-the-scenes documentary; band-rehearsal footage with Muse; music videos from Death Cab for Cutie, Anya Marina, and Mute Math.


Differences between other versions:
Borders($29.99)-


Exclusive packaging that
compliments our existing Borders Exclusive Twilight packaging. Exclusive medallion necklace, gold side with wolf-pack tattoo, silver side is the Cullen crest on a silver chain. Includes previously unreleased EXTENDED SCENES; INTERVIEWS with cast members Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, The Cullen Family, The Wolf Pack, The Volturi and Director Chris Weitz; unrivaled RED CARPET FOOTAGE from the movie premiere; front row seats to The Twilight Saga: New Moon WEBCAST.


Barnes & Noble -

Standard 2 discer Special Edition with Dreamcatcher Bag Clip, a metal dangle finished in antique brass that combines a circular dreamcatcher, a sculptural Wolf Pack-tattoo charm, a Wolf Pack jewelry tag, feathers, and crystals.


Target
($26.99)-
Standard 2 Discer special edition plus a third disc of never before seen content and a bonus collectible film cell. Sounds TW-amazing if they would tell us what's on that damn 3rd disc! Their website states to "check back for further details" regarding the illusive trifecta. (Quick note: if you go with Target, the films cells they're offering are limited quantity, so make sure you ask when you pick up your pre-orders at the store.)

Walmart Fab Edition -
Exclusive Eclipse 7 min. world premiere. The 1st teaser for NM was only 1:47 mins. Imagine what they can do with 7 whole mins!



Although
Walmart basically had me at Eclipse, I'm not betting on them till their site is updated (pre-order for Fan Edition available tomorrow) and Target let's the wolf out of the bag about that 3rd disc. And then there's the issue that Borders is the only retailer officially stating it contains the "extended scenes" Chris Weitz promised us. Now, I'm not sure if they will be included in the Standard Special Edition 2 discer and it's just not stated, but that may be a deal breaker for me. Extended scenes are vital!
