New Moon DVD to Be Released on March 20
New Moon mania is about to start up again.
Granted, it might not be as wild this time around, but a release date has been announced for the Twilight sequel on DVD: it will hit stores on March 20.
In a statement, Summit Entertainment explains the unusual move of releasing a new DVD on a Saturday:
“The Twilight Saga: New Moon will be released on a Two-Disc Special Edition DVD and Special Edition Blu-ray on March 20, 2010 - a Saturday street date that will allow for fans across the nation to celebrate at retailer’s midnight release parties before taking home the film at 12:01 a.m.”
Director Chris Weitz, meanwhile, says the DVD will have “about ten minutes of groovy stuff [fans] haven’t seen.”
Don’t worry, Chris. As long as it has Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner shirtless, this thing will sell well.
