X-Men Special Edition

Fox will be busy in Region 4 this July, as the month will see the release of X-Men: Special Edition as well as the titles mentioned below. Following in the footsteps of its R1 and R2 equivalents, the Region 4 disc will be presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen with a Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack, and will feature the following extras:

• Fifteen minutes of deleted Scenes (Storm teaching class, Logan notices Jean & Scott, Extended bedroom scene, Bobby & Rogue in room, Jean & Xavier in her office, Ready room)


• Interview clips with Charlie Rose and Bryan Singer


• Two featurettes: The Mutant Watch and X-Men Featurette


• Promotion for the soundtrack album


• Hugh Jackman screen test


• Storyboard Animatics (Train Station Flight Animatic, Liberty Flight Head Animatic)


• Three TV Spots (Human Evolution, Next Evolution, One Hero)


• Two Easter Eggs


• Stills Gallery

The RRP for X-Men SE will be AUS$39.95 - about £14.50. As the R4 disc will use the PAL picture format, it looks like a cheaper alternative to the UK release. The release date is 4 July.
