para los que les gusta esta serie ahora ya la podran tener en dvd:
Now the studio, New Line Home Entertainment, has distributed a press release that confirms these details, and which gives additional information about the release. We won't publish the entire text of the press release, but here are selected quotes, with highlights in bold:
LOS ANGELES, CA (June 21, 2004) - Check your reality at the door! On September 7, New Line Home Entertainment takes fans into a world of fantasy and suspense with The Twilight Zone, a deluxe, six-disc set that includes all 43 episodes of the hit UPN series. Hosted by actor Forest Whitaker (Phone Booth, Panic Room), The Twilight Zone is an edgy, fast-paced anthology series updated for modern audiences. The Twilight Zone DVD set is available at a $59.98 SRP...
A cast of today's brightest stars - including Jessica Simpson (MTV's Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica), Jaime Pressly (Torque, Not Another Teen Movie), Shannon Elizabeth (American Pie), Jason Bateman (TV's Arrested Development), Amber Tamblyn (TV's Joan of Arcadia), Usher (multi-platinum R&B artist), Jason Alexander (Seinfeld), Lou Diamond Phillips (La Bamba), Vivica A. Fox (Boat Trip), Dylan Walsh (TV's Nip/Tuck), Portia de Rossi (TV's Ally McBeal), Patrick Warburton (TV's The Tick), comedian Paul Rodriquez, Eriq La Salle (TV's ER) and many more - journey into a world where ordinary people exist in beyond-extraordinary situations.
The DVD set of the updated The Twilight Zone includes remakes of two popular classic episodes - "The Eye of the Beholder," with Molly Sims in the lead role of Janet Taylor (the original starred Donna Douglas of The Beverly Hillbillies fame) who anxiously awaits the outcome of an eleventh surgery to correct her abnormal face. When the bandages come off, she is revealed to be incredibly beautiful, but the doctor recoils in horror as the camera pulls back to reveal that he and others in the hospital room are deformed and misshapen. Then, paranoia strikes the residents of Maple Street when they believe human-looking aliens have invaded the neighborhood in "The Monsters on Maple Street," another remade episode starring Andrew McCarthy (the original, "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street," starred Claude Akins). Also of note is "It's Still a Good Life," a sequel to "It's a Good Life," which stars Bill Mummy and Cloris Leachman, cast members from the original The Twilight Zone episode about little Anthony Fremont, a boy who controls an entire town with his ability to read minds and make people do as he wishes.
The Twilight Zone DVD set is presented in widescreen (1.78:1), with audio selections including 5.1 Surround Sound (English), DTS Surround Sound, Stereo Surround Sound (English), English and Spanish subtitles and Closed Captions.
"TV-on-DVD has become wildly popular, and New Line Home Entertainment is thrilled to enter the category with the all-new The Twilight Zone," said Matt Lasorsa, executive vice president of marketing, New Line Home Entertainment. "With a fantastic guest-star cast and intriguing storylines, we expect The Twilight Zone DVD set to transcend the science-fiction genre and appeal to a broad audience."
Widescreen, Dolby 5.1, DTS 5.1...wow! Nice specs, New Line! And a great cast of guest stars, to boot. In fact, if the list in their press release wasn't extensive enough, then check out our list here; they missed a few!
A word about the episode count: The press release, and the box, says "43" episodes are included, and we stated "44" in our first news item. Neither is wrong, it's just how you look at it. Each Wednesday night the series was shown as two half-hour stories back-to-back to take up a 1-hour slot on UPN's schedule. Each "episode" is being counted by us as one half-hour in every case, for all 22 nights it aired, including the double-length episode "The Lineman" (produced first, but aired on the sixth night, 10/23/02). That's 44 episodes at 30 minutes each (running time includes commercial breaks). New Line is doing the same, with one small difference. The studio has chosen to view "The Lineman" as a single episode, rather than as a two-part episode, and adjusted the episode count to "43" instead. We consider that a strange move, considering that the marketing folks usually want numbers like that to be as high as possible. In either case, we're all on the same page as to which episodes will be included: all of them! To get more details about each story, check out the TVTome.com episode guide for this series.
With that out of the way, let's look at the final piece of the puzzle: the cover art! New line is describing it as a "Digistak in slipcase". Our good friend Tom Woodward, who runs DVDAnswers.com, was kind enough to provide this for us, and we thank him for it. Enjoy!
