More xtras for Terminator 2 Extreme DVD

The new T2 DVD should be released prior to T3's opening! According to Video Store Magazine (3/18/03) there will be a few new extras featured on this 2-disc set!

James Cameron is back and contributes a rare feature-length audio commentary in T2: Extreme DVD, Artisan Home Entertainment's third disc outing with Cameron's Terminator 2: Judgment Day, one that surpasses the supplier's two prior editions in terms of transfer and extras.

Terminator 2 has received a new 1080p high-definition anamorphic widescreen transfer for the Extreme edition, as well as a frame-by-frame restoration that Artisan says makes the 1991 hit look better than when it premiered in theaters.

The version presented in the set is the special edition version of the movie that contains 16 minutes of footage that did not appear in theaters.

Joining Cameron in the audio commentary is co-writer William Wisher.

Special features in the set include an Extreme Interactive Mode, providing behind-the-scenes footage and graphic commentary providing insight into decisions during the film's shoot.

Other features include "No Fate But What We Make," a new documentary highlighting T2's role in the development of digital effects and modern filmmaking; "T2: On the Set," a retrospective montage that includes rare production footage; "Infiltration Unit Simulator and T2 FX Studio," a primer on image "morphing" that allows one to graft one's own head shot onto a T800 or T1000 Terminator; and "Skynet Combat Chassis Designer," with which one can construct and field-test a Terminator fighting machine.

The movie disc will include a Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX audio track and a Dolby headphone audio track.

The two-disc set is due in stores June 3 at $29.98.
