Straightheads / Closure on DVD

As far as I know Blockbuster in the UK will have the Straightheads discs before anyone else - 18th August I think, don't quote me though. The US and Canada release (as "Closure") is next, on Sept 18th - but be warned this is a barebones edition, with no extras whatsoever. If you want the full deal, you'll have to wait till the UK release of Straightheads a week later by Verve Pictures, which has a commentary by Gillian, Danny and me, plus deleted scenes (also with comm), interviews with the three of us (separately this time!) and some behind-the-scenes footage. I'm looking forward to a lot more people here and in North America being able to get their hands on my film... Gotta go and make breakfast, I'm casting all today and tomorrow. Actors make me hungry.

Pre-ordered my copy months ago when I didn't know what kind of extra material would be added to it! So I have a pretty big smile on my face. Can't wait to see it again. Thanks for updating us, Dan and have fun with the new project.

Thanks for the head up, Dan!! I've already ordered my copy and can't wait to watch it again as I've seen it ''only'' five times :P Thanks for keeping in contact.

Thanks Dan for the update, I can't wait to get the copy with all the extras on it. I'll order it as an import from Germany (as I have done with so many Gillian films before...) Will definitely leave a comment (or several) here when I've seen it.

Thanks for the update, Dan. It's nice to know that you remember about your blog readers. I hope you don't mind the questions I'm going to ask. Like, what kind of deleted scenes are we talking about: the "uncensored" parts or more background for the characters? I also wonder how the US/Canadian reviewers will react to your movie. Do you think the reviews will be even more harsh than in UK? And in retrospect, is there anything you would change about the movie itself (the script, the acting, the cinematography or sound/track) or the way it has been promoted?

Good luck on your casting choices and the new movie. And get some rest, too. ;-)

Hi Dan!

Great to hear from you! Thanks for the update. I've had Straightheads pre-ordered for months now and I can't wait to see it again! I'm really looking forward to it! Not long to wait now!

Good luck with your casting over the next couple of days. I'm sure you'll do a superb job of casting your new project as you did in your casting for Straightheads.

I look forward to your next update.

Take care.

Hi Dan,
Thanx for this update. SH fans were freaking wondering about these details! Looks like I'm gonna order the UK version and go buy a multi-regional DVD player so I can watch it! Eh, I need a new DVD player anyway!
