Spider-Man Release Date and Cover Art Unveiled! - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Oscar Antonio M · 07-15-2002, 07:03 PM

Spider-Man will come out in November 1st and its pretty packed.
Its a 2 disc set (sadly no DTS track

, but hey Dolby sounded great on the theater with this one

)

Wow, it looks like an expensive November...

Avid · 07-15-2002, 07:12 PM

Yeah, but I am not sure if I will pick it up. I figure if it has the WTC teaser I will nab it. If it doesn't, I might wait. A sequel is on the way, and my friend said another one is planned after that. I smell a box set down the road.

BWilliams · 07-15-2002, 07:23 PM

Your friend is right, Avid. They're gearing up for a second film in 2004 and at least a third one beyond that.

And as for the banned WTC trailer, you can pick it up on DVD right now. It's on the current issue of Movie FX DVD magazine (issue #4) for $10 at bookstores. The quality on the print of the trailer is exceptional, so it's well worth the price. If the Spider-Man DVD doesn't include the WTC trailer, it'll be their loss, because it's out there on DVD in all its legal glory!

Oscar Antonio M · 07-15-2002, 07:35 PM

The lack of the WTC trailer, will be a real shame.
Another shame is that it dosent include a DTS track, though i saw it in Dolby Digital and sounded incredible, a DTS track could be even better.

I enjoyed this film a lot.So count me in November 1st

Deez108 · 07-15-2002, 07:58 PM

This set looks sweet. I can't wait to get it!

Marty McFly · 07-15-2002, 08:04 PM

Here's the cover art for both the Widescreen and Pan & Scam editions (can't wait!!!!!

):

Interesting that they changed the cover art for the different aspect ratios. I know some fans will be mad, because it gives the P&S version something the WS doesn't, but I think it should cut down on confusion, well, maybe--it will be easier to tell them apart, besides the banner across the top.

Oscar Antonio M · 07-15-2002, 08:22 PM

Those covers are much more cooler than i thought they will be.

DVDog · 07-15-2002, 08:25 PM

I'll be picking up the WS DVD of course, but I like the PS cover more.

Oscar Antonio M · 07-15-2002, 08:31 PM

I got an idea:
You can buy both versions.
Burn the F.F. version, but grab the insert,of the Widescreen one and put the insert as the widescreen cover!

feldon23 · 07-15-2002, 08:34 PM

Yeah. I like the P&S cover more too.

Thank god it's not head shots of the actors.

BWilliams · 07-15-2002, 08:42 PM

If I had to choose between just the covers, I would get the cover to the P/S version. That artwork is really nice.

However, there's only one version I'm getting... widescreen all the way!

Oscar Antonio M · 07-15-2002, 08:44 PM

Just like the Rolling Stone´s song says "You cant always get what you want"

Oscar Antonio M · 07-15-2002, 09:00 PM

I also have to tell you that the DVD-ROM feature of record your own commentary sounds excellent!

I had always wanted to make my own commentary

AnonomusBob15 · 07-15-2002, 09:30 PM

I like the widescreen cover better, thank God.

The set sounds loaded. I thought Tobey Maguire and Willem Dafoe were going to be on the commentary though.

Oh well, can't wait!

***SeanL*** · 07-15-2002, 11:12 PM

I too like the WS cover art better....
I guess since this movie was so big, Columbia isn't pulling the ole "better version in 6-8 months" ploy. At least I hope not.

UserNameUndecided · 07-15-2002, 11:29 PM

I like the widescreen cover better too! Spider-Man fills more of the image in the widescreen cover and I like the pose better.
Also the red on the banner and left side of the package looks a lot better and matches the movie better than orange.

I'll read the specs later, but I already plan on buying this movie when or soon after it comes out.

J Greer · 07-15-2002, 11:33 PM

I also prefer the WS cover art, but then again I own the teaser poster which is the same artwork.

RamonesGirl · 07-15-2002, 11:34 PM

Sweet deal

George McFly · 07-15-2002, 11:35 PM

WS cover is nicer IMO

nice to see the covers aren't the same
I'll be buying this movie blind, WS of course looks like some awesome extras

***Wirehed*** · 07-16-2002, 12:02 AM

Both covers are nice. I'll be buying the Widescreen of course.

November is going to REALLY frecking expensive.

I know what you mean. Spidey, LOTR, Episode II. Eek!

I personally prefer the WS cover art as well...

Crow T. Robot · 07-16-2002, 12:36 AM

wow i think im gonna get the "Collector's DVD Set" With All Bonus Stuff

Icon769 · 07-16-2002, 01:29 AM

I like the WS cover better, but the image from the teaser poster would have been even better...

Oh, does anyone know just what the LE edition will have besides the Amazing Fantasy 15 reprint?

Crow T. Robot · 07-16-2002, 02:13 AM

"Also on November 1, Columbia will release a Collector's DVD Set that will include the Widescreen DVD, a reprint of Marvel Comic's "Amazing Fantasy" #15 in which Spider-Man was created, an exclusive collectible drawing by former Spider-Man artist John Romita, Sr. and current Spider-Man artist John Romita, Jr., a collectible numbered film cel from the movie, and more"

thats all i know

daehkcid · 07-16-2002, 06:25 AM

Superbits image relesaed.

Oscar Antonio M · 07-16-2002, 06:29 AM

Well if what are you saying its true.
Well thanks for the heads-up

I am not much of a Spider-Man fan, i loved the film and enjoy the comics.

But i never liked the cartoon, so i will be getting the Superbit (if it is coming as dae is saying, but it will come, i feel it)

Avid · 07-17-2002, 06:03 AM

Thanks BWilliams! I will look for it this weekend.
