A few weeks ago the print edition of
Home Media Retailing revealed that
February 28th would see the release of
Deadwood - The Complete 2nd Season. The 12 hour-long episodes, including a two-part season opener, will have an SRP of $99.98. Usually we pass these things on to our readers right away, but we tried to hold off a bit and get some more info from HBO about this release first. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get it just yet. However, we have been informed by other industry sources (which we'll keep quiet about: while we love to give credit where it is due, we don't want anyone to get in trouble, either) about the bonus material that is in the works for this release! Here's the list (
Warning - contains spoilers):
- "The Real Deadwood, 1877": A look at what life was really like in Deadwood, South Dakota during this era.
- "Trusting the Process": An intimate portrait of series' creator David Milch's creative process.
- "Mr. Wu Proves Out": A compelling anatomy of the making of one of the most crucial scenes in the season finale.
- "The Wedding Celebration": A behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the complex, multi-layered event that marked the culmination of Deadwood's second season.
There are also supposed to be audio commentaries on board, we hear, but no details about them were available to us just yet. Our thanks to readers Brian L Ofenlock and Ryan Osentowski for their assistance with this story.
