The production of the commentary/scrapbook</I></B><B><I> involved digging out the storyboards, behind-the-scenes footage, sifting through tapes of outtakes, and pulling them together in a way that I hope gives a real inside view of the crazy process that was involved in this film.” </I></B></FONT></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s2 style='text-align: center;'> <FONT style='color:#FFFFFF;font-size:13pt;'><B><I> </I></B></FONT></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s2 style='text-align: center;'> <FONT style='color:#FFFFFF;font-size:13pt;'><B><I> </I></B></FONT></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s2 style='text-align: center;'> <FONT style='color:#FFFFFF;font-size:13pt;'><B> </B></FONT></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s2 style='text-align: center;'> <FONT style='color:#FFFFFF;font-size:13pt;'><B> </B></FONT></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s2 style='text-align: center;'> <FONT style='color:#FFFFFF;font-size:13pt;'><B></B></FONT><FONT style='color:#FFFFFF;font-size:17pt;'><B>Mastered at full 1080 24p, multiregion, with subtitles in English, French, Spanish, Italian and German. </B></FONT></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s2 style='text-align: center;'> <FONT style='color:#FFFFFF;font-size:13pt;'><B> </B></FONT></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s2 style='text-align: center;'> <FONT style='color:#FFFFFF;font-size:13pt;'><B></B></FONT><FONT style='color:#FFFF00;font-size:13pt;'><B>SPECIAL: As noted above, this Blu Ray version was personally supervised by the Director, and carries his full approval as the definitive version of the film.
