MVD Entertainment Group
has done it again! It is becoming a
habit … a habit worth noting.
Word arrived this week
that the next addition to the company’s popular “Marquee Collection” line of
Blu-ray products will be none other than director John Woo’s 2002 World War II
drama, Windtalkers, which will be available on Oct. 9.
In recent weeks MVD has
sets plans for “Marquee Collection” releases of director Eric Karson’s Angel
Town (Sept. 25), Barbershop, Barbershop
2: Back in Business and Beauty
Shop (all on Sept. 11), Autumn in New York, Blast! and Crazy
Six (all three on Aug. 28) and Walking Tall (Aug. 14), starring
Dwayne Johnson.
Windtalkers, a story
about Navajo “code talkers” at the battle of Saipan, starring Nicholas Cage, Christian
Slater and Ben Yahzee, will be available on Blu-ray as a double-disc collection
featuring both the original theatrical cut (clocking in at 134 minutes) and the
Director’s Cut (featuring 19 minutes worth of additional footage).
Bonus features for the “Marquee Collection” Blu-ray release
of Windtalkers
include not one, but three commentary options — one featuring director John Woo
and producer Terence Chang; the second with actors Christian Slater and Nicolas
Cage and the third with real-life Navajo code talker Albert Smith, who is
joined by actor Roger Willie, who plays code talker Charlie Whitehorse in the
film.
There are also deleted
scenes and five production featurettes — “The Code Talkers: A Secret Code of
Honor,” “American Heroes: A Tribute to Navajo Code Talkers,” “The Music of
Windtalkers,” “Four Fly-on-the-Set Scene Diaries” and “Actors Boot Camp.”
