High-Def Digest reports that a two-disc “platinum” edition of The Golden Compass is coming to DVD and Blu-Ray in April:
Shared across both versions will be an audio commentary with Weitz, eleven making-of featurettes, multiple still galleries, and the film’s original theatrical teaser and full trailers.
Exclusive to the Blu-ray will be a picture-in-picture “Enhanced Visual Commentary” featuring Weitz and other cast and crew. (There’s no confirmation yet from the studio as to whether the PIP track will be Profile 1.1-enabled, but we’ll keep you posted.)
No deleted scenes, then? Not even the original ending that was cut from the film at the last minute, supposedly to be tacked onto the beginning of the first sequel? Does this mean the studio still plans to go ahead with the sequels, then? Or are they saving that footage for an even more super-duper edition further down the road?
