San Diego Convention Center, Room 6CDEF
San Diego, California
Presented by The Digital Bits
Sponsored by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment
DVD is the hottest home entertainment format� ever! And everyone's got their own list of favorite discs. But how do those discs get made? Who decides what extras should (or shouldn't) be included, and what goes into that decision? How involved is a film's director, and other creative talent, in the creation of the disc? And just who comes up all those funky Easter Eggs anyway?
Join The Digital Bits.com's Bill Hunt and a panel of some of Hollywood's most talented DVD producers, as they answer these questions and more. Tentatively scheduled to participate are Laurent Bouzereau (Jaws, Lawrence of Arabia, Close Encounters), Alita Holly (Ghostbusters, Men in Black, Thirteen Days), J.M. Kenny (The Mummy, Dogma: SE, Willy Wonka: 30th Anniversary), Charles de Lauzirika (Gladiator, Hannibal, Blade Runner: SE), Van Ling (Abyss, T2: Ultimate Edition, Star Wars: Episode I), David Prior (Ravenous, Fight Club, Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes) and Mark Rance (Austin Powers, Se7en, Unbreakable).
The panelists will give you an inside look at the challenges involved in turning your favorite movies into terrific DVD special editions. You'll also get an exclusive sneak peek at some MAJOR titles that are on the way for later this year and early 2002. We'll be holding a prize drawing for a brand new DVD player at the event, and lots of great DVD movies will be given away as well, thanks to 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, which is sponsoring the event. If you love movies on DVD, this panel's absolutely not to be missed!
