Thanks to Dave, I now know the specs for the upcoming Collector’s Edition of “The Dead Zone.” Wow. What a disappointment those extra features are … and there is no Cronenberg audio commentary! Gah!!! So, those facts coupled with the super crappy cover art means this one will probably be a pass. Boo to you, Paramount.

THE DEAD ZONE:
– Memories from THE DEAD ZONE featurette on the history of King’s novel, how David Cronenberg took on the film version and its casting.
– The Look of THE DEAD ZONE featurette on the locations, photography and costumes.
– Visions from THE DEAD ZONE featurette on how Cronenberg created Johnny Smith’s flashes of the future.
– The Politics of THE DEAD ZONE featurette on the political aspects onscreen (Martin Sheen’s Gregg Stillson character), and off (regarding the film’s ending and scoring).

These featurettes include all-new interviews with Cronenberg, actress Brooke Adams, cinematographer Mark Irwin, editor Ronald Sanders and King biographer Douglas E. Winter.
