Buena Vista is preparing a special release with all 5 seasons of
Alias in one package. And they plan to tie it in with the character of "Milo Rambaldi" from the show. As fans of
Alias know, Rambaldi is a fictional character from the late 15th century, who is supposed to be a cross between the artistry/invention of Leonardo da Vinci, and the writing/prophecy of Nostradamus. The legacy of his work plays a part in the subplots of
Alias. Now the studio is tying this in with the DVD release of
Alias - The Complete Series.
Not much is revealed just yet, but you can go to
www.RambaldiDVD.com and sign up for updates and information as it becomes available. You'll also be able to download teaser wallpaper that looks just like that site's splash screen:
One of our readers, Dan Linzmeier, was at Comic-Con this past weekend, and caught something we missed. He tells us that the folks from Buena Vista Home Entertainment were handing out posters that said "The Keys Are Within Your Grasp," showing the Rambaldi cube above, and saying "Fall 2006" the URL of site mentioned above. Dan says that the reps in the booth stated that it had to do with a complete box set, but also reassured him that the separate 5th Season set is also coming out as well.
What else can we tell you about this? Not much else about the Rambaldi-themed Complete Series set, but another of our readers, "Phillip," wrote in with information for us from the official
Alias fan magazine about that separate 5th Season DVD set. According to him, it mentions that the extras will include, among others, this kind of material:
- Behind the Scenes of Episode 100
- A Day on the Set with Rachel Nichols
- A Rambaldi Feature
- Bloopers
- Commentaries
Nice! Stay tuned, and we'll try to dig up more info from the studio about both of these releases, and let you know when we have more to tell you.
