A while back we
told you about the
July 19th DVD debut of Sam Raimi's
Cleopatra 2525, the hot-and-sexy syndicated scifi series featuring Jennifer Sky, Victoria Pratt and Gina Torres of
Firefly (and the
upcoming feature film,
Serenity). At the time we passed on the extras that Universal had mentioned in the early info: Never-Before-Seen Deleted Scenes and Outtakes.
Now Universal has revealed that there will be additional extras on this release as well. One is another featurette, this one about Special Effects and Stunts. The other is a bonus episode from another series' season set that the studio is releasing on DVD the same day.
Earth 2's "The Man Who Fell to Earth (Two)" is the exact title of the included episode. There's no storyline connection between
Cleopatra 2525 and
Earth 2 prompting the inclusion; this is just an attempt at cross-promoting the releases.
Universal is promoting
Cleopatra 2525 - The Complete Series as "the sexiest sci-fi action series ever!" Some of our readers have complained that this just isn't true (
Lexx comes up often in these notes), but the studio is doing everything it can to be true to their word on the "sexy" part. Just take a look at the sample menu shots they've provided. While the Main Menu takes its cue from the package art, the Extras Menu certainly spices things up even further!
