With yesterday's
Press Release from ADV stating that they had aquired the rights to three seasons of Earth: Final Conflict, we had a mystery on our hands. Back in August, Universal had
announced that THEY were planning to release E:FC in 2003, along with seven other series. Since August, there has been no more word from Universal about this. And now, yesterday's confusing news, that ADV was releasing E:FC "instead".
Well, the mystery was quickly solved, thanks to a
post on the official Andromeda message board from Marta at Tribune Marketing:
"Actually, ADV acquired the rights to Season 3, 4 and 5 of EFC. They will be released in one boxed set. Universal owns Seasons 1 & 2..."
That definately resolves the, uh, conflict (forgive the pun). As to whether we will get the five seasons released in order, Marta does not know. She had to admit in regard to Universal's two seasons that "I have no idea what they're doing with them". We will have to wait for Universal to step up to the plate and give us more information about their 2003 TV-to-DVD initiative (or whether there still IS one).
Thanks to Jeremiah Fenerty for pointing us in the right direction
NOTE: ADV doesn't usually release season sets of their products so the Season 3, 4 and 5 set of E:FC being release at once is unlikely
