Roll 'em...Action! HBO has released the box art for
Extras - The Complete Series Gift Set, due in stores on
January 15th. As we
reported, this contains the first and second seasons, already out on disc, plus the new-to-DVD "
Extras - Extra Special Series Finale" including guest stars David Tennant (
Doctor Who, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), Clive Owen (
Sin City, Elizabeth: The Golden Age) and singer George Michael.
That finale airs on HBO this coming December 16th (and in the UK on the BBC on December 25th, since this is an HBO/BBC co-production). It has been nicknamed "Bloody Merry" by some fans due to the slogan used in the advertising campaign
at HBO's site (and which is duplicated on the box art shown below). The 5-DVD set with all twelve episodes, plus the special (which is only available in this package) will go for $49.99 SRP, but can be
pre-ordered at Amazon for $34.99. Our thanks to reader Drew Galaska for assistance with this story.
