In
our last Millennium news, we passed on from a Sr. VP at Fox Home Entertainment that this series would begin to hit DVD sometime in 2004, with more details to follow later.
Now a fan website, The Millennial Abyss, has
this to say about Fox's plans for supplements on the first box set:
The form of Millennium's DVD release is beginning to take shape following 20th Century Fox's announcement that the series will be coming soon, and the details are promising. Specifically, material is being compiled for the DVD's bonus features. Michael R. Perry is the latest Millennium staffer to have been interviewed by the company producing supplementary bonus material for the box sets. He joins Lance Henriksen, Chris Carter, Chip Johannessen, and Robert McLachlan, all having taped interviews regarding the series. In the coming weeks interviews are planned with James Wong, Mark Snow, and others. The forthcoming discs will, thankfully, include Millennium and more. While no date has been scheduled for the release of Millennium's first season, the production company has indicated they expect the set sometime this summer. Further details, as always, will be posted as they become available.
All these people participating in supplements makes for a very promising release, wouldn't you say? This is very exciting-sounding, and we can't wait to enjoy this fine show once more.
However, the summer release speculated upon by the production company may not be the correct timeframe. Yesterday, The Rumor Mill area of The Digital Bits website
reported that
Millennium, along with other Chris Carter series
Harsh Realm and
The X-Files (the final season, in any case), won't be warming under retailer lights until November 2004.
Our thanks to Chris Bookless for the tip-off about the info at The Millennial Abyss. Stay tuned, because we are as anxious for news about this release as you are, and look forward to bringing you every juicy tidbit that we can dig up! After all, we were orginally told to expect this
a long time ago...
