Seems like it was just a week ago (hey, it was!) that we were getting all excited because we could simply
report the correct
month that we would see the release of
Millennium - The Complete 1st Season.
Now we're pleased to bring you the exact street date of
July 20th, and full specs to boot! First off, though, here's the cover art that everyone's been waiting for, followed by Fox's back-of-the-box write-up of the set:
Retired serial-profiler Frank Black has moved his family to Seattle to escape the violence and horror he dealt with while working for the FBI in Washington, D.C. Although his uncanny and often unsettling ability to see into the twisted minds of serial killers has caused him much inner torment, Black knows his "gift" can still be used to help protect and save others. For that reason he has joined the mysterious Millennium Group, a team of underground ex-law enforcement experts dedicated to fighting against the ever-growing forces of evil and darkness in the world.
This 6-DVD box set will have a running time of 946 minutes. List price is $59.98 in the USA, and in Canada it will go for $89.98CAN. Fox's spec sheet shows that the video will be 1.33:1, and that we'll get Dolby Surround Sound in English, Spanish, and French. Subtitles are in English and Spanish.
