crewless news and notes

If anyone out there plans to hunt down a copy of Hide and Creep on July 19 (less than two months from now!), they might want to check out our page on the Asylum’s web site. They’ve posted the “key art,” which is basically what the eventual DVD case will look like. The picture’s kind of small, but you’ll get the idea.

The good folks at Dead Planet just posted a review of Hide and Creep.

Reviewer Thea Zara called our little zombie flick ”…a helluva ride through a rural area, where you get to see the comedy and the crisis.”

See what else she had to say about the movie at DeadPlanet.info.

I just noticed that the Asylum’s web site has Hide and Creep listed as their release for July 19, so that day is looking more promising as our “street” date.

For anyone curious about the specifics of the Hide and Creep DVD, we’re working on the following:

• Widescreen presentation of the movie (1.85:1 aspect ratio, enhanced for 16x9 televisions)
• New audio mix (now in stereo!)
• Audio commentary with Chuck and me
• Remastered teaser trailer (16x9 enhanced)
• The super-cool trailer that Adam Wingard cut for us (16x9 enhanced)
• Birthday Call, the short movie that inspired Hide and Creep (presented for the first time in 2.35:1 aspect ratio! 16x9 enhanced!)
• Bob’s Live Bait, a look at the making of one of Hide and Creep’s most popular scenes

That’s about it, due to time and data constraints. Still, I hope it’ll be an entertaining package.

To sweeten the deal just a bit more, I also hope to include a web link on the DVD that’ll let you access some more exclusive bonus content via the ‘net. I’m still working out the kinks on that, though.

Stay tuned…
