Secret Window DVD - June 22

BevVincent

Anybody out there picking this up?



I saw it in theaters and loved it. I'm glad to see the quick turnaround to DVD now that it's out of theaters. Johnny Depp gives a great performance - not Oscar-worthy, but a lot of fun. If you didn't see it before, don't miss it!

That's awesome that it's coming out so fast! I'll be buying it with some birthday money. I didn't get around to seeing it in the theaters so I'm very anxious to watch it on DVD. Thanks for the heads up!

I loved the film, and it's giving me an appetite for the book, which unfortunately I haven't got around to reading yet. (hope I have it somewhere in our combined collection of SK novels). I will be very tempted to get the DVD when it is released over here.

Got it yesterday - am hoping to watch it tonight.



I've read some reviews of the disc, and there's talk of an alternate ending - one that's just a tad longer and a little different from the theatrical version - included on the disc. Curious to see what that is...

As I said in another thread, I came home from work yesterday to find it on the table - now I need to find the time to watch and check out the deleted scenes!

Watched it today - as good as I remembered it. I really enjoy Depp's performance in this.



The alternate ending was pretty cool, too - although I "got it" with the original ending. Still, it made for a neat visual.

Solid movie made more entertaining by the performances of Depp and Turtoro. Got quite the chuckle out of seeing Timothy Hutton in the flick - given his previous history with the Dark Half.



I never had a chance to see the alternate ending - can someone describe it?



Thanks

Hey Lou -



The alternate ending went like this:

As Depp is narrating over the end, and we look out the window to see the crop of corn flourishing - instead of cutting to him biting into the corn, it pans down into the dirt, through the roots of the corn plants and finally to a couple of bodies....you know whose.



Then, he bites the corn.

Here's an interview with director/writer David Koepp.

Thanks Blu - that's pretty close to the original ending.



Thanks for the interview link Bev. BTW how do you label a link like you did?



I knew how do this at one time and now can't remember.  :(

I'll use squiggly brackets instead of square ones to demonstrate:
