Hopefully most of you have heard the news by now (and if not, then go back to the main page and sign up for the monthly newsletter, slackers!) – a deal with the Devil has been struck, and an all-new version of the Broken Saints DVD Collection is hitting shelves across North America on August 1st! (and soon to follow in stores around the world)
A lot of fans have been wondering if any new stuff will be added (aside from the swanky packaging seen here) – and, as is most often the case in the saintly universe, ask…and ye’ shall receive!
– 53 new creator commentaries, now covering the entire series!!!
– an all-new 5.1 Surround mix, including new voice and music in select scenes!!!
– many art tweaks, including a beautiful new version of Chapter 13!!!
– a 1HR project post-mortem panel with Brooke, the audio team, Telefilm Canada, and David Kaye (LEAR)!!!
– more TV interviews, fan films, doc’ footage, and behind-the-scenes treats!!!
– and yes…a PLAY ALL feature!!!
So yeah…it certainly looks like it ain’t gonna suck, therefore we’re eager to spread the good word on more time. If you’re keen to assist, there are two main ways you can help:
1) AMAZON – the new set’s already listed, and they’re even accepting pre-orders (cheaper than ever – with FREE SHIPPING!). If you’re an Amazonian, then please consider posting a glowing review up there, as well as linking it on your blogs and personal pages. Every little bit helps, and any pre-purchases will spike our ranking and turn much-needed eyes our way! 🙂
2) BS MYSPACE GROUP – another nod from the newsletter, but now it’s official. FOX will be giving away some sweet swag to folks who join our group and spread the gospel to their friends and on their personal pages. Essentially, it’s like a virtual street team, where the top performers will win TV collections, movies, posters, shirts, movie passes, and other limited edition treats. And hey…I think they’re even going to make framed lithographs of the Comicon banners for the really eager beavers 😀
Crazy thanks to everyone who has already enlisted to the cause. Here’s hoping that the BS posse swells into a legion…and the BS legion soon grows into an army. This is our big chance, but we’ll need some serious wind at our backs. Can you all purse your lips and exhale simulaneously?
Peace, Respect (and more than a little excitement)
Bii
YEAH…JOIN MYSPACE if you havent already….
NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But MySpace sucks…
TRUE! But the BS Group is cool…and you’ll win stuff, Eggy!
Heh, MySpace is okay so long as you stay away from all the moody teens and underage girls who post seminude photos of themselves.
I just pre-ordered my copy of the DVD. I like how if you just do a random search for “Broken Saints” on Amazon, it says that it’s “By Greg Anderson.” 😉
YES! I was hoping for that PLAY ALL! Thanks again Brooke, you think of everything.
I’m glad we were able to add a bunch of junk…that was one of the deciding factors of going with Fox – they funded the authoring and additions, so we had time and support to pimp the surround mix, do all the commentaries, and add some art, voice, and special features treats!
It’s pretty damn comprehensive now – the only thing missing is the Benefit Concert stuff, and that was more for vanity purposes than anything 😉 Besides, they’ll continue to live online!

You should’ve kept the “Bulls on Parade” in there; in all honesty that was the only thing on the benefit concert doc that I watched.
Guys, if you like Broken Saints you probably have pretty good taste, but it doesn’t mean you have to be some kind of Internet elitist. There is nothing wrong with getting a Myspace – I mean, you don’t have to use it, but if you do you might even make some friends. And yeah, lots of emo kids and random people on there, but hey, the world has a lot of emo kids, and you’re perfectly fine with sharing that with them. Why not Myspace?
You all neeedddddd to put up allllllll the concerts. I love seeeing all the peoples that come to them and party hardy.
Hey Brooke. With FOX pushing the DVD, will the original “Donnie Darko” chapter intro music make its way back into the series, along with other mainstream music that ended up being taken out of the OG DVD set?
