CORPORATE LINE: Touchstone Home Entertainment proudly presents the ED WOOD SPECIAL EDITION, on DVD on October 19, 2004. An offbeat, comical, moving film from acclaimed director Tim Burton (“Big Fish,” “Batman,” “Edward Scissorhands”), ED WOOD SPECIAL EDITION is the hilarious true-life story of Ed Wood, the wackiest filmmaker in Hollywood history. On DVD this hugely entertaining cinematic gem features an outstanding slate of DVD bonus material with deleted scenes (including Bill Murray’s rendition of “Que Sera Sera” with a mariachi band in a meat locker!); audio commentary with Tim Burton, Martin Landau and filmmakers; incredible “on the set” footage outrageously hosted by Johnny Depp; visits with the production designer and composer; recollections from Martin Landau and Rick Baker on Bela Lugosi, and more.
THE FILM: Tim Burton’s tribute to Ed Wood and his zany films that inspired other filmmakers—like Burton himself. Ed Wood the film is a wonderfully charming biographical. Ed Wood is quirky and has a meloncoly that hangs over Mr. Woods. Ed Woods’ love for film, women’s clothes, Bela Lugosi all weave throughout his ultimate love for making people feel the same way he did about movies–great.
Johnny Deep is brilliant as Ed Woodl He knows how to step into character and make us believe he is Ed Wood. Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi is a wonderful design on brilliant acting. Of course there are detractors that can’t stand black-and-white films—but color would have spoiled this masterpiece.
