Johnny Depp's THE LIBERTINE on DVD June 27th

An online video store, tlavideo.com, is now offering pre-orders of THE LIBERTINE, featuring Johnny Depp’s tour-de-force portrayal of the second Earl of Rochester, and lists the release date (for Region 1) as June 27, 2006. The list price is $28.99, but tlavideo is offering a discount price of $22.99. No details are given regarding the contents of the DVD, but a recent article in the trades suggested that THE LIBERTINE would be a director’s cut, and that a “Making of THE LIBERTINE” documentary would be included. The Zone thanks Messiah for posting the news; you can see the DVD listing HERE. Thanks also to chaingirl17, who reports that THE LIBERTINE is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com for a discount price of $19.99.

Deppheads, an announcement: The AFI Fest DVD contains the full Tribute to Johnny Depp!

Yes, it’s true: the DVD of AFI Fest 2005 contains the full interview portion of “A Tribute to Johnny Depp.” The montages and film clips from Johnny’s work are not included, but the entire interview is on the DVD. This is an unexpected delight, since buyers were promised only “highlights” of the Tribute; apparently the producers decided (and rightly so) that every moment with Johnny Depp was a highlight of the festival. The Zone thanks theresa for posting the good news on the AFI DVD thread on the Porch. DVDs of AFI Fest 2005 may be ordered HERE and cost $19.99 plus shipping.
