The Big Empty is coming to DVD, courtesy of Artisan Entertainment, on April 20th, 2004.

The DVD will reportedly include an alternate ending, deleted scenes, a gag reel, an audio commentary, a 'making of' featurette, an anamorphic widescreen presentation, Dolby Digital 5.1 audio, and optional English/Spanish subtitles/closed captions.

What is it with Rachael and character-driven movies about snatching large sums of money, set in the desert?

Thanks for the news, Adam. I'll move this to the "News & Info" section, and to the main page news section.

Adam, by thanking you for telling this news, we should call you "Mr DVD News" with all the DVD release dates you told us and you should submit your resumé as newsman... Good Luck..

I would, but have no time (girlfriend hehe..)

Thanks. One of my hobbies is keeping up with DVDs that are being released, and since I'm fairly familiar with the titles Rachael has been involved with, they usually stand out a bit when I'm skimming these lists.

Just to add on here that the Big Empty DVD will be also available here in Canada at the same date...

However, for French Canadian fans, no french dubbing will be offered

Will be released through videoclubs by Equinox Films.

C'ya !

no word on European release?

I just wanted to add that I was informed that there will be a couple scenes with Rachael on the extras for the DVD. Expect some fun deleted scenes.

I expect the throwing beer can scence. Again... no sign for release date here...

"The Big Empty" comes out on DVD today in the U.S. For anyone looking to add it to their shoppin' list, the best price floating around online looks to be Deep Discount DVD, who's carrying it for $14.35 shipped. Other than DDD and their sister store Digital Eyes, the going price seems to be hovering around $20 (including brick-and-mortar stores like Circuit City and Best Buy). There aren't any reviews of the DVD online yet, as far as I can tell. I don't think Artisan/Lion's Gate has sent out any screeners to the usual DVD review sites.

I actually saw a commercial on Comedy Central. Looks simular to Scorched, but not that much. And, as always, Rachael looks good.

I did enjoy it... Nicely told story...
