Gary Numan plays 'Cars,' with cars
Gary Numan, a keyboard, a single DieHard battery, and twenty-four cars. Selling out never sounded so good. Turn up your speakers and head on past the break.
Live Free or Die Hard DVD to also include downloadable version
Although we had heard that "another studio" would be mimicking the approach taken by Warner Home Video on the forthcoming Harry Potter DVD, now we're learning the who, what and when. Apparently, 20th Century Fox will be including an "electronic copy of the complete movie [that's Live Free or Die Hard, for those wondering] that can be played on a computer and select portable video players." This could debatably be seen as an "industry first" considering the November 20th release date (compared to Potter's December 11th), and while the Digital Copy system is expected to hit future Fox DVDs, we've no idea what those titles will be just yet. Furthermore, it's stated that the feature is "DRM-free," but after entering a 16-digit serial code found within the case, users can only "transfer the movie file to Windows-based computers or PMPs equipped with Microsoft Windows' PlaysForSure feature." Gotta love those limitations, eh?
Fox sets release dates, specs for Fantastic Four 2 & Die Hard 4
Last year Fox made a major splash in the Blu-ray market with its lineup of feature-laden titles, now its announced more details on the special features to expect on Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and Live Free or Die Hard. Both of these MPEG-4 encoded flicks will release on 50GB dual-layer discs with DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio soundtracks, D-Box motion support and BD-J powered strategy games. What isn't there, is any kind of BD-Live internet functionality, but it looks like we'll be waiting to take our Blu-ray discs and players online just a bit longer. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is due October 2, while the fourth Die Hard will release November 20th, alongside the Blu-ray box set of the first three movies in the series.
Today's most retro action game: Die Hard (NES)
The new Die Hard is set to bust blocks this summer, and the Angry Video Game Nerd looks back at the NES game based on the original movie. We're partial to his trailer versus his full review of the game. (The full video has a few amusing jokes, but the fast editing of the trailer wins us over.) It's even funny if you don't think swearing is hilarious -- although if you do, there's no reason not to watch.See the NSFW (for language) video trailer after the break.
Dial Hard: John McClane goes mobile
A new Die Hard game is in development, and while those of you still waiting for a fitting sequel to the awesome Die Hard Trilogy (no, we refuse to count Viva Las Vegas) are still out of luck, it's good news for people using mass transit or killing idle bathroom minutes. That's right: Gameloft has announced they've nabbed the mobile game rights to Live Free or Die Hard, due out in theaters this summer.We know it may not be what you were hoping for, but take heart. Gameloft VP Gonzague de Vallois said that they're trying to capture the movie's "action, intrigue and humor" ... in their cell phone game. We'll give them action and (maybe) intrigue, but humor? Is it possible? Can pressing the "7" key make you chortle? We'll find out when the game is released before the movie's June 27 debut.
