It's almost been a year since we last gave you news about the straight-to-DVD Dead Like Me movie. Back then, it was rumored that the movie would be released during the summer of 2008, more precisely around Comic-Con time. Well, looking at all the snow outside my condo and at my DVD collection, it's clear that summer has gone by and that the rumor turned out to be false.After months and months of waiting for the release and trying to find every tidbits of info about the movie (aka spoilers and trailer), our wait is almost over. In an official press release, MGM and FOX not only announce when the movie will finally be released but also that they are putting a collector's edition of the series on the market!
The movie, titled Life After Death, will be released on DVD on February 17, 2009. The action takes place two years after the series finale and, as we reported in various posts in 2007, the repears report to a new boss portrayed by Lost's Henry Ian Cusick and Daisy is now played by Sarah Wynter (remember that both Mandy Patinkin and Laura Harris were not available at shooting time because of their engagement to TV series). The new boss has a secret agenda that creates disorder amongst the reapers while George breaks one of the most important rules when being a reaper: Do not reveal yourself to your Earthly family. The DVD features two extras: a commentary and a featurette about resurecting the series in movie format.
The Complete Collection: Soul Collectors' Edition 9-Disc Set will be released on the same day. This DVD set includes all the episodes as well as the movie, commentaries, deleted scenes, featurettes and more.
For more details about the straight-to-DVD movie DVD and the collectors' DVD-set, such as what each disc will contain, read the press release sent out earlier this week. You can also get more information on the Life After Death's official website.
To help us wait until mid-February, I've included a new trailer in which Ellen Muth, as George, tells us what she and her friends have been up to.
