You thought the Sex and the City DVD collection was expensive? Start saving up for the ultimate Sopranos box set, coming this fall. Also look for a DVD spin-off from last weekend's Get Smart, and find out what new robot character Pixar might have planned to keep WALL-E company! Plus, this week's new releases after the jump.


A Sopranos Box Set To Die For...


HBO is already preparing for Christmas with a gift box that would melt any would-be mobster's heart: the ultimate Sopranos DVD set. All six seasons will be spread across a whopping ten pound, 28-disc collection (which also includes three soundtrack CDs), and will include 16 "lost" scenes, cast and crew interviews, and an interview of creator David Chase by super fan Alec Baldwin. Learn behind-the-scenes stories, like how Anthony La Paglia almost appeared in a show-within-the-show as a fictionalized version of Tony Soprano in Season 1, that Edie Falco auditioned for the role of Carmela only days before shooting the pilot (and wearing in-line skates), and that several fake final scenes were actually filmed to conceal Tony's controversially peaceful series exit. The price for reliving all this Sopranos glory? Four hundred bucks. Start saving those racketeering dollars now.




Third Futurama Movie To Be Fantasy-Themed


With the second Futurama DVD movie, The Beast with a Billion Backs, hitting shelves this week, co-creator David X. Cohen revealed just what breed of geek the forthcoming third Futurama movie will serve: the fantasy nerd. "The third one is a big move into the world of fantasy, magic and dragons and castles and that kind of stuff," he told Movie Web. "So you'll get to see the fantasy versions of all of our characters and I think it will be the most visually spectacular of the four." The fourth and final film, Cohen promises, will give fans yet another big finale in a more classic science-fiction style; read on for what Cohen calls their "best DVD extra ever" in this week's new releases!




Smart Sidekicks Getting Their Own DVD Movie

$39 million worth of moviegoers went to see Get Smart last weekend; will those same fans put down cash for a DVD spin-off movie starring supporting CONTROL nerds Bruce and Lloyd? Warner Bros. is betting on it, giving CONTROL gadget guys Bruce (Heroes' Masi Oka) and Lloyd (Nate Torrence) their own direct-to-video adventure, in stores July 1. The story of Get Smart's Bruce and Lloyd Out of Control will run parallel to that of Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell), which is in theaters now; purchase the DVD and get $7 off admission to Get Smart in select theaters.



Pixar Planning a WALL-E Spin-off Character?


In other DVD spin-off news, it looks like Pixar will double the population of adorable on-screen robots when they introduce a second character to accompany WALL-E's eventual DVD and Blu-Ray release. Over at /Film, director Andrew Stanton had vaguely described a "sci-fi short that is very connected to WALL-E" that had been produced at the same time. Later, in an unconfirmed report from Upcoming Pixar, an orchestra scoring musician divulged that the DVD extra is in fact titled BURN-E, about a robot named BURN-E. While the report remains as yet unconfirmed, be on the lookout for clues and sightings of the rumored BURN-E when WALL-E hits theaters this Friday!

Bruce this will probably get you pissed off but Deschanel isnt that good of an actress I think. She was so bad in The Happening, I mean really really bad. Please for your sake get her out of your head man.

I think Bruce was referring to her dad, not Zooey.

i'm anxious to see Out of Control and pretty much the only reason i'm renting it is Putty, that dude is hilarious. Get Smart was funny but he was almost a throw in that made no sense to me(since he's hilarious in his bit roles). i didn't get why he wasn't given a bigger part. having seen the preview to it...hopefully he has a way bigger part. if not...then it might suck big time. who knows.

I'm going to catch Definitely, Maybe because I missed it the first time around.

If I like so many Rotten movies like this, it will be nice to see a Fresh one. And Abigail Breslin is like sunshine on a movie screen.

Yes, I said it. Sun. Shine. On. A. Movie. Screen.

How do I file a complaint on here? I know I'm constantly b#tching about it, but I really need to see the spamming piece of sh#t from that dating website kicked the hell off RT.

..And I'll probably see Wall-E at some point..

Pretty good week for DVDs.

The Futurama section is kind of confusing...you talk about the next movie rather than the one that's being released.
