Outtakes and deleted scenes (w/ commentary), including full versions of interview segments featured in the film (Al Franken, etc.), and Liev Schreiber's screen test, which really does show how he nailed his character from day one.

They also address how spooky it was for their story to be reflected in reality (civilian military contractors coming to light, Halliburton in the news, etc.) as they honed the script and shot the film. Another featurette addresses the casting of the film's bounty of talents (and does so without sounding sycophantic).Дemme and co-writer Daniel Pyne provide a commentary track that makes an insightful listen for fans of the source book, the first film, and paranoid political thrillers in general, addressing how hard they resisted letting the film go in a conventional direction and never letting the hero become a Hollywood hero. The making-of gives much credit to the 1962 original, addressing most of the changes and why Demme and the writers made the choices they did, and provides quite a bit of insight into the creative stylistic choices too. What's worse, it doesn't even have a trailer for this movie!ДЇortunately once you get past that crap, the disc holds a pretty good package of extras.

No matter how good the DVD is, this is an automatic loss of one star rating. On this disc Paramount commits the cardinal sin of DVD: Forcing you to watch 8 minutes of trailers before you can access the menus. This film is almost more realistic on the small screen, where it seems even more like the real-life events we've been seeing on the news.
