Your average DVD probably would have had enough room for the all the features anyway. DVDs don't have much storage capacity compared to Blus but they can still pack a lot.

This seems more like they were too lazy or cheap to re-author any of the preexisting discs so they just plopped the new stuff onto a second disc. From what I've heard, it's the same exact disc as before right down to the commercial for the old "Traitor" movie that was on the first disc.

Could someone post the back cover for the Blu-ray, the disc itself, etc? I'm curious as to see how it looks.

I got another e-mail from The Hut today, apologizing for the delay. In fact, I've been getting a couple of e-mails from them every week for several weeks now. Apparently they are getting a lot of complaints from others who have also ordered. They don't give a reason for the delay, which indicates that the supplier isn't giving them a reason either.

Sounds like the producer screwed up on the release date. Has any other company listed this particular item for sale, or is The Hut the only one?

Just found this on the web, someone got a response from Momentum on Twitter regarding the DVD with the 40 min. documentary & extras:

badblokebob:
@MomentumPics Maybe a daft Q but, does Let The Right One In Bluray re-release w/ new extras exist, or are @zavvionline etc wrong to list it?

I just sent an info request to The Hut asking several point-blank questions. Most important of all: does the DVD have an interview with the lead actors? Has the supplier given you a reason for the delay?

I also informed them that I don't mind waiting if I eventually get what I ordered. However, if I get what I did not order, then I mind very much.

I think they can take a hint. ;)

Exclusive interview, featurette, and booklet are no longer listed as special features for blu-ray or dvd at The Hut and Zavvi, but listing still show 2 discs.

Good grief, so it was all an invention? Massive disappointment :evil:
