It's a ride packed with hair-raising visuals, special effects beyond the limits of the human imagination, which unearths the secret production rituals behind them.

The Mummy Deluxe Collector's Edition (DCE) DVD is being released by Columbia TriStar Home Video on January 11, 2000 for $39.95 RRP*. Bigger than the Sphinx or Pyramids combined, vaster than the Sahara desert, more intricate than the Nile's Delta, The Mummy DCE is sure to be Columbia's greatest DVD hit so far!

Special Effects To Die For

Courtesy of director Stephen Sommers and Industrial Light & Magic crew of Star Wars fame, The Mummy overflows with visuals which have earned its worldwide recognition as the epitome of an effects movie. From the enormous fire on board the passenger barge, to that unforgettable image of the Mummy's face rising out of the desert, only widescreen DVD can do justice to this movie's awesome special effects.

The Mummy DCE comes complete with the exclusive featurette "Building A Better Mummy" which is an in-depth look into the creative and technical process that brought about the astounding visual effects of the film.

Production, cast, filmmaker notes, cast and feature commentary with the Director and Editor, ensure that viewers gain a full behind-the-scenes perspective. Through these unique insights into the production process, viewers learn from The Mummy's illustrious star, BRENDAN FRASER, that due to the high amount of computer graphics in many scenes, the cast often found themselves acting or reacting to nothing in front of them.

Than Grains Of Sand In The Sahara Desert

This is one DVD which you will never forget. Not only does The Mummy DCE burst with added extras unique to DVD such as theatrical trailers, deleted scenes and an animated menu, which enables viewers to seek out hidden treasures such as Egyptology 101 (Facts About Ancient Egypt), but there's more. This is no ordinary DVD. The Mummy DCE is complete with DVD-Rom features which include an interactive Mummy game, two screen savers and electronic web postcards.

If you think you are brave enough to face a 3,000 old legacy of terror, top notch Hollywood talent, superb storytelling and the most dazzling visual effects ever brought to life on DVD, then unearth The Mummy DCE.

But remember, Death Is Only The Beginning.
