Trading Places And Coming To America: DVD Special Editions In June

Two of John Landis' Eddie Murphy comedies are getting special edition DVDs as of June 5. Don't expect director's commentaries, but there will be new interviews and other - as yet undisclosed [EDIT: Disclosed by me below... keep reading] - special features on both Trading Places (hurrah!) and Coming to America (hmmmm).

All three formats will be served up on the same day, which only reminds me how frustrating the ongoing 'Format War' is. Without being tough enough to fork out for a player (yet), I'm pitching my flag in Blu-Ray soil - how about you?

[EDIT: Here are the Coming to America special features:

24:36 PRINCE-IPAL PHOTOGRAPHY - THE COMING TOGETHER OF AMERICA
18:02 FIT FOR AKEEM - THE COSTUMES OF COMING TO AMERICA
12:52 CHARACTER BUILDING - THE MANY FACES OF RICK BAKER
05:35 (A VINTAGE SIT-DOWN WITH EDDIE AND ARSENIO)

And here are the Trading Places ones:

18:01 (INSIDER TRADING - THE MAKING OF TRADING PLACES)
07:56 (TRADING STORIES)
06:29 (DRESSING THE PART)
01:44 (THE DELETED SCENE)
00:05:22:16 (THE TRADE IN TRADING PLACES)]
