Lionsgate to Break New Bread with Waiting

According to Home Media Retailing, Lionsgate has some pretty interesting ideas for the upcoming DVD release of their comedy, Waiting.

For starters, Lionsgate is going to have the actors doing a commentary track that is “superimposed” over the film. Viewers will be able to access this and a bevy of other supplemental materials by “clicking” on a “hotdog” icon that will appear throughout the movie.

According to Lionsgate brand manager, Tim Pruitt, “We felt [ Waiting…] is a movie like Clerks and Office Space with a cult following, and we wanted to do something that would capitalize on that... because there are so many underlining jokes and the cast is so funny, there is a ton of [bonus material] to keep you entertained.”

In addition to all this, director Rob McKittrick will also be doing a commentary where he employs a “telestrator” which gives him the ability to “pause the film in real time and make notations on the screen.”

A hilarious comedy about frustrated waiters, stingy tippers and dicey food, Lionsgate Films' Waiting stars Ryan Reynolds, Justin Long and Anna Faris as young employees battling boredom at Shenanigan's, a generic chain restaurant.

Waiting is available on DVD and UMD through Lionsgate Home Entertainment on February 7th, 2006.
