Studios feel pinched disc as DVD bonus costs boom | |

Don't get too used to all those embellishments on DVD versions of your favorite films. Many video vets believe such extra material could start to disappear thanks to escalating costs and demands by talent and guilds. Studios are balking at new fees for script use and star participation, even as overall DVD sales surge and consumers embrace ``special edition'' packages. Variety's sister publication Video Premieres reports this month that Arnold Schwarzenegger was paid $75,000 for audio commentary and other input on Artisan's recent ``Total Recall'' disc. And while that may be a pittance compared with the $30 million he's set to earn for ``Terminator 3,'' it exceeds the entire production budget for all extra material on many special editions. Until recently, directors and others have mostly agreed to sit at no charge for DVD interviews or commentaries to help promote the movie or for purely nostalgic or personal interests. | ||
