On May 1, 2007, Universal Studios Home Entertainment will release “The Hitcher” on DVD and HD DVD. A remake of the popular 1986 thriller, the film stars Sophia Bush (“John Tucker Must Die”) and Zachary Knighton (“The Prince and Me”) as college students who are terrorized by the titular character, a drifter with a homicidal urge and a talent for framing others for his crimes (played by Sean Bean of “Lord of the Rings” fame). The DVD will be available for a MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) of $29.98. The HD DVD Combo disc will be priced at $39.98.
“The Hitcher” on DVD will offer the following extra features, as quoted from the press release for the disc — but watch out for spoilers in the description!
Dead End — Wake up with Zach Knighton in his hotel room on the day of his character’s big death scene.
Road Kill: The Ultimate Car Crash — Comprehensive footage of the amazing, hard-hitting car stunts featured in the film.
Fuel Your Fear: The Making of The Hitcher — This fascinating featurette goes behind closed doors with the filmmakers to find out how they created the tension and terror of The Hitcher.
Chronicles of a Killer — Follow the murderous rampage of an evil and cunning serial murderer with mock news stories that follow in John Ryder’s blood-drenched footsteps.
