In an effort to make sure every single person on the planet gets a chance to see this summer’s blockbuster “Iron Man” (which hits stores on DVD and Blu-Ray Sept. 30), Paramount Pictures — who made headlines yesterday by teaming-up with Marvel Studios — and Dell Computers will offer an exclusive deal in which purchasers of a new Dell computer will be given the option of ordering “Iron Man” pre-installed for $20 (which includes exclusive bonus footage).
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Dell’s partnership with Paramount is a clear attempt to compete with Apple’s iTunes Store, and the company plans to offer more Paramount films in the future for preload on new computers.
Meanwhile, as mentioned, the much-anticipated “Iron Man” DVD hits stores today, and in an attempt to get fanboys into an even bigger excited mess, Paramount has leaked several extended scenes and behind-the-scenes features on the web. Blog@ has a round-up of all five, but check out one of the Splash Page crew’s favorites below.
With all of the hype surrounding this DVD release, will it manage to beat out The ‘Hoff? Time will tell, True Believers!
