New Line Cinema has announced the April 26th release of the double-disc Blade: Trinity DVD, the final film in the popular vampire trilogy based on the Marvel Comics character. On the same day New Line will also release a five-disk Blade Trilogy Box Set (SRP $71.98), which will contain all three films in the series. Both the Blade: Trinity DVD (SRP #29.95), which comes in 'R' rated and Unrated versions, and Blade Trilogy DVD sets will include (while supplies last) a Marvel Comics' exclusive, limited edition comic book: Blade: Nightstalking, which reveals the never-before-seen backstory of Abigail Whistler as she meets her father for the first time and rescues Hannibal King from the vampires. A select 12,500 copies of this all-new, 28-page comic book adventure will feature pre-printed artist signatures from award-winning writer Jimmy Palmiotti, writer Justin Gray and penciler Amanda Conner.
The unrated Blade: Trinity DVD includes 10 minutes of added footage plus two commentary tracks featuring writer/director David Goyer, Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds. Both the 'R' rated and the Unrated versions of Blade: Trinity include a second disk filled with special features including a 16-part documentary, a blooper reel, an alternate ending and a featurette on David Goyer.
