Easter Eggs

After trawling through the internet for what seemed like aeons, posting questions at countless forums and even writing, twice, to Zoetrope Studios itself (no replies) I finally found the easter eggs that were promised on the ads for the the re-release back in 2004. Ok, there's not much to them but I'm still glad I finally found them - especially when I consider how non-technically-minded I am. The 1st egg is simply a brief clip of Francis Coppola on the Zoetrope lot bemoaning the fact that one very large prop - a life-size replica of the front of a passenger plane - is to be taken away. The 2nd egg, in two parts, features an 11 year-old Sophia Coppola speaking directly to camera, attempting to persuade people to come and see the film despite all the bad press. Afer the 2nd attempt, where she says the film's basically in a mess and is hardly a masterpiece, her dad, unsurprisingly, expresses some reservations about her approach to movie promotion! The 3rd egg is visual effects supervisor, Robert Swarthe, being interrupted by what he suspects is a car alarm, during his explanation of how motion control photography was used in the film.

Yeh, I know, hardly rivetting stuff, but here's how you find them. On disc 2 select 'From the Vaults'/'Found Objects'/'This One's From The Heart Music Video'. Once the promo video begins, select the play all option on your remote control - the eggs will play after the music video ends. My copy is Region 2, but it seems unlikely that the eggs would be absent from any other edition, least of all Region 1.

I've submitted the above info here:

P.S. - knowing my luck, I was the only one in the dark about these, admittedly rather dull, eggs. If so, my apologies. Nonetheless, eggs aside, this is one the best dvd packages I've ever bought.
