Baby Mama, Leatherheads, Forgetting Sarah Marshall DVD, Blu-ray
July 15, 2008

Universal has a big September planned, with three theatrical comedy hits on the way.

First up is Tina Fey comedy Baby Mama, which grossed $59.9 million, on Sept. 9 (prebook Aug. 5) on DVD and Blu-ray.

DVD will offer alternate ending, deleted scenes, commentary and featurettes "Saturday Night Live: Legacy of Laughter" and "From Conception to Delivery: The Making of Baby Mama," but, curiously, the studio is saying Blu-ray only includes the commentary. Could be wrong; we'll let you know if we hear differently.

Next up, sports comedy Leatherheads on Sept. 23 (prebook Aug. 12). The George Clooney-directed comedy grossed $31.2 million and stars Clooney, Renee Zellweger and The Office's Jim Krasinski

DVD will have deleted scenes, commentary, visual effects sequences and featurettes "Football's Beginning: The Making of Leatherheads," "No Pads, No Fear: Creating the Rowdy Football Scenes" and "George Clooney: A Leatherheaded Prankster." On Blu-ray will be picture-in-picture and visual commentary with Clooney and producer Grant Heslov.

Finally, comes romantic comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall on Sept. 30 (prebook Aug. 19). The surprise hit grossed $62.9 million and stars Veronica Mars' Kristen Bell, Superbad's Jonah Hill and The 40-Year-Old Virgin/Knocked Up's Paul Rudd.

All will be priced at $29.98 on DVD and $39.98 on Blu-ray. But Marshall also will be offered in an Unrated Collector's Edition priced at $34.98.

Marshall's regular DVD will include deleted scenes, "Line-O-Rama," gag reel, the music video for "We've Got to Do Something," commentary, raw footage of a video chat and featurettes "Dracula's Lament" and "A Taste for Love."

The unrated version will add "Dracula's Lament" mixed version, "Puppet Break-Up," "Sex-O-Rama," "Drunk-O-Rama," "Russell brand: Aldous Snow," "The Letter U," "Crime Scene," "Sarah's New Show—Alts," video diaries, auditions and a Cinemax promotional featurette.

Blu-ray will have all that plus picture-in-picture, visual commentary and BD Live.
