However, once we got deep into development, it became clear that we couldn't get a high-caliber product out so soon after the theatrical release. Getting the attention and focus of high-profile talent soon after a theatrical release is extremely challenging.

This type of work is time consuming and requires plenty of time for revisions and final tweaks. In the end, I was pleased with the product, and it was very well received, but next time we'll start earlier and try to get both out on the initial street date.

Sadly the transfer used for the DVD release last year is quite bad with strong and distracting discoloration.
