Leno special edition

The Chintastic 2-disc Special Edition of Leno is available on bluray and dvd and it's packed full of interesting special features.


Leno special features disc 1:
•DVD commentary by me and my brother.

•DVD Commentary by Jay (me in character as Jay Leno, it's kind of like "The King" commentary on the Bubba Ho-Tep DVD)

•Original theatrical trailer.

•Sing along track.

•Tonight Show Kids commercial

•Pop-Up Facts.



Leno special features disc 2:



•Behind the scenes documentaries.

•Deleted scenes.

•Outtakes.

•Storyboard to screen comparisons.

•Interactive Chinstar comic.

•Jay Leno playtime friend commercial.

•The Man Behind The Story.

•Roc's Workshop (a look inside the workshop of our special effects supervisor Rock Hemmerson)

•Little Jay and Friends short cartoons.

•Crazy character creation: A documentary about the makeup process I had to undergo to play Jay.

•Backstage Secrets.

•Me and my brother's tonight show appearance.

Those are all the dvd features. The dvd includes  never before seen musical numbers that weren't in the original version.   The bluray version also has these special features as well.

 In the film version of Leno the love song that plays in the background during the part where Jay and Mavis are having their romantic evening together is Take My Breath Away by Berlin.    This song is from the movie Top Gun and has been featured in commercials and tv shows including the trailer for Toy Story 3 that debuted last month (during the scene where Barbie meets Ken).

The reason we chose that song is because it is not only an awesome song but it is also powerful and a really lovely 80's song.     When we were picking a love song to use in that scene with Jay and Mavis we decided against using My Heart Will Go On from Titanic because these days it's been overdone -  and it's been played so many times it's become annoying.
