Simon Pegg and How to Lose Friends and Alienate People (trailer) director Robert Weide have taken to the nets, urging fans not to buy the DVD. The situation is sort of complicated (full rundown here), but the gist is that Weide and Pegg worked hard on extra material for the UK release and then got screwed when despite their best efforts, none of made it to the US release.
Weide goes into great detail about what he wanted and what they actually got and why an interview, a snippet of which I’ll include after the jump. But bottom line, he and Pegg say you shouldn’t buy the DVD. That’s cute you were thinking of us, guys, but honestly, you had me at “starring Kirsten Dunst.” Anyway, I think It’s clear why the movie failed: not enough animals on the poster. No bears riding horses? That’s just lazy.
