A bit of release date news for you today.

Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment will release a 2-disc Season 1, Volume 1 box set for FlashForward on DVD February 23, 2010. Similar to Fox's move with Glee, this Volume 1 box set will contain the season's first handful of episodes (10 to be exact), with the release coinciding with the show's return on March 4. Retail runs at $29.99, and it appears no special features will be included.

Lionsgate Home Entertainment will release Season 3 of the critically acclaimed, award winning series Mad Men on DVD and Blu-ray. Retail runs at $49.98 for the 4-disc DVD set, and $49.99 for the 3-disc Blu-ray. Expect multiple Audio Commentaries and Featurettes on both sets, with the Blu-ray also getting an Interactive "...look at the inventions, events and people that defined the year [1963]...". Additionally, the DVD will come housed in limited edition "Lowball Glass" packaging.

Warner Brothers Home Entertainment, to coincide with the first-time release of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy on Blu-ray, will release the Ralph Bakski's animated rendition of The Lord of the Rings in new Remastered Deluxe Editions on April 6, 2010. Retail runs at $19.98 for the DVD, and $29.99 for the Blu-ray. While the Blu-ray will include a Digital Copy, both will contain the "Forging Through The Darkness: The Ralph Bakshi Vision for The Lord of the Rings" Featurette.

New Line Home Entertainment (via Warner) will release the original horror classic, A Nightmare on Elm Street, on Blu-ray on April 6, 2010. It will retail at $24.98, and outside of the "Ready Freddy" Focus Points (highlighting alternate takes and filmmaking secrets), the release will feature all of the features of the 2-disc Infinifilm DVD edition released back in 2006 (review here).

Additionally, a 8-disc Nightmare on Elm Street DVD Collection will be available, retailing at $49.92. It will include all 8 films featuring Freddy Krueger, which include:

A Nightmare on Elm Street
A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors
A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master
A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child
Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare
Wes Craven's New Nightmare
Freddy vs. Jason

The set appears to be mostly a repackaging of the original Nightmare box set which has been available for many years, and contains very little by way of special features (Commentary on Nightmare 1, New Nightmare and Freddy vs. Jason, as well as the ending 3D sequence on Freddy's Dead). It appears however, that this box set and the Blu-ray release of the first film will feature Movie Money to see the new remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street, which will be released on April 30, 2010.

More on each of these releases as we know it.
