The digital age is well and truly here. Nearly anything a person could want in terms of media is now available at the mere click of a button, streamed directly to any device imaginable. Yet while the efficiency and ease of digital streaming is undeniable, there are still those who prefer the comfortable metallic sheen of physical discs; but is there enough room in this town for both of them<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Not according to the director of\u00a0<\/a>Shazam!\u00a0<\/em>While responding to a question on Twitter, David Sandberg spoke on the future of physical media, and the difficulties of getting physical releases approved. When asked if there would be more Blu-Ray releases of his films, he responded that “Unfortunately I think the best days of physical media and special features are behind us.” The director elaborated that the Blu-Ray of\u00a0Directing Annabelle: Creation<\/em> only existed because he had taken it on himself to make it happen.<\/p>\n

Sandberg also bemoaned the lack of commentary tracks in many releases these days, complaining that he is often told “people don’t listen to them” by those in charge. He also admitted that he knew many people were disappointed that the commentary track for\u00a0Shazam!\u00a0<\/em>was released as an iTunes digital exclusive, and not as part of a physical release. The director mentioned he had been considering a behind the scenes podcast as a sort of alternative to a traditional commentary track, admitting:\u00a0“With commentary tracks I sometimes want to say more about a scene but then it’s suddenly a new scene.”<\/p>\n
