IPC Media unveils Uncut DVD magazine

by Media Week, Media Week 11-Oct-05

IPC Media is launching Uncut DVD, a new quarterly magazine dedicated to movies, that will add to its existing music and film monthly, Uncut.

The first issue goes on sale on 12 October, with 148 pages, priced £3.99.

The new magazine will contain reviews, interviews and behind-the-scenes features on films, with details of new films, TV series and music content released to DVD.

It will also have a strong focus on iconic cinema from the past, which is being released on DVD digital format.

The launch edition contains features on Clint Eastwood, Steve McQueen's The Getaway and '70's cop show The Sweeney.

Andrew Sumner, publishing director of Uncut, commented: "Empire and Total Film are both successful business models for mainstream cinema, but if you are a film classicist, there is nothing there for you."

He added that increasing the frequency of the magazine from quarterly would be "something we will look at".

Advertising will target DVD catalogues, retailers and film studios.
