Big box on `The Sopranos'

NEW YORK —

A a 30-disc box set with every episode of the HBO series "The Sopranos" weighs in at nearly 10 pounds.


It'll go on sale Nov. 11 with a list price of $399.99, HBO Video said Monday.


Besides seven seasons worth of episodes, the set has two bonus DVDs that include an interview with creator David Chase by Alec Baldwin. The set will have two "Supper with the Sopranos" features, sit-down dinners (food not included) with Chase and various actors discussing their favorite scenes, auditions and other aspects of the show.


Chase also discusses how the show was cast and the evolution of the characters. He includes three music soundtrack CDs that he curated and were previously released, and 16 scenes that were filmed but never made it on the air. The set includes a recording of a New York seminar on cast members who were whacked and various spoofs on other TV outlets.


Four hundred dollars won't buy you Tony Soprano, however. James Gandolfini didn't participate in any of the "extras."

Stone Dropped From Chinese Film

Latest: Sharon Stone has reportedly been dropped from the cast of new movie Mermaid Island following her controversial comments about the country's recent earthquake. The Hollywood actress stunned journalists at the Cannes International Film Festival in France last month when she suggested the disaster, which left more than 67,000 people dead, was down to "karma" - linking the tragedy to China's treatment of Tibetans. Officials in the country had threatened to ban her films, with French fashion house Christian Dior also dropping her from advertising campaigns in the nation. And now her comments have cost her a major movie role. Stone was due to star alongside Monica Bellucci in the forthcoming U.S.-Chinese production which is to be helmed by Catwoman director Pitof. But now according to Moviehole.net, Stone has been dropped by producers and the role is set to be re-cast. Stone has since re-issued an apology for her remarks, insisting her "words were never meant to be hurtful to anyone, they were an accident of my distraction and a product of news sensationalism."
