Remember when the DVD of "Brokeback Mountain" came out last spring and how underwhelmed we all were by the lack of extras? Well, welcome to Hollywood! That bare-bones disc was just an appetizer for a two-disc "Special Collector’s Edition" of the landmark film to be released Jan. 23., Universal Studios Home Entertainment said Wednesday.

Among the new bonus features
- "A Groundbreaking Success" – In a new original documentary, Brokeback Mountain’s producers and cast talk about bringing this unusual story to the screen on their terms. The film also examines the phenomenal attention garnered by the movie, including the numerous parodies that the story inspired.

- "Music From the Mountain" – Composer Gustavo Santaolalla, who won an Oscar® for Brokeback Mountain’s emotional score, takes viewers into the sounds of the movie’s unforgettable music. Includes interviews with each of the featured artists, and a trip to the studio with the legendary Willie Nelson as he records his touching version of Bob Dylan’s "He Was a Friend of Mine."

- "On Being A Cowboy" – Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal discuss their preparations for the film, including rodeo and wrangling training. Exclusive on-set interviews with the film’s stunt coordinator are also featured.

- "{Directing From the Heart: Ang Lee" – Oscar-winning director Ang Lee is profiled in this intimate behind-the-scenes look at how he led the filmmaking team in bringing the absorbing story of Brokeback Mountain to life.

- "From Script to Screen: Interviews with Larry McMurtry & Diana Ossana" – The writers discuss bringing Pulitzer Prize-winning author Annie Proulx’s visionary short story to the screen.
