It’s been a pretty damn good year for Blu-Ray addicts like me; Jaws got a spiffy new re-do, Yellow Submarine got it’s Blue Meanie’s out, Indiana Jones is coming out next month…and yes, Deep Blue Sea went Blu-Ray. What? It’s awesome.
Now Titanic is hitting the Blu-Ray shelves, and it looks like there’s gonna be a ton o’ stuff for you to feast your eyes on. There’s even a Blu-Ray 3D pack, for those of you out there with the 3D thang happening.
Me, I’m interested in seeing the storyboard sequences, and the painting gallery. The art direction for Titanic was simply stunning, so I’m eager to peek at the behind-the-scenes of it all.
Read on for the info on everything that’ll be included, and the press release for the launch. Er, maybe that’s a poor choice of words….
LOS ANGELES, CA – The two billion-dollar box office phenomenon and winner of 11 Academy Awards®, TITANIC, makes its highly anticipated debut on Blu-ray 2D and 3D on September 10, 2012 from Paramount Home Media Distribution. Available in high definition for the first time ever, James Cameron’s timeless and unforgettable tour de force will be presented in stunning 2D and 3D, providing a cinematic in-home experience of TITANIC like never before.
James Cameron commented, “Blu-ray extends TITANIC’s immersive 3D theatrical experience into audiences’ homes, where their living room becomes the backdrop for big spectacular environments and intense action, as well as profoundly intimate human moments, allowing generations of fans—new and old—to truly become part of the movie like never before.”
Presented in a four-disc 2D Blu-ray/DVD combo pack with Digital Copy or, for the ultimate experience in fully immersive 3D, in a four-disc Blu-ray 3D and 2D combo pack with Digital Copy, this high-definition presentation of TITANIC is a must have for film fans’ home media collections. Both sets feature more than 2 ½ hours of new bonus footage never-before-released on disc, including a fascinating in-depth exploration of the film with James Cameron, as well as documentary footage produced by National Geographic with James Cameron that brings the world’s leading RMS Titanic experts together to solve the lingering mysteries of why and how the “unsinkable” ship sank.
The sets also boast additional special features including 30 deleted scenes, over 60 behind-the-scenes featurettes, a look at the groundbreaking visual effects, over 2,000 photos, three commentaries and much, much more. TITANIC will also be available in a two-disc DVD set with deleted scenes and, for the first time ever, for digital download.
