The Amercian Announced for Blu-ray and DVD

Disc Announcements, News

Universal Studios Home Entertainment has announced that it will release the Focus Features title The American on DVD and Blu-ray on December 28, 2010. Starring George Clooney and directed by Anton Corbijn (Control), the film is a suspense thriller that could not find an audience when it was released earlier this fall. Chalk that up to viewers who can’t sit through an intricate thriller because of ADD.

For the Blu-ray release, the film is presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen with English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1/DD 2.0 DVS2, Spanish DTS Surround 5.1 and French DTS Surround 5.1 audio and English SDH, Spanish and French Subtitles. Supplemental material shared on both the DVD and Blu-ray include director’s commentary, “Journey to Redemption” (a making-of featurette) and deleted scenes. The BD also has some interactive features like BD-Live and pocket BLU.

The DVD carries a SRP of $29.98, while the Blu-ray is priced at $39.98.
