Teenage Vamp-land: Twilight hits Blu-ray Disc on March 21st
The box-office smash hit, Twilight, adapted from Stephenie Meyer‘s book of the same name hits Blu-ray disc on March 21st (that’s right, a Saturday!) courtesy of Summit Entertainment. No details of the Blu-ray release have been announced yet but the 2-disc Special Edition DVD will feature an audio commentary with director Catherine Hardwicke and stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, 5 extended scenes with director introductions, 5 deleted scenes with introductions, the 7-part The Adventure Begins: The Journey from Page to Screen documentary, the Comic-Con Phenomenon featurette, 3 music videos (featuring Muse, Paramore and Linkin Park) and more TBA.
Speaking at a press conference in November, Hardwicke addressed her hopes and plans for the Blu-ray release,
“I’ve seen the sparkle scene on Blu-ray, and it looks really great. I was worried how that would translate.”
“We are looking into to going back to ILM and pushing that scene a little further for the Blu-ray disc. We have about a dozen deleted or extended scenes to put on the DVD, and I made a couple crazy montages of all the times the vampires kiss or attack someone and of all the human hijinx, and I’ve done a visual remix of the movie for the DVD also.”

Apparently, one month before the release date, Best Buy and Target are NOT going to be getting the Blu-ray edition of Twilight on March 21. The basic response is too bad for those of us who pre-ordered from them. So those of us that have blu-ray players can either purchase BOTH the dvd and Blu-ray editions OR we have to wait until May. Something just doesn’t seem right about that.
