By Brenden ⋅ April 10, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Tron: Legacy, the long awaited sequel to the original 1982 film, was released on Blu-ray this past week in a variety of configurations. I had a chance to screen the 5-Disc combo pack which includes the new film on 3D and 2D Blu-ray discs, along with DVD and Digital Copy versions. The Combo Pack also includes a Blu-ray of Tron: The Original Classic (as it’s now dubbed) in all its restored glory. This is an extraordinary release that falls just shy of being a fan’s dream come true. …Continued…

I think it’s the most unique, best special feature to come to home video in ages. The upcoming Tron: Legacy Blu-ray will be the second Disney disc to include the Second Screen feature. Check out a quick demo in the preview video above. Tron: Legacy and Tron: The Original Classic arrive in stores on April 5th. …Continued…

Paramount Pictures has announced that it will bring the Coen brothers’ adaptation of True Grit to Blu-ray this coming June 7th, packed to the gills with all sorts of goodies ranging from featurettes on period weapons and costumes to an exclusive look at the photography of the film.
