The Tree of Life Blu-ray announced and detailed

By Brenden ⋅ September 6, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life has finally been officially announced for release on Blu-ray. As I reported a few weeks ago, eOne has got the Canadian release while the US version will come from Fox. The Canadian pre-order ship date listed on Amazon.ca has been pushed back a couple of weeks from the previously published September 27th to October 11th, to match the US. The Blu-ray is fairly bare-bones, including only a 30-minute “making of” doc but is reported to utilize “maximum bit rate encoding and 7.1 audio and a 2.0 stereo mix to bring Malick’s visually stunning masterpiece to life providing consumers with a premium cinematic viewing experience for the home.” Sounds good to me! I can’t wait to get my hands on this one. …Continued…

I haven’t been sent a press release for this yet but I noticed a few days ago that Amazon.ca has a preorder for the September 27th release of The Tree of Life on Blu-ray from eOne Films. This is huge news as there hasn’t been a hint of any sort of home video release for the title as yet. Even still, I’m not sure where the film will end up in the US – will it be a Fox release or will Criterion license the film so that it might live beside the other Terrence Malick releases in their library? Only time will tell. …Continued…
