'Passion of the Christ' to Get 'Definitive' Blu-ray this February
Mel Gibson's violent depiction of the crucifixion of Christ, 'Passion' generated reams of controversy upon its original theatrical release and grossed over $600 million worldwide. Fox will issue 'The Passion of the Christ: The Definitive Edition' on Blu-ray February 17, day-and-date with a new standard DVD re-issue. Newly-produced extras boast four audio commentaries (with Gibson, technical crew, a theological track with noted religious scholars, and a scene-specific composer commentary), the "Passion Recut" featurette, a "Footnotes" feature, and all of the materials found on the previous DVD release. Tech specs will feature a BD-50 dual-layer presentation with 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 video, English DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio 5.1 Surround, and optional French and Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround dubs and subtitles. Suggested retail price for the Blu-ray has been set at $39.98. You'll find the latest specs for 'The Passion of the Christ: The Definitive Edition' linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule, where it's indexed under February 17.
