The Future is Seen on Blu-ray When Futuristic Thriller Minority Report is Presented with Stunning High-Definition Picture & Sound all Supervised by Director Steven Spielberg
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA 4.06.10 – Washington, D.C., in the year 2054, murder has been eliminated. The future is seen and the guilty punished before the crime has ever been committed. The distinctive near future world – the world of sci-fi thriller Minority Report – arrives on Blu-ray Disc (BD) August 25, 2010, from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. This new high-definition version of the film was personally supervised and approved by acclaimed director Steven Spielberg.
Action-packed Minority Report is based on the short story “The Minority Report” by legendary author Philip K. Dick. Led by Tom Cruise as a detective who must race to uncover the truth before he becomes a victim to the system he helped create, the cast features a diverse and accomplished ensemble of actors, including Colin Farrell (Crazy Heart, In Burges); Samantha Morton (Elizabeth: The Golden Age, The Messenger); and Max von Sydow (Shutter Island). From a nexus deep within the Justice Department’s elite Pre-Crime unit, all the evidence to convict – from imagery alluding to the time, place and other details – is seen by “Pre-Cogs,” three psychic beings whose visions of murder have never been wrong.
This all-new Minority Report Blu-ray edition is complete with exciting extras that take you right into the action! With Steve Spielberg as the guide and host, interact with “The Future According to Steve Spielberg: An Interactive Guide to Minority Report.” This special feature takes the BD viewer on a completely interconnected tour of the making of the film. From storyboards and production art to animation tests, and behind-the-scenes footage – all access available at the touch of a menu selection. Additional Blu-ray special features offer an insider’s look into Minority Report with featurettes exploring the world of pre-crime; props of the future; commercials of the future; and how the film’s “future” has been realized nearly 10 years after production. Further features include highlights from the set that explore a selection of the key sequences and pre-visualization techniques.
