New Apocalypse Blu-ray HD DVD

Francis Ford Coppola’s iconic 1979 film Apocalypse No w has been available over the years on all the various home video formats–as has Coppola’s 2001 Apocalypse Now Redux (which added two long scenes and other stuff) and the documentary Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse (in which Eleanor Coppola, the director’s wife, shined mostly unflattering light on the extreme craziness involved in putting that film together).

Lionsgate has just released two new Blu-ray versions, a two-disc and three-disc “Full Disclosure Edition.”  Both contain both films, along with nine-plus hours of extras, including new interviews with the actors and filmmakers. The three-disk set includes Hearts of Darkness and with even more extra features such as audio commentary by Mr. and Mrs. Coppola.

The DVD package also includes a 48-page booklet containing previously unpublished behind-the-scenes photos, Coppola’s notes, letters from the set and memos to the crew.

The films are presented in the latest and fullest high definition formatted for widescreen with the same theatrical aspect ratios as the movies themselves, along with new, enhanced master audio. You can watch the trailer on YouTube .
