Just in time for the 40th anniversary of Earth Day this Thursday comes James Cameron’s record-breaking moneymaker and Best Picture nominee, a little movie called Avatar that knocked their socks off at theaters. Interestingly, in an effort to coincide with Earth Day, Fox pushed to get this 2D DVD/BD ready in time for this month’s release at the sake of additional special features. This version is ONLY the feature film, which filmmakers say ensures the audio/visual elements will be pristine. A 4-disc special edition planned for November will include a making-of doc, deleted scenes and more, as well as possibly a 3D conversion Blu-ray. Still, if you didn’t want to pay for 3D in theaters or you only saw it once, this is a great option to hold you over until fall.
Crazy Heart Jeff Bridges won Best Actor for his role as a boozy, broken country music singer who has lived hard and fast, but thanks to an encounter with a journalist sets on the road to redemption. Watch Jeff Bridges and Maggie Gyllenhaal talk about making the film in this exclusive clip. Extras: 6 deleted scenes/alternate music cuts (DVD); 10 deleted scenes/alternate music cuts, commentary by the actors and digital copy (BD)
