Jury Duty

The folks at DVDActive posted some really good DVD news recently--One of my favorite movies--and one the greatest flicks ever made is celebrating an important milestone...

The 1957 legal potboiler 12 Angry Men turns 50 years old...!



And on March 4th 2008 Fox Home Entertainment will reissue the movie on disc with all new special features.

This Sidney Lumet directed film should retail at around $19.98. The film itself will be presented in widescreen, along with English and French Mono tracks.

Extras will include a “Beyond A Reasonable Doubt: The Making Of 12 Angry Men” featurette, and an “Inside The Jury Room” featurette.

Despite the absence of an audio commentary by Lumet--I'm so there. The story was updated in 1997 as a cable TV project with a fine cast...But as solid a remake as that was--Nothing, absolutely nothing, beats the original classic starring Henry Fonda..Love the case art work. I can't wait!!

Just watched this last week and thought about how great a special edition would be since my bare bones DVD has nothing.

Great timing! Can't wait!
