Producer J.J. Abrams’s monster hit Cloverfield will also be available in high definition. Cloverfield grossed more than US$166 million worldwide and impressed critics and audiences alike with its shocking handheld-camera imagery. The Cloverfield Blu-ray Disc includes an exclusive “Special Investigation Mode” extra that gives buyers further details about the film. It also contains additional bonus material such as “Director’s Audio Commentary,” “The Making of Cloverfield,” “Deleted Scenes” and “Alternate Endings with Commentary.”
September will also bring Blu-ray Disc reissues of titles from Paramount’s back catalogue, including Black Rain, World Trade Center and The Manchurian Candidate.
