Lionsgate has revealed final specs for 'W.,' which will come to Blu-ray next year with a presidential suite's worth of bonus materials.
As previously reported, Lionsgate had alerted retailers to a February Blu-ray bow for Oliver Stone's controversial biopic of exiting president George W. Bush, day-and-date with the standard DVD.
Newly confirmed specs will see a BD-50 dual-layer presentation in 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 video and DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio 5.1 Surround.
Extras will feature an audio commentary by Stone, a pair of featurettes ("Dangerous Dynasty: The Bush Presidency," "No Stranger to Controversy: Oliver Stone's George W. Bush") and deleted scenes.
Finally, Lionsgate has issued final box art for 'W.':
As previously announced, suggested retail price for the Blu-ray is $39.95.
