Digging deep into their back catalog, Lionsgate Home Entertainment
will bring the indie cult comedy 'Waiting...'
to Blu-ray this summer.
Though the little-seen comedy registered barely a blip at the box office during
its brief 2005 theatrical run, its all-star cast of rising stars -- including
Ryan Reynolds, Justin Long, Anna Faris and Dane Cook -- has helped earn it a
small but devoted cult following.
Lionsgate will bring the film to Blu-ray on July 17 with some impressive tech
specs. The disc will include a new 1080p transfer, plus an uncompressed PCM
track in 7.1 surround -- still a rarity for both next-gen formats.
Supplemental details have yet to be announced, though preliminary info from
the studio indicates a BD-50 dual-layer release, suggesting a healthy package
of extras.
Lionsgate has set a $29.95 list price for the release.
We've added the latest specs for 'Waiting...' to our Blu-ray
Release Schedule, under July 17. Stay tuned for complete details, including
box cover art, in the days ahead.
