I’ve been rather surprised at the amount of Oscar nominated films that will be hitting DVD in the next few weeks, giving the mass public a chance to take in the movies before the Oscar ceremony. This kind of approach may not help movies win Oscars, but it will make the ceremony potentially more interesting to more people. After all, it’s hard to get excited about a ceremony for movies nobody has seen.
Unfortunately, one of the big contenders this year, nominated for eight awards, won’t be taking that approach. While No Country For Old Men will be coming to DVD and Blu-ray soon, its March 11th release date won’t give you the chance to see the movie before the Oscar ceremony. If I had to guess, that release date gives them the chance to replace that quote you see at the top of the artwork on the right with “Winner of X-Number of Oscars” should the movie perform well at the Academy Awards.
Right now the announced extras seem a little thin, particularly for a Blu-ray release (which appears to have the exact same bonus materials as the standard DVD). Here’s a look at what you can expect to find on this March 11th release:
| Working with the Coens: Reflections of Cast and Crew - Learn more about Joel and Ethan Coen from the perspective of their collaborators, cast and crew.The Making of No Country For Old Men - Take a journey through the Coen Brothers’ process and back to their roots as storytellers with a unique voice and vision.Diary of a Country Sheriff - Explore the relationship between the compassion of Sheriff Bell and the brutality of Anton Chigurh. |
