Blood Diamond HD DVD plus Web features
April 18, 2007

 
As Warner calls it: "A bloody jewel in high-def!" LOL

Warner has given Leonardo di Caprio starrer Blood Diamond the honor of being its first high-def title with Web-enabled features. The HD DVD version arrives on July 3 (prebook May 1) with the ability for viewers to use their players to participate in the studio's online polls and view bonus features such as maps of conflict in war-torn areas of Africa.

The HD DVD disc also will have the usual In-Movie Experience, letting users see extras such as interviews and featurettes while the movie is running. And Warner is bowing a new type of feature -- Focus Points, which takes users to more featurettes and production diaries. Not sure how that's different than IME, but IME apparently "allows viewers to embark on an epic journey with director Edward Zwick, charting the emotional and filmmaking challenges of Blood Diamond." Either way, we look forward to the new features.

Blood Diamond also will be released on Blu-ray on June 5 (prebook May 1) but without the Web features.

Both formats will be priced at $28.99, and they also offer commentary by Zwick, a music video and featurettes a plenty.

Such critiques can obscure essential truths. No fictional rendering of reality can encompass the messiness of real life. Dramatic contrivances designed to attract broad audiences are necessary in a commercial release. The technology of those inter related people show their enmity in many aspects by killing, blasting, revenge etc that that destroys the tradition. Even though they are imitation of the actual happening they are the truths that are brought to the audience in a very obvious and casual manner. This give hands off to the audience and one thing that should be noticed is that those tribal try to inculcate the blood revenge in the mind of small children
