Will Faith-based Have Blu Passion?
December 18, 2008
Fox is releasing one of its most successful movies of all time,
The Passion of the Christ, on Blu-ray on Feb. 17. Back when Fox released the title on DVD in 2004, the studio was hoping the movie would spur a late rush of DVD player adoption. With its serious religious themes,
Passion's big screen debut wound up attracting many people who normally attend church activities over mainstream entertainment.
It's understood that many of these first-time movie fans also likely bought players in order to enjoy
Passion whenever they wanted at home.
I wonder if this same core
Passion fan base will return to stores to pick up Blu-ray players now? Their DVD players are a good four years old now, and may be in need of an upgrade.
Passion's extreme imagery will also likely prove most moving in the Blu-ray format.
Passion, carrying a Jan. 21 pre-book date, is priced at $34.99. Its Blu-ray bonus features include an enhanced viewing mode with biblical footnotes and audio and music commentaries.
