Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has announced the Blu-ray release of writer Paul Haggis and director/producer/composer Clint Eastwood's
Million Dollar Baby: 10th Anniversary Edition, starring Eastwood, Hillary Swank and Morgan Freeman. The acclaimed drama won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and is being re-released on Blu-ray on February 4, 2014.
Synopsis: "I don't train girls," trainer Frankie Dunn growls. But something's different about Maggie Fitzgerald, the spirited boxing hopeful who shows up daily at Dunn's gym. All she wants is a fighting chance. Clint Eastwood plays Dunn and directs, produces and composes music for this tale of heart, hope and family. Swank plays resilient Maggie, determined not to abandon her one dream. And Freeman is Scrap, gym caretaker and counterpoint to Dunn's crustiness. Grab your dreams and come out swinging.
Update: The 10th Anniversary edition release will feature a new DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track (the original
2006 Blu-ray only offered a Dolby Digital 5.1 surround track). However, there's no word yet as to whether the disc will offer a remastered video presentation. Bonus content includes:
- Commentary by Producer Albert Ruddy (NEW)
- Million Dollar Baby: On the Ropes (NEW)
- James Lipton Takes on Three
- Born to Fight
