Warner Home Video has announced that they will bring a newly restored and remastered version of the 1962 film '
How the West Was Won' for Blu-ray on August 26th, day-and-date with the DVD release. The film is only one of only two narrative feature films produced in the original Cinerama three-panel widescreen process.
The film will get the "Ultimate" treatment, featuring a 20-page theatrical press book reproduction, 10 behind-the-scenes photo cards and 10 postcards, and an exclusive movie poster offer.
The Blu-ray wil be released as a "coffee book" edition which will include a 32-page book with rare press material and behind-the-scenes photos. Also exclusive to Blu-ray is the “SmileBox” version of the film which presents the image with a unique curvature that virtually recreates the true Cinerama experience in a home theater.
