Lionsgate Home Entertainment has officially announced that it will release on Blu-ray H2's epic new miniseries
Big History. Narrated by acclaimed actor Bryan Cranston (AMC's
Breaking Bad), the release will be available for purchase on March 11th.
Based on inventor and philanthropist Bill Gates and historian David Christian's
The Big History Project.
The Big History collection turns history on its head, breaks down the walls between history and science, and tells the story of the universe from the Big Bang through today. Crisscrossing through time and space, each episode reveals the transformative relationships between science and history that you never knew existed. Did you know that we carry the legacy of the Titanic, and even the Big Bang, in our pockets every day in the form of a cell phone? We'll explore 13.7 billion years of history with bizarre questions like: What is the connection between Egyptian mummies and today's ham and cheese sandwich? Was the American Revolution driven in part by a biological thirst for caffeine? And why does nearly every ancient civilization build massive structures in the shape of a pyramid?
