Posted July 21, 2008 12:37 PM by Josh Dreuth
Warner Home Video has revealed that they will bring the 1951 Mervyn LeRoy religious epic film 'Quo Vadis' to Blu-ray during Spring 2009. The film, which featured a cast list that numbers in the tens of thousands and was filmed on location in Rome, has gone through a special photochemical restoration in order to present the film in a way not seen since its original release over fifty years ago.
No technical specs or special features have been announced at this time, but you can expect that this Blu-ray will at least receive all the extras from the two-disc DVD release (November 11th, 2008). These extras include a documentary tracing the roots of the film from its start as a bestseller, and a commentary by filmmaker/writer F.X. Feeney on the details of the lavish and complicated production.
