Warner Home Video has announced that they will bring '
Casablanca: Ultimate Collector's Edition' to Blu-ray on December 2nd, day-and-date with the DVD re-release. No technical specs for this two-disc set have been announced at this time, so it is unknown if this title will get a boost over its previous HD DVD release.
The discs will come in a specially prepared box that features an intricate laser-cut Moroccan design. Inside the box will include collectibles such as reproductions of executive memos and props, a branded passport holder, luggage tag, photo book and mail-in offer for a movie poster.
