Deliverance 35th Anniversary Blu-ray

Warner Home Video has announced that they will be bringing the 1970's Burt Reynold classic 'Deliverance' to Blu-ray on September 18th. Extras include commentary with Director John Boorman, numerous featurettes, and the theatrical trailer. No specs have been announced at this time, but MSRP has been set at $28.99.

Directed by John Boorman (Excalibur, Hope and Glory) and adapted by James Dickey from his novel, Deliverance was nominated for three Academy Awards® including Best Picture and Best Director. Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty and Ronny Cox star as the four friends whose canoeing weekend turns into a horrifying test of survival. Boorman's taut direction builds the tension and fear to a raging climax, as the men travel way beyond their comfort zone and are forced to face more than they could have ever imagined. Vilmos Zsigmond's expert cinematography captures the wilderness of forest and river, while Eric Weissberg's classic musical theme, “Dueling Banjos,” provides a perfect counterpoint to the action.
