A Room With a View Revealed for Blu-ray

BBC (through Warner Brothers Home Entertainment) has revealed that they will be releasing the Oscar-winning film 'A Room With a View' for Blu-ray on October 2nd. The film will be presented with a VC-1 encode and accompanying Dolby Digital surround sound track. No extras have been announced at this time, but being that this is a "Special Edition", expect those similar to the DVD.

Nominated for eight Oscars in 1986, including Best Picture, and winner of three (Costumes, Art Direction and Adapted Screenplay), A Room with a View is the film that defined Merchant-Ivory as the masters of the romantic period piece. A brilliant adaptation of E.M. Forster's novel, A Room with a View tells the story of the coming of age of Lucy Honeychurch (Helena Bonham-Carter). Longing to burst free from the repression of British upper class manners and mores, she must wrestle with her inner romantic longings to choose between the passionate George (Julian Sands) and the priggish but socially suitable Cecil (Daniel Day-Lewis). Boasting a brilliant supporting cast, A Room with a View is one of the most romantic of romantic comedies ever filmed.
