The Hoax comes to Blu-ray

Miramax (via Buena Vista) has announced that they will bring the Richard Gere film 'The Hoax' to Blu-ray on October 16th, day-and-date with the DVD. The film will be presented in 1.85:1 1080p video with accompanying PCM 5.1 audio. Extras include two featurettes, a commentary with the film's producers, and some deleted and extended scenes, same as the DVD.

In the early 1970s, author Clifford Irving (Richard Gere), with accomplice Richard Suskind (Alfred Molina), attempts to pull off one of the greatest media scams of the century. He writes a fake biography of reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes, claiming that Hughes commissioned it, and sells the book to publishing giant McGraw-Hill. Based on a true story.
