The dual-layer disc promises to deliver the interactivity and extras that backers of the next-generation, high-definition optical-disc format had been promising since the first movies were released in the format in June. Sony made the announcement Friday at the High Def 101 Conference in Los Angeles.
“Click” is one of three 50GB Blu-ray discs in the studio’s pipeline. The others are Ridley Scott’s “Black Hawk Down,” coming Nov. 14, and “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby,” due Dec. 12.”
