File it under the category of just plain weird, but while much bigger names continue to sit out the high-definition craze movie fans will get a new Blu-Ray version of Short Circuit. Yes, that classic 80s comedy starring Steve Guttenberg, Ally Sheedy and Johnnie Five himself. Even more bizarre is that the disc will feature some nice specs and features. It will receive a 1080p transfer along with DTS-HD 5.1 sound. That’s probably more than any fan should hope for, but they’ll also get two commentary tracks to go with the film. One will feature director John Badham and screenwriters S.S. Wilson and Brent Maddock. The other is apparently a music and effects track. Make of that what you will. Release date is May 20, which gives it a full month to help build buzz for Pixar’s Wall-e.

That’s great!! Short Circuit was one of my favortit movies (I even think part 2 was pretty good). This might be reason enough to buy a Blu-Ray player!
