Warner Brothers has announced that starting with the March 25 release of Boonie and Clyde, some Blu-ray disc releases will get the book special edition treatment. Wait, a book? That’s right, Warner will be releasing special editions enclosed inside of books. The books themselves will contain production art, photographs and more. Other titles announced in this new series include Dirty Harry, Woodstock, Gone with the Wind and North by Northwest.
It’s great to see Warner trying something new with DVD packaging that actually adds some value to the film experience. Compare this with collectible tins, which usually only end up getting in the way, and you have what may be the start of a nice new trend. Still, there’s a big question mark over these releases and whether the included content will be worth the extra cash they are sure to cost.
