Boondock Saints gets Blu-ray release date, can you say Veritas Aequitas?

by Darren Murph, posted Oct 11th 2008 at 1:26AM

It's not often that we get jazzed enough to leap from our seats about a particular Blu-ray release, but we're brimming with excitement over this one. The 1999 cult classic Boondock Saints will be arriving well before Saint Patty's Day 2009 in high-def, as Fox Home Entertainment has selected January 13th as the launch date for the Blu-ray edition. As for extras, you can look forward to a feature audio commentary by writer / director Troy Duffy, another by Billy Connolly, deleted scenes, outtakes, case and crew filmographies and a printable script. The film itself will be presented in a 1080p / AVC MPEG-4 transfer on a BD-50, and as for audio, it'll have a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 lossless track. MSRP is set at $34.95 -- liberating, isn't it?

One of my favorite movies, I must have watched this 3 dozen times, but I have to ask...

Is the video and Audio quality of the original good enough to take advantage of 1080p and HD Master Audio? I guess it can't hurt.

Along with a handful of others (and some outstanding music vids) this'll be one of the reasons I went Blu.

Pity the choice of genuine quality classic is so limited.

But they are getting out Shawshank and The Godfather trilogy so I guess I have to forgive them everything, it's almost worth it for them alone.

That's surprising, especially after Troy Duffy has been blacklisted from Hollywood.

Good on him, I suppose, for at least getting this done.

I recommend everyone see the documentary 'Overnight'. Which is about Troy Duffy's rise and fall in Hollywood. It really makes you dislike this movie a lot, he was a real tool.
