FOX has just issued a full PRESS RELEASE on the upcoming (April 21st) release of the “X-Men Trilogy” on Blu-ray Disc. Things are very surprising here. The “X3: The Last Stand” is a re-release as you’ll see revealed below in the list of bonus materials. Each release (or film in the trilogy) will include a 3-Disc set (a total of 9 for the box set). Disc 1 of each contains the film, Disc 2 for each contains bonus materials (to be discussed further in a moment below) and Disc 3 for each contains a Digital Copy of the film(s).
FOX plans to unveil a first BD-Live effort with an EXCLUSIVE preview trailer to the upcoming “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” film as downloadable content. Each film will feature D-BOX motion code and on a separate note — pun intended — each will be available separately or in the box set (”X-Men Trilogy“) and are available for PRE-ORDER over at Amazon.com. Click on a title below for a PRE-ORDER link.
“X-Men“
“X-2: X-Men United“
“X3: The Last Stand“
“X-Men Trilogy“
(includes all three films, 9 discs toal)
For those curious at the exact details on bonus materials I’ve included the snippets from the PRESS RELEASE below for each film. Click continue reading below to view — P.S. I know this is EXTREMELY lengthy but this should excite “X-Men” fans.
