The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (Francis Lawrence)

[McCrutchy]

Kadokawa will release Francis Lawrence's The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013), on Blu-ray in Japan on April 18th.

There will be two editions. One, the standard edition, will have two BD-50 discs, one for the film in scope ratio, and the other for extra features.

The other version, called a Premium Edition, will contain three BD-50 discs and two DVDs. The first BD will have the film in scope ratio, the second will have the film in its IMAX version, and the third will have extra features. The DVDs are a copy of the film, and a bonus DVD-5 disc of Japanese language extras.

According to Kadokawa's web site listing, the extras are as follows:

The third BD in the set (Disc 4) corresponds to all of the extras from the JB HiFi exclusive Australian version.

What is unclear is whether the BD with the IMAX version has shifting aspect ratios, or if it simply presents the entire film at 1.78:1. I would assume the former, but I suppose you never know. The listing does not appear to mention the number of minutes of footage in IMAX.
