Audrey Hepburn films - Centennial Collections

[kndy]

Not sure what Audrey Hepburn films are out on Blu-ray but after watching my review copies of the Centennial Collection and "the high definition remastered" (According to the sticker on the front) versions of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and "Funny Face" on DVD, I hope there plans for Paramount to have these released on Blu-ray in 2009.

I know that the previous four releases, fans who purchased them felt there was not enough included esp. no commentary but I can tell you that "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is loaded with features (up to 10) and you get the people who were in the original dance party reunited again for an interview for this collection, also Paramount and even the producer of the film makes amends with the Asian community for the yellowface depiction by Mickey Rooney by giving a featurette just for this. (The producer in the film said in the commentary that he regretted it when they filmed it then, and spoke against it and was unfortunate that they let Mickey Rooney play a Japanese person for the film, later backed by the director who feels terrible for having cast Rooney for that role and a few cast members who also have said despite loving Rooney's work, that part was just not right), another featurette was with Harry Mancini in regards to "Moon River" and they even get the whole family to talk about their father, the song and even include the daughter's home video footage singing with her father.

For "Breakfast at Tiffany's" fans, the 10 featurettes/bonus features included in the Centennial collection are just awesome and also the producer's commentary was just great to listen to.

This is one Centennial edition that deserves the Blu-ray treatment. They remastered it, they filmed new bonus featurettes for this release that despite the "remastered in high definition" sticker label on these DVD eleases, Paramount needs to give this release a true Blu-ray release.
