The Nutty Professor Blu-ray Pre-order

As part of its 100th Anniversary this year, Universal Studios Home Entertainment will offer special re-issues of selected catalog titles, and the Nutty Professor Blu-ray will arrive in the March wave. This 1996 remake of the Jerry Lewis comedy stars Eddie Murphy (Dreamgirls) as Professor Sherman Klump, a brilliant-but-obese scientist who invents a serum that can turn him into the ultra-crude, ultra-svelte Buddy Love (Murphy, again).

Film makeup extraordinaire Rick Baker (An American Werewolf in London) won an Academy Award for his work here, which helped transform Murphy into seven different characters, including four members of Klump's own on-screen family.

Universal's Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack presents the film in its 1.85:1 original aspect ratio with a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track. The disc also contains the following supplements:
Two 100 Years of Universal featurettes:
- The Lew Wasserman Era
- Unforgettable Characters
The Nutty Professor streets on March 6th.
