Quote:

For the first time on Blu-ray, an unfinished novel, a stolen car, a murdered pet, and a failing marriage are just a few of the crises piling up like a logjam in this often hilarious story of bright promise gone awry. During a single hectic weekend, college professor Grady Tripp (Michael Douglas) scrambles to gather together a life that has suddenly reeled out of control. Along for the ride are his gifted but troubled student (Toby Maguire, Cider House Rules), his eccentric editor (Robert Downey, Jr.), the married chancellor of his university (Frances McDormand, Fargo) who is pregnant with his child and his sultry student boarder (Katie Holmes, Dawson's Creek). Directed by Curtis Hanson (L.A. CONFIDENTIAL), this darkly comedic odyssey of self-discovery was hailed by Roger Ebert as one of the best movies of the year. SPECIAL FEATURES include cast and crew interviews, an interactive location map with commentary by Curtis Hanson, Songs of Wonder Boys with commentary by Curtis Hanson, and the music video for the Oscar-winning original song THINGS HAVE CHANGED by Bob Dylan.

Great news if accurate. Been waiting awhile for a Blu release.

Sweet. Hope it's not a BD-R

dudeabides34 · 10-15-2020, 09:35 PM

Buried treasure. Wonderful film

This is one of my favorite films. It would be nice to retire my dvd.

Apparently Paramount has this great idea (and I mean it) where they sell BD-R versions on Amazon BUT factory-pressed on Deep Discount.

If that’s the case here, then I’m fine with that.

Seems to be BD-R on Amazon, and pressed discs everywhere else, including Best Buy, Deep Discount & Bullmoose.

I guess that's why a lot of these titles end up on Amazon Warehouse, as they get a lot of returns when consumers realize they're burnt discs.

Day one (if pressed)! Great film.

Tone blare · 10-15-2020, 11:10 PM

Day 1 if it's pressed, grilled or oven baked. I've been waiting forever for this.

Everyone looks so much younger on this artwork than they are now...I feel old.

Very good film that took way too long to be released in the format. Better late than never, tho.

MTRodaba2468 · 10-16-2020, 01:02 AM

Day 1. Such an underrated film.

I was harboring the same hope, at least a bit - could have had some terrific extras. But it’s got a few, and at this point, I’m just happy to see it make it out.

I remember Michael Douglas poking fun at the way he looks on the poster: “I looked somewhere close to Alfred E. Neuman in drag.”

I rented this once on DVD from Blockbuster back in the day and don't remember a thing about it. I want to check it out again for the cast. Late 90s, early 2000s Katie Holmes and Tobey Maguire were two of my favorite actors.

MassiveMovieBuff · 10-16-2020, 03:13 AM

Have always wanted to see this. I'm a major Michael Douglas fan but just never got around to seeing this for some reason. Will most likely blind buy this.

growsinwater · 10-16-2020, 03:22 AM

OMG I've been waiting for this one for what seems like forever, I love this film.

Douglas is fantastic in this. Such a different role for him and you can tell he really relished paying Grady.

danny24 · 10-16-2020, 04:33 AM

Oh wow, for me this is day 1 and it's about time this is getting a Blu-ray release.
