Great news from Fox! The Diary of Anne Frank (50th Anniversary Edition) has been officially announced with a June 16th release date. While expected for some time, what wasn't expected was the simultaneous release of the Blu-Ray version on the same day!
Although not verified, it is expected that each will be released on a single disc. Bonus features are virtually all new, with some exclusive to the BD version. Also, below is a comparison of bonus features on the upcoming releases to the 2004 release.
SYNOPSIS:
With compelling performances from an all-star cast, including Shelley Winters, Ed Wynn, Richard Beymer and Lou Jacobi, The Diary of Anne Frank is as gripping and heart-wrenching now as it was during its initial release! In honor of the film’s 50th Anniversary, this Special Edition DVD offers an unprecedented look at the making of the film with an audio commentary, seven exclusive featurettes, photo galleries and more!
Following the Nazi invasion of Amsterdam, 13-year-old Anne and her family go into hiding in the confines of an attic. Anne’s remarkable account of their lives, their growing fear of discovery, their deplorable living conditions and even the blooming of her first love are intimately portrayed in this extraordinary portrait of humanity. Nominated for eight 1959 Oscars and winning three, The Diary of Anne Frank remains one of cinema’s most astounding and enduring treasures.
