New Line Announces The Orphanage for Blu-ray

New Line Home Entertainment has announced that they will bring the Guillermo Del Toro produced film 'The Orphanage' to Blu-ray on April 22nd, day-and-date with the DVD release. No specs have been announced for the title, but it will be presented in Spanish with English subtitles (similar to how 'Pan's Labyrinth', a film directed by Del Toro, was released). The only extras announced thus far will be behind the scenes featurettes. The Orphanage, presented by Oscar-Nominee Guillermo del Toro, centers on a Laura (Belén Rueda from The Sea Inside) who purchases her beloved childhood orphanage with dreams of restoring and reopening the long abandoned facility as a place for disabled children. Once there, Laura discovers that the new environment awakens her son's imagination, but the ongoing fantasy games he plays with an invisible friend quickly turn into something more disturbing. Upon seeing her family increasingly threatened by the strange occurrences in the house, Laura looks to a group of parapsychologists for help in unraveling the mystery that has taken over the place.

Too bad the movie is in "Spain Spanish" and is hard to understand compared to the Spanish spoken here in America. Especially with all those long ass Rs.

Its a little odd, because when I first saw the retail ad, I didn't notice that it was coming to Blu-ray. Then, when I saw the "Just Announced" list, and noticed this titles was coming to Blu-ray, I had to go back and re-read the ad. In small print it says "Also coming to Blu-ray". Funny how different studios are pushing hi-def. I guess they don't see this title doing too well with the typical HD buyer.
