Blu-ray, Meet 'The Queen'

Boasting an Oscar-winning performance by Dame Helen Mirren, 'The Queen' will see a speedy post-awards Blu-ray release when Buena Vista Home Entertainment debuts the film day-and-date with the standard-def DVD on April 24.

Though not exactly getting the blu-carpet treatment, Buena Vista will gift 'The Queen' with a 1.85:1 widescreen/1080p transfer and uncompressed PCM surround track (at a full 48 kHz/24-bit).

Extras include an audio commentary from director Stephen Frears, a making-of featurette, and the film's theatrical trailer.

The disc will retail for a royal $34.95 suggested list.
