Fri Feb 29, 2008 at 01:00 PM ETTags: Disc Announcements, Image Entertainment (all tags)
Image Entertainment has confirmed a May Blu-ray release for the 1985 cult classic 'Short Circuit.'
Starring Steve Guttenberg, Ally Sheedy, and "Number Five" the robot, 'Short Circuit' was the sleeper hit of 1985, grossing over $50 million at the US box office (and eventually spawning a less popular sequel).
As first reported by our pal Dave Lambert at TV Guide, Image Entertainment will give Number Five his first-ever high-def release on May 20, when 'Short Circuit' hits Blu-ray.
Extras announced for the Blu-ray include an audio commentary with director John Badham and screenwriters S.S. Wilson and Brent Maddock, plus isolated music and effects.
Tech specs feature 1080p video, and DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio 5.1 Surround audio.
Image has set a suggested list price of $19.95 for the Blu-ray.
