Warner Home Video has outlined final specs for 'Falling Down,' which will hit Blu-ray this May with less-than-explosive bonus features and DigiBook packaging.

As previously reported, the studio had set a May 26 Blu-ray date for the Michael Douglas-on-a-rampage cult favorite, though the announcement stopped short of providing any specs.

Details are now in, with the Joel Schumacher-directed film receiving 1080p/VC-1 video and English Dolby TrueHD 5.1 Surround audio.

Extras are relatively sparce, featuring audio commentary with Douglas and Schumacher, and the featurette "Deconstructing D-FENS: A Conversation with Michael Douglas."

Packaged as a DigiBook, the release will also contain a 30-page collectible booklet with production notes, rare photos and a "D-FENS" essay.

Suggested retail price for the Blu-ray has been set at $34.95.

You'll find the latest specs for 'Falling Down' linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule, where it's indexed under May 26.

The studio has yet to issue any tech or supplement details for 'Being There,' though we're told to expect a DigiBook release with newly-remastered video and audio and all-new bonus content. As always, watch this space for confirmed details when they come to us.
