Warner Bros. has announced a Blu-ray release of Christopher Nolan’s 2002 film Insomnia. The film, starring Al Pacino, Robin Williams, and Hilary Swank, is a remake of the 1997 Norwegian film of the same name. The release is set for July 13th, three days before the release of Nolan’s upcoming film Inception. As an incentive to pick up Insomnia, the BD will include ‘movie money’ ($7.50 value) that can be used for an Inception ticket.
Special features for the BD include two commentaries, one with Christopher Nolan and another with Wally Pfister, Hilary Swank, Editor Dody Dorn, Screenwriter Hillary Seitz, and Production Designer Nathan Crowley, as well as four featurettes (“Day for Night: Making the Movie”, “180°: A Conversation with Christopher Nolan and Al Pacino”, “In the Fog: Cinemtography and Production Design”, “Eyes Wide Open: The Insomniac’s World”), the theatrical trailer, an additional scene, and a still gallery. Insomnia’s release on blu-ray will mark the fifth of Nolan’s films to be released on the format. The only title awaiting a release is his 1998 film Following, although it may see Criterion release in the near future.
