Warner Home Video Releases “Deliverance” Premium Blu-Ray Book Packaging and 42-Page Commemorative Book on June 26 in Celebration of the Film’s 40th Anniversary
(March 12, 2012 – Burbank, CA) – “Deliverance,” the 1972 Oscar-nominated film considered one of the screen’s most powerful man vs. nature adventures, celebrates its 40th Anniversary June 26 with a Blu-ray Book from Warner Home Video.
Jon Voight (“Transformers, Mission: Impossible”), Burt Reynolds (“The Longest Yard, Boogie Nights”) starred; Ned Beatty (“Rampart,” “Rango”) and Ronny Cox (“Starter Wife,” “Desperate Housewives”) co-starred, with John Boorman directing from a screenplay which James Dickey adapted from his novel. The film was nominated for three Academy Awards (1972) including Best Picture, Directing and Film Editing.
“Deliverance” will now be offered in premium Blu-ray book packaging, including a new featurette and a 42-page commemorative book with behind-the-scenes photos and rare insights. The Blu-ray Book will be available for $34.99 SRP. Order due date is May 22.
The story of four “weekend warriors” who set off in canoes down a dangerous Georgia river and discover a wilderness of terror and survival, “Deliverance” builds the tension and fear to a raging climax, as the men travel way beyond their comfort zone and are forced to face more than they could have ever imagined. Vilmos Zsigmond’s expert cinematography captures the wilderness of forest and river.
