Standard Operating Procedure

Good news everyone! It looks like Sony Entertainment has decided to bring Errol Morris’ latest doc, Standard Operating Procedure, to their majestic Blu Ray format this October! It’s great to see some docs getting the hi def treatment. (Some of you may have picked up Helvetica on Blu Ray this past spring) I haven’t even seen this film yet, so I’m excited to get the HD treatment. Another cool thing; the BD release will include some HD exclusive bonus features. Here’s a run down of the details thanks to High Def Digest:

Extras shared between both versions include audio commentary with Morris, plus nine deleted scenes. Exclusive to the Blu-ray are nearly two hours of additional interviews, a Los Angeles Premiere Q&A with Morris, and two Berlin Press Conference panels held with the filmmakers. Tech specs for the Blu-ray feature a BD-50 dual-layer presentation with 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 video and Dolby TrueHD 5.1 Surround audio.

Those are some wonderful tech specs. I’m excited for the commentary track and Q&A sessions. Watch for Standard Operating Procedure on Blu Ray this October 14th.

    I thought his last film was a narrative? I don’t know, I read about it somewhere. I guess I might be wrong. Anyway I just saw Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control. A slight shift from his usual format and style but nonetheless amazing! Just more proof that he is a creative genius.

    His last film was Fog of War, which won the best documentary Oscar.
