Here’s a Sneak Peak at next week’s 2012 Blu-ray Release

One of my favorite movies from last year, 2012, is coming to Blu-ray next week. This is a big, dumb, but fun Sci-Fi flick from the man who brought us Independence Day. Director Roland Emmerich is a technical director, so I fully expect this to be a showcase Blu-ray release. The Blu-ray will include something called “Roland’s Vision: Picture-in-Picture” and the BD-Live™ enabled movieIQ, which allows viewers to immediately access updated trivia on the film’s cast, crew, production and soundtrack – all while watching the movie.

Also, only available on the 2-Disc Blu-ray is the “Interactive Mayan Calendar” feature, along with the production featurettes “Mysteries of the Mayan Calendar,” “Designing the End of the World,” “Science Behind the Destruction,” “The End of the World: The Actor’s Perspective,” “Countdown to the Future” and Making the Music Video “Time For Miracles” with Adam Lambert. The 2-Disc Blu-ray also includes a Digital Copy for PSP, PC, Mac & iPod. Check out some clips after the break.
