WIN: APOCALYPSE NOW On Blu-ray, We Have 3 Copies To Give Away
I love the smell of a great Blu-ray comp in the morning.... Obsessed With Film have teamed up with Optimum Releasing to give away 3 Blu-ray copies of the exciting 3-Disc Apocalypse Now Special Edition Blu-ray which includes Heart of Darkness and is released June 13th to our lucky OWF readers. Francis Ford Coppola's classic is also remastered and back in theatres on May 27th and you would be crazy to miss it. Martin Sheen (TVs The West Wing) stars as Army Captain Willard, a troubled man sent on a dangerous top-secret mission into Cambodia to assassinate a rogue Green Beret, Col. Kurtz (Marlon Brando, The Godfather, On the Waterfront, Last Tango in Paris), who has barricaded himself in a remote outpost. As Willard ventures deeper and deeper into the wilderness of the jungle, he embarks on a strange journey that leads him to Kurtz but also forces him to come face to face with the terrifying vision of the heart of darkness in us all. With an all-star critically acclaimed cast that also includes Robert Duvall (The Road, Crazy Heart, The Godfather Pt I & II), Dennis Hopper (Easy Rider, Blue Velvet), Harrison Ford (The Indiana Jones series) and Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix Trilogy), APOCALYPSE NOW so impressed the Cannes jury when shown as only a work in progress that it won the Palme DOr that year (tied with Tin Drum). Vittorio Storaros stunning cinematography and masterful sound editing from the genius Walter Murch won the film deserved Oscars and were just two of many awards the film has won over the years. This highly anticipated Blu-ray Disc premieres in 1080P High Definition Widescreen in a 3-Disc Full Disclosure Edition. Also for the first time, these movies will be presented for home entertainment audiences in their original theatrical aspect ratios (2.35:1).
