Paramount Home Entertainment has finally announced a June 16th date for their Blu-ray release of Friday the 13th Part 2 and Friday the 13th Part 3, according to High Def Digest. Tech specs for both titles will see BD-50 dual-layer presentations with 1080p video and English Dolby TrueHD 5.1 Surround tracks. (‘Part 3’ has been confirmed as being presented in 2-D only, with no 3-D version offered.) More info inside.
Extras on ‘Part 2’ will mirror the previous DVD, including two featurettes, newly-produced “missing murder scenes” and the original trailer.
Unlike the domestic DVD re-issue of ‘Part 3’ (which included a 3-D version but came sans extras), the Blu-ray will include the bonus materials found on the overseas version, including three featurettes (“Fresh Cuts: 3D Terror ,” “Legacy of the Mask,” “Slasher Films: Going for the Jugular”), “Lost Tales from Camp Blood, Part 3” short films, and the trailer.
Suggested retail price for each Blu-ray has been set at $29.99.
