I've never seen the Spongebob movie But i would propably watch that more then The Ten Commandments as well. I saw it on DVD a few years ago and while it was good, it wasnt something i could watch a lot. I'll most likely watch it on Blu-Ray once and that's it.

Paramount Home Entertainment has revealed the full release details for Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments, which, as reported yesterday, will come out on Blu-ray on March 29 in two editions: a two-disc Blu-ray edition and a six-disc, limited-edition Blu-ray/DVD combo gift set, the latter of which will prominently include the silent 1923 version of The Ten Commandments in high definition and more.

The Blu-ray/DVD Combo gift set comes packaged in a limited edition box featuring an image of the Red Sea that parts when the box is opened to reveal two tablets, which encase all six discs (three BDs, three DVDs) in the set. The set also includes a commemorative photo and archive book, a new 75-minute, in-depth documentary about the film and its impact, original costume sketches, the 1923 silent film The Ten Commandments (also available for the first time on Blu-ray), international premiere photos, production notes from Cecil B. DeMille, correspondence from Charlton Heston, feature commentary and more.

The movie will be split across two discs, both in the two-disc Blu-ray edition and in the gift set.

Special features include:

Two-disc Blu-ray edition

Commentary by Katherine Orrison, author of Written in Stone: Making Cecil B. DeMille's Epic The Ten Commandments
Newsreel: The Ten Commandments Premiere in New York
Theatrical Trailers
Gift set

As above, plus:
1923 feature
Commentary by Katherine Orrison
Hand-tinted footage of the Exodus and parting of the Red Sea sequence (from 1923 feature)
Photo Gallery—1923
The Ten Commandments: Making Miracles—75-minute documentary
Photo Gallery—1956

But why split the movie over two discs?

[galactiboy]

That is odd given the length of the film

 

[Darth Waller]

Sounds like the days of laserdisc all over again.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

LOL. Remember that ? I remember going out of my way to get an auto turn one ! LOL.

 

[tomandshell]

I will pass on Ten Commandments and keep waiting for Ben-Hur.

LOL. Remember that ? I remember going out of my way to get an auto turn one ! LOL.

I finally got one late in laserdisc's life when my first player died.

 

[IronFingaz]

I will pass on Ten Commandments and keep waiting for Ben-Hur.

No release date for Ben-Hur just yet but my guess is it will be around October/November.
