I Want Wanted On Blu-ray

Although Wanted isn’t a deep, compelling drama, the movie is one giant visual piece of candy. Even as I was leaving the theater I remember saying I couldn’t wait for this to come to home video, because it’s a movie that will really show off a good home theater. The wait is considerably shorter now, with an announced December 2nd release date for the movie, with single disc, double disc, and Blu-ray releases announced.

The press release for Wanted really pushes the notion that Blu-ray is the perfect way to view the movie, and I’d be inclined to agree. The high definition version of the movie will also carry several exclusive extras, including an alternate opening and the ability to watch the movie with friends over BD-Live.

Check out the announced bonus material below. We’ll bring you cover art as soon as we get a glimpse of it. For now, mark December 2nd as a Wanted date.
