TVPredictions.com

Washington, D.C. (July 26, 2010) -- Lionsgate announced today that it will release Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now on Blu-ray high-def disc on October 19.

The Vietnam war film, which features an all-star cast including Martin Sheen,
Marlon Brando and Robert Duvall, is regarded as one of the best films of all time -- and one of the best photographed.

Lionsgate says Coppola has agreed to supervise the transfer from film to high-def disc as part of a multi-year deal. The studio will also release Coppola's
The Conversation on Blu-ray on a future date.
 

"We are thrilled to be in business with Francis Ford Coppola, one of the greatest filmmakers of our time," said Lionsgate President Steve Beeks. "Having directed, produced and written some of the most financially successful and critically acclaimed movies in U.S. cinematic history, Coppola is one of the masters of modern cinema."
