Avatar is coming to DVD and Blu-Ray on Earth Day.
The release will feature only the 2D version of the film and will be a bare-bones only release with no bonus features. According to the Los Angeles Times, the producers have decided to use the disc space normally allotted to special features to maximize the quality of the images and audio.
Fox is preparing a special environmental campaign for the release that reflects the ecological message of the film and tie it in to the release on April 22, the 40th anniversary of the original Earth Day, the Times reports.
A second, multi-disc ultimate edition of the film is reportedly set for release in November. The Times reports that release of the film in a 3-D format for home video is being held back until home 3-D technology is more advanced.
Avatar is expected to be released with a suggested retail price of $29.98 on DVD and $39.99 on Blu-ray.
