Furthering its unwavering commitment to the Blu-ray Disc (BD) format, the only high-definition packaged media platform broadly supported by the film, music, gaming, computing and consumer electronics industries, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment announced five additional titles scheduled for release in December including the $120 million box office smash and one of the most buzzed about films of the year The Devil Wears Prada as its second BD/DVD day-and-date release on December 12. Like the Studio's first day-and-date BD/DVD release, Ice Age: The Meltdown on November 21, the release of The Devil Wears Prada on the BD format will benefit from a multi-million dollar promotional marketing campaign. Each of Fox's BD releases is available for the suggested retail price of US$39.98/C$49.98.

In addition to The Devil Wears Prada on December 12, the Studio will release four additional, targeted titles that brilliantly showcase the technological superiority of the Blu-ray Disc format including From Hell starring Johnny Depp, Flight of the Phoenix, and Rising Sun starring Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes on December 5. On December 26 the Studio will release the fast-paced action thriller and box-office favorite The Transporter 2.

Fox takes advantage of the next generation format's high definition technology and advanced functionality to present its titles with the highest quality audiovisual elements.

Fox's commitment to emerging technologies is dedicated to enhancing the consumer experience of its products and providing for backward compatibility with their existing home entertainment libraries while also aggressively protecting its intellectual property from piracy. The Blu-ray companies fully embrace the Studio's steadfast commitment to the fight against piracy and the preservation of the integrity of its properties. Twentieth Century Fox is a member of the Board of Directors of the Blu-ray Disc Association.
