Argo, in arrivo l'extended edition in Blu-Ray

"Argo fuck yourself!".

La Warner Bros. ha annunciato che Argo, l'acclamato film diretto e interpretato da Ben Affleck vincitore di ben tre premi Oscar - tra i quali la statuetta per il Miglior Film - verrà riproposto in home video in Extended Edition a partire dal 3 dicembre (la data fa ovviamente riferimento al mercato statunitense).

La nuova edizione proporrà sia la versione cinematografica che quella arricchita da scene aggiuntive - dieci minuti per un totale di 130 minuti - oltre a diversi extra inediti. All'interno della confezione saranno presenti anche svariati memorabilia:

• Un poster di Argo

• La mappa di Tehran

• La replica del tesserino CIA di Tony Mendez

• Un libro di 40 pagine contenente foto, informazioni, biografie e molto altro

[UPDATE] Abbiamo appena ricevuto comunicazione da parte della divisione italiana della Warner che l'extended edition uscira anche in Italia, anche se non è ancora stata fissata una data precisa di release.
