Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Robert Pearlman on 03-22-2005 10:58 AM Universal Studios release <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="+0">[b]Universal Studios Home Entertainment Announces 'Apollo 13 Anniversary Edition' DVD[/b]</font> [i]2-Disc DVD Edition Includes 'Apollo 13: The IMAX Experience' Version and New Bonus Features Commemorating 35th Anniversary of the Historic Space Mission and 10th Anniversary of the Film's Release Available March 29, 2005[/i] In 1970, the world held its breath in stunned and rapt silence as a crippled space capsule made a life-or-death race to return safely to Earth. In commemoration of the historic mission that riveted millions to the fate of three courageous astronauts and the NASA Mission Control staff that worked tirelessly to save their lives, Universal Studios Home Entertainment will release the 2-Disc "Apollo 13 Anniversary Edition" DVD on March 29, 2005. Directed by Ron Howard, produced by Brian Grazer and starring Tom Hanks, Ed Harris, Bill Paxton, Kevin Bacon, and Gary Sinise, the DVD includes "Apollo 13: The IMAX Experience" version and features two never-before-seen bonus extras: "Lucky 13: The Astronaut's Story" which recounts the events of the mission and "Conquering Space: The Moon and Beyond," a fascinating look back at the past 45 years in the history of the space program. The DVD is priced at $22.98 suggested retail. A timeless and inspiring true story of faith, determination and ingenuity, "Apollo 13" was hailed by Roger Ebert as, "A powerful story, one of the year's best." The film was nominated for nine Academy Awards including Best Picture, and was honored for Best Film Editing and Best Sound. [b]Bonus Features[/b] The 2-Disc "Apollo 13 Anniversary Edition" DVD includes the following bonus features: Disc One:[list][]"Lost Moon: The Triumph of Apollo 13" — The making of the film including behind-the-scenes footage and interviews []Feature Commentary with Director Ron Howard []Feature Commentary with Jim and Marilyn Lovell []Production Notes []Theatrical Trailer[/list] Disc Two: [list][]"Apollo 13: The IMAX Experience" Version — Re-edited for the giant screen by director Ron Howard and Academy Award-winning editor Dan Hanley []Conquering Space: The Moon and Beyond — A recap of the last 45 years in space []Lucky 13: The Astronauts' Story — Recounting the events of the mission[/list] [b]Synopsis[/b] Less than a year after the world marveled at man's first moon walk — and only three years after the deadly Apollo 1 fire — the American public thought of the April 1970 Apollo 13 moon mission as just another "routine" space flight. But soon, four words from Spacecraft Commander Jim Lovell would change all that: "Houston, we have a problem." Stranded 205,000 miles from home in a crippled spacecraft, Lovell, and two other astronauts, Jack Swigert and Fred Haise, fought a desperate battle to survive while Mission Control's heroic ground crew raced against time — and long odds — to bring them home. Academy Award-winner Ron Howard directs Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise, Ed Harris and Kathleen Quinlan in a riveting account of this breathtaking real-life adventure.</BLOCKQUOTE> <center><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/apollo13_anniversary_edition01.jpg" width="360" height="490"></center>
