On October 19th, 2010, Lionsgate will release two versions of Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now on Blu-Ray. If you may or may not know from my reflection piece on the film (which can be found here), I am a huge fan of the film and it’s exciting to see it finally come to the high-definition format. Both Blu-Ray versions will contain the 1979 theatrical cut and the 2001 Redux cut. According to IGN, both cuts will be presented in their original theatrical aspect ratios for the first time on home video. For more details on the upcoming release, you can check out here.

How many different releases of this flick have there been now? 40?
Is the Redux cut still necessary as an add-along?
I saw the first Redux version that was released in 2001, but now I agree with Fletch, is this film that great to be re-done like 40 times?
I was going to mention how many different versions and releases of this film there has been, but you guys seemed to cover it pretty well yourselves!
SWEET!!! One of the 10 greatest films ever made in my opinion. Not the Redux, just the original. This is terrific news!!!
