Default 'American Gangster' -- pre-release buzz

Universal has sent along some early specs for 'American Gangster' to prime the publicity pump.

The disc will street sometime in March, with 1080p/VC-1 video and Dolby TrueHD audio.

Extras include audio commentary with director Ridley Scott, the "Fallen Empire" documentary, a featurette, deleted scenes, U-Control PIP track, and web-enabled content to be announced.

The HD DVD is a combo, and retail is $39.98.

We'll post an exact street date as soon as it comes in...

Cool. I like Denzel. He is a badass actor. I might pick up two more movies on the bogo today with him in it.
