The Agony and the Ecstasy (Blu-Ray) in March
Fox has scheduled The Agony and the Ecstasy (Blu-Ray) for a March 4th street date.
While Fox's classic DVD production ended a few years ago, as with this release, the studio continues to slowly make available their previously released DVDs onto Blu. The sole bonus feature is the theatrical trailer.
Charlton Heston and Rex Harrison portray two of the Renaissance's most colorful figures in this historical drama based on Irving Stone's best-seller. When Pope Julius ll (Harrison) commissions Michelangelo (Heston) to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, the artist initially refuses. Virtually forced to do the job by Julius, he later destroys his own work and flees to Rome.
Nominated for an Oscar Cinematography and named one of the year's best films by the National Board of Review, The Agony And The Ecstasy is a fascinating dramatization of the battle of wills behind one of the world's artistic masterpieces.
