Following up on our
news announcement yesterday about a change to the release date and cover art for "The Wire - Season 1", we now have the fully complete details about the set for you.
As we mentioned before, the date has changed to
Sept. 21st for this set. From David Simon, creator and co-writer of HBO-s triple Emmy-winning mini-series
The Corner, this unvarnished, highly realistic HBO series follows a single sprawling drug and murder investigation in Baltimore. Told from the point of view of both the police and their targets, the series captures a universe of subterfuge and surveillance, where easy distinctions between good and evil, and crime and punishment, are challenged at every turn.
Look for a 5-DVD set running at 780 minutes, with a list price of $99.98! Besides the complete first season of episodes, you'll also find this bonus material on-board:
- Audio Commentary with series Creator/Executive Producer David Simon, Writer George Pelecanos, and Director Clark Johnson on episodes #1, #2, and #12
- Episodic Recaps
- Season 2 Preview
Aspect Ratio is 1.33:1 full frame, according to the spec sheet. Soundtracks are English Surround 5.1, English Stereo 2.0, and French Stereo 2.0. You can also access the subtitles in English, French, or Spanish. Here's another shot of the new cover art for you:
