A Mighty Heart on DVD Oct 16th

A captivating journey into the heart of one woman who refused to be terrorized, the emotionally evocative and inspirational drama A MIGHTY HEART arrives on DVD and HD DVD October 16, 2007 from Paramount Home Entertainment.  Angelina Jolie “is both physically and emotionally convincing” (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times) and gives “a forceful, immediate and convincing performance” (Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times) as Mariane Pearl, wife of kidnapped Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.  Based on Mariane’s account of the life and death of her husband, A MIGHTY HEART is expertly directed by Michael Winterbottom (Welcome To Sarajevo) who “exerts a grip that won’t let go” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone) to give an honest and unvarnished portrayal of the chaotic weeks following Daniel’s kidnapping and the noble attempts to find the truth about his disappearance.  The result is a “humane and haunting” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone) film that lovingly honors the life and spirit of a brave soul who came too close to the ideological chasm that divides our world.  The A MIGHTY HEART DVD and HD DVD presentations include “A Journey of Passion: The Making of A MIGHTY HEART”, a public service announcement from the Pearl Foundation and a segment on the Committee to Protect Journalists.

The A MIGHTY HEART DVD and HD DVD discs are presented in widescreen enhanced for 16:9 TVs.  The DVD features Dolby Digital English 5.1 Surround, French 5.1 Surround and Spanish 5.1 Surround and English, French and Spanish subtitles.  The HD DVD features English 5.1 Dolby True HD, English 5.1, French 5.1 and Spanish 5.1 Dolby Digital Plus with English, English SDH+, French, Spanish and Portuguese subtitles.  Special features included on the discs are as follows and are in standard definition:
