On October 19th, Apocalypse Now makes its debut appearance on Blu-ray, and will be seen in its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio for the first time outside of cinemas. The following trailer showcases some of the shots with this framing.

Maybe he’s changed his mind due to the size of modern TV sets and the quality of Blu-ray, or maybe he’s just been ignored.
