First Look: Juno Blu-ray Box Art is Good, In Chair

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on February 28, 2008

Last week we brought you word of the Juno DVD release that will be taking place on April 15, 2008. As you can imagine, I was smitten by the fact that it will also be released on Blu-ray with a few awesome special features.

The news gets even better, as our friends at High-Def Digest have a first look at the box art for the Blu-ray edition, in all its Orange Tic Tac-ed glory. You might agree that the cover is creative, but that isn’t all that is special about it. It also shows that Fox will be including its new Digital Copy. This means that the Blu-ray release will include a second bonus disc, in standard definition, that will include a copy of the film that can be transfered to iTunes, and then on to your iPod, iPhone or whatever other devices you have in your iUniverse. Moral of the story: you get Juno in portable form. Pretty cool, eh?

The Juno Blu-ray disc has been set at an MSRP of $39.98.

Just an FYI - this is what the 2-disc non-HD cover art looks like as well.

I was hoping for an Andy Warhol-ish cover. You know like, a giant tic-tacs bottle. Maybe too commerical, eh?

Okay I've been waiting patiently to ask this question... what's the deal with the Morgan Freeman line in Juno? She calls her friend, the friend says "Juno?", and Juno says "No, it's Morgan Freeman. I was wondering if you had any bones that need collecting."
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but if she's referring to the movie 'The Bone Collector' shouldn't she have said Denzel Washington?
I'm not bashing the movie Neil... just this one thing has been bugging me. Anyone?

Kevin

Its a goof on imdb. But it sounds funnier. Diablo Cody probably had The Bone Collector confused with Kiss The Girls. They're both about serial killers. Bone Collector features Denzel as a detective who attempts suicide. Morgan Freeman is in Kiss The Girls.

See I figured it to be a mistake, but the screenplay is so "smart" and deliberate with its pop culture references that the mistake seemed hard to believe. Just surprised no one caught it at the screenplay stage, on set, or in early previews. Regardless, great dvd cover art!

Kevin

I know, right? Granted, I forgot too. I only like Seven and Silence of the Lambs are the only stalker movies I like from that period.

I have been thinking about this for a while. There is no way that it is a mistake. Do you
know how many hundreds of people read s script before it gets produced? Are we supposed
to believe that hundreds of people who work in movies for a living didn't pick up on the
mistake but we as simple movie watches did? I think it is most definitely a reference to the
typecasting of black actors in the mid to late '90s. Diablo gives Juno the mistake of thinking
Morgan Freeman was in The Bone Collector because, well, he was in every other serial-
killer-being-hunted-down-by-black-detective movie of the era. It's a simple and logical
mistake for Juno to make, given that The Bone Collector came out in 1999 when she would
have been 8 years old. I think it is a funny line, despite whether you pick up on Juno's
mistake or not. Love the movie.

I think Juno's comment is most likely referring to Morgan Freeman's movie "Kiss the Girls".
