Clint Eastwood’s Academy Award-winning Letters From Iwo Jima is finally coming to DVD next month, and it looks like Warner Bros are pulling out all the stops for its release. It will be available on its own as a 2-disc special edition, but as expected, it will also be packaged with its companion film, Flags of our Fathers, in a huge 5-disc Commemorative Collector’s Edition that also includes the A&E documentary Heroes Of Iwo Jima and the 1945 short film To the Shores of Iwo Jima.

Special features for Letters itself will include:
- Red Sun, Black Sand: Making of Letters from Iwo Jima documentary
- Faces of Combat: The Cast of Letters from Iwo Wima documentary
- Photo montage
- November 2006 World Premiere at Budo-kan in Tokyo
- November 2006 press conference footage

I’ve been looking forward to catching this movie, especially after Flags of our Fathers received disappointing reviews. I’m not sure why it received such a limited theatrical release, but at least everyone will finally have access to it on May 22nd. HD-DVD and Blu-ray versions of the film will also be released on the same day.
