Paramount Home Media announced two new Blu-ray promotions for the first quarter this past week. The first of these is the Mar. 2 Blu-ray debut of director Andy Fickman’s 2006 high school comedy, She’s the Man: 15th Anniversary Edition, starring Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum.
Bonus features include two separate commentary options, the first featuring cast members Amanda Bynes, Channing Tatum, Laura Ramsey, Robert Hoffman and Alexandra Breckenridge, who are joined by director Andy Fickman (Playing with Fire, Race to Witch Mountain) and writer/producer Ewan “Jack” Leslie, and the second features Leslie with co-producer Lauren Shuler Donner.
There are also nine deleted scenes, a gag reel, the David Lichens’ music video titled “Let Go” and three featurettes — “Making the Man,” “The Troupe” and “Inspired by Sharkespeare’s … Twelfth Night.”
