[All Headline News] The action movie from “Crank” filmmaking team Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor debuted today on home format, allowing viewers to bring the intense, video game-like action to their own screens available from Lionsgate Films.

Exclusive to the Blu-ray are enhanced elements specially made for the format like BD-Touch and Metamenu Remote. Also featured are Lionsgate Live, I-Con Mode for superior behind-the-scenes viewing and “‘Gamer’ Cheat Codes” for additional commentary available at specific scenes…

[ElectronicHouse.com] There’s a lot more on a Blu-ray disc than just the movie itself. There’s trivia, commentary, interactive games, and other tidbits. The BD Touch app from NetBlender provides a link between your Blu-ray player and iPhone or iPod touch, making retrieval of that info quick and simple…

[Emedia Live] BD-Live is tricky. It has a lot of promise, but the industry seems to be struggling to figure out what its killer app will be. The latest, and perhaps most promising contender: connecting the physical world with the mobile world. This is not necessarily a new concept, but perhaps now with an easy way to accomplish the task, studios will be more likely to offer rich BD-Live content. Could it be BD Touch, which connects Blu ray to mobile devices? Quite possibly. NetBlender originally introduced BD Touch last year, but at NAB 2009 they kicked up the application a notch with their own iPhone app.

BluFocus and NetBlender will debut an updated mobile app for the iPhone, BlackBerry and other smartphones next week that will allow Blu-ray owners to transfer bonus and interactive features directly from their BD discs and players to phones.
