Steven Spielberg’s Duel getting 50th anniversary Blu-ray release

It’s 50 years since Dennis Weaver and a huge truck did battle – and a 50th anniversary release of Steven Spielberg’s Duel is incoming. Here’s a story for a certain generation of people who needed a reminder of just how, er, young they are. The debut feature film from a director by the name of Steven Spielberg has reached its 50^th birthday this year. And if you’ve never had the pleasure, then Duel is quite, quite brilliant. It stars Dennis Weaver and a bloody big truck, with the latter gunning for the former. And you know what? There are some who felt, given the tension he managed to wring out of a very simple setup, that this Spielberg fella could potentially go far. The 50^th anniversary of the film is being marked by a Blu-ray reissue too. It’s due on May 31^st, and from what we can tell it carries across extra features from the last disc release. But exclusive to this is also a new sleeve design and a fold-out double-sided artwork poster from Graham Humphreys. You can find out more about the release and order yourself a copy here. And, genuinely, if you’ve not seen this one, it’s really, really worth seeking out. — Thank you for visiting! If you’d like to support our attempts to make a non-clickbaity movie website: Follow Film Stories on Twitter here, and on Facebook here.
