On August 7, Warner Home Video (WHV) celebrates the 25th anniversary of Full Metal Jacket - Stanley Kubrick's intense Vietnam War drama - with the release of the 25th Anniversary Blu-ray Book. The anniversary edition of the film Time Magazine's Richard Corliss called a "technical knockout" will be showcased in premium Blu-ray Book packaging with 44 pages that include a personal letter and intimate reflections from star Matthew Modine, as well as behind-the-scenes photos specifically selected for this release.

The Full Metal Jacket 25th Anniversary Blu-ray Book will also include a newly added bonus disc with the 60 minute documentary Stanley Kubrick's Boxes that sheds light on the genius and "rhythm of the genius" at work. The Full Metal Jacket 25th Anniversary Blu-ray Book will be available for $34.99 SRP.

About the Film:
A superb ensemble falls in for Kubrick's brilliant saga about the Vietnam War and the dehumanizing process that turns people into trained killers. The scathing indictment of a film was nominated for an Academy Award® for Best Screenplay (1988). Pvt. J.T. 'Joker' Davis (Matthew Modine), Animal Mother (Adam Baldwin), Pvt. Leonard 'Gomer Pyle' Lawrence (Vincent D'Onofrio), Eightball (Dorian Harewood) and Pvt. Cowboy (Arliss Howard) are some of the Marine recruits experiencing boot-camp hell under the punishing command of the foul-mouthed Gny. Sgt. Hartman (R. Lee Ermey). The action is savage, the story unsparing, and the dialogue is spiked with scathing humor, as the raw grit and brutal drama of the Vietnam War comes through loud and clear.

Special Features:
* Commentary by Adam Baldwin, Vincent D'Onofrio, R. Lee Ermey and critic/screenwriter Jay Cocks
* Documentary - Stanley Kubrick's Boxes (new to DVD)
* Featurette - Full Metal Jacket: Between Good and Evil
* Theatrical Trailer
