Jan - 05 - 10 | By: Disney Dreaming | One Comment | Share |

Touchstone Pictures Home Entertainment has just released the 10th Anniversary Edition of “10 Things I Hate About You” on both Blu-ray and DVD today, January 5th.

The movie stars Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles in a modern-day “The Taming of the Shrew” originally from William Shakespeare.

The plot of the movie is a rocky romance between the main characters who don’t think they have much in common from the start but learn over time that they are more alike than they ever thought.

Other celebrities involved in the film include:
- Joseph Gordon-Levitt
- Larisa Oleynik
- David Krumholtz
- Gabrielle Unione
- Larry Miller

We absolutely adore this movie. We think that the relationship between Heath’s character and Julia’s character is romantic and fun and this is definitely a classic romantic comedy that will never get old.

Bonus features on the DVD include:

- 10 Things I Love About 10 Things I Hate About You 10 Years Later – How do you turn a high school teenage romance film into a cult hit? Start with a new approach to literary classic; find some talented young actors and pepper in the right amount of punk rock! Ten years after the film’s initial debut, we’ll sit with the director Gil Junger, and writers Kirsten Smith and Karen Lutz to reflect and hear the story about how this classic teen comedy came to be. Through these interviews and never-before-seen behind the scenes footage, original cast interviews, deleted scenes, original screen test and personal photos from the writers’ scrap books we will tell the remarkable story of this smash hit and why everyone loves 10 Things I Hate About You.

- I Want You To Want Me: The 10 Things I Hate About You Screen Tests — Viewers are invited into the casting office for an insiders look at the screen tests that won actors Heath Ledger, Julia Styles, Larisa Oleynik and Susan May Pratt their classic roles. This featurette includes an introduction by director Gil Junger and writers Kirsten Smith and Karen Lutz

- Audio Commentary with co-writers Karen Lutz and Kirsten Smith, and stars Andrew Keegan, David Krumholtz, Larisa Oleynik and Susan May Pratt Padua High sophomore Bianca Stratford (Larisa Oleynik) has two invitations to the prom and one big problem: her father (Larry Miller) won’t let her go unless her older sister Kat (Julia Stiles) agrees to attend as well. It looks like both girls are staying home, since independent and unconventional Kat has no interest in going—until she meets the school’s mysterious new bad boy Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger). What she doesn’t know is that her sister’s suitors (Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Andrew Keegan) have ponied up $300 to convince Patrick to woo her. Just as Patrick realizes he has unexpectedly fallen for his “assignment,” Kat finds out about the scheme and Patrick has to launch an all out campaign to win her back. Inspired by Shakespeare’s “The
Taming of the Shrew,” 10 Things I Hate About You takes a witty and contemporary look at the eternal battle between the sexes, high-school style.

The Two-Disc DVD with Digital File is set to $39.99 while the Two-Disc Blu-ray Hi-Def with Digital File is set to retail for $44.99.
