Earlier today, Steven Spielberg's spokesperson and current member of the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Marvin Levy, was kind enough to speak to Blu-ray.com regarding Paramount's recent decision to exclusively back the HD DVD format and Mr. Spielberg's future involvement with high definition media. Mr. Levy did confirm for us that Mr. Spielberg is "certainly a supporter of Blu-ray" and communicated the Spielberg camp's excitement over the upcoming release of 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind', exclusively on Blu-ray.

In speaking with the technical team behind the release, Mr. Levy confirmed that 'Close Encounters' "looks absolutely great" and will feature, "a new interview for this piece looking back and looking currently at Close Encounters and how Steven feels about the film today."
