Each will include Dolby Digital 5.1 audio in English and French (dubbed in Quebec), subtitles in English, French and Spanish, audio commentary by director Christopher Nolan (presented in the order the film was shot), audio commentary by Hilary Swank and filmmakers, 180°: A Conversation with Christopher Nolan and Al Pacino (on-camera interview), the In the Fog featurette (an exploration of the film's cinematography and the design of the "fog" sequence with two separately selectable audio tracks; one with director of photography Wally Pfister and the second with production designer Nathan Crowley), the Day for Night: The Making of Insomnia documentary, the Eyes Wide Open featurette (on the real sleep disorder), and extended scene with optional director's commentary, the From the Evidence Room gallery of theatrical posters, stills and production designs, the film's theatrical trailer and DVD-ROM weblinks to the film's website and live online events.
