Warner Bros has sent notice today that it intends to drop The Bucket List onto DVD and Blu-Ray June 10th this summer, actually the DVD will come in 2 flavors wide and full screen.

Looks like the DVD will be getting the shaft on this one. For those of you who missed this film when it came out (and many probably did), here is a brief synopsis:

You only live once, so why not go out in style? That’s what two cancer-ward roommates, an irascible billionaire (Jack Nicholson) and a scholarly mechanic (Morgan Freeman), decide when they get the bad news. They compose a bucket list – things to do before you kick the bucket – and head off for the around-the-world adventure of their lives. Sky dive? Check. Power a Shelby Mustang around a racetrack? Check. Gaze at the Great Pyramid of Khufu? Check. Discover the joy in their lives before it’s too late? Check!
