DVD — Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition (2008)

There Will Be Blood was released on DVD by Paramount on April 8, 2008, in a Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition. The first disc contains the film; the second contains the bonus features. The release notably lacks a director's commentary — Anderson has never recorded one for this film. (dvdsreleasedates, variety)
