Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment have announced the US DVD and Blu-ray Disc release of 10 Things I Hate About You: 10th Anniversary Edition on 5th January 2010. This update of William Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew” is set in a modern day high school. Heath Ledger makes his American screen debut opposite Julia Stiles as the independent, smart-mouthed girl of his dreams.

Pricing is a little uncertain at the moment with the press release stating an SRP of $44.99 for a 2-Disc Blu-ray with Digital Copy and $39.99 SRP for a 2-Disc DVD with Digital Copy, but then later listing a 1-Disc Blu-ray for $29.99 SRP and a 2-Disc DVD for $19.99 SRP (the latter prices seem more likely).
