Due day-and-date with the standard DVD release, Paramount Home Entertainment will release 'World Trade Center' on both Blu-ray and HD DVD in time for the holidays.

Though Paramount previously hinted that Oliver Stone's controversial 9/11 drama would hit high-def later this year, the studio has officially announced a December 12 street date for the release.
