Fox has announced final specs for the '80s adventure hits 'Romancing the Stone' and 'The Jewel of the Nile,' which will come to Blu-ray this October with all-new bonus features.

As previously reported, Fox will release the Michael Douglas-Kathleen Turner starrers concurrently on October 14 as stand-alone releases, timed day-and-date with new standard DVD re-issues.

Now the full specs are in, with a wealth of newly-produced bonus materials that should please fans.

Extras on 'Romancing the Stone' include a suite of four featurettes ("Rekindling The Romance: A Look Back," "A Hidden Treasure: The Screenwriter," "Douglas, Turner and DeVito: Favorite Scenes," "Michael Douglas Remembers") and eight deleted scenes.

'Jewel of the Nile' features an audio commentary by director Lewis Teague, a pair of featurettes ("Romancing The Nile: A Winning Sequel," "Adventures of a Romance Novelist"), six deleted scenes and the original theatrical trailer.

Tech specs are identical on each release, with a BD-50 dual-layer presentation with 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 video (2.35:1) and DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio 5.1 Surround tracks.

Suggested retail price for the Blu-rays has been set at $39.98 a pop

I remember thinking when they first came out with Romancing the Stone that it had to be the stupidest name for a movie and only when I watched it on cable did it make sense to me WHY they used that name.

I actually really liked this movie back then and may buy it on BD when it comes out.

Romancing the Stone and Jewel of the Nile were both just bland to me. Good acting, but a horrible screenplay for both.
