20th Century-Fox Home Entertainment announced
this past week that director Matthew Vaughn’s film adaptation of the Mark
Millar and Dave Gibbons comic book series, Kingsman: The Secret Service, will
be available as DVD and Blu-ray product offerings on June 9.
The ARR is 116 days and the box office take was a sweet
$124.5 million.
As to bonus features for this likely first entry in a film
franchise series, there will be a commentary option (unspecified) and at least
a half dozen featurettes, including one titled “Kingsman: The Secret Service
Revealed - Panel-To-Screen: The Education of a 21st Century Super Spy.”
Also getting a release calendar assignment this past week is
director David Gelb’s The Lazarus Effect, a not-so-subtle
reimaging of filmmaker Joel Schumacher’s 1990 film release of Flatliners.
The street date for both DVD and Blu-ray editions is June 16
… the ARR works out to 109 days and domestic ticket sales were $25.4 million.
Although the plot lines are different, one can’t help bit compare
The
Lazarus Effect with Flatliners. A young cast (looking to breakout), death
being toyed with … and its after effects.
The big difference lies in the after effects, which take on Carrie-like
creepiness when Zoe (Olivia Wilde — Deadfall, Cowboys & Aliens, TRON: Legacy),
one of their members, dies and is brought back to life.
No word as to any bonus nuggets at this time.
