Warner Bros. Home Entertainment announced this past week
that July 28 will be the release date for the latest full-length DC
Entertainment animated thriller, Justice League: Gods & Monsters.
Directed by three-time Emmy nominee Sam Liu (Thor:
Tales of Asgard, Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, Justice
League: Crisis on Two Earths, etc.), DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack
editions are planned.
An alternate universe exists and the heroes of the Justice
League are deviant, power-hungry freaks.
Superman is a tyrant, Batman has thirst for blood and Wonder Woman
embraces the art of war … and now their reach into our world may be at
hand! Can these monsters be stopped in
this ultimate battle between good and evil?
Bonus features include two production featurettes — “Alternate
Realities: Infinite Possibilities” and “Calculated Risks: The Making of Gods
and Monsters” — Jack Kirby’s documentary titled The New Gods and bonus cartoons
from the DC Comics Vault.
In other release news this week, Warner Bros. Home
Entertainment will have newly-minted Blu-ray editions of The Cell (2000, starring
Jennifer Lopez and Vincent D'Onofrio) and Virtuosity (1995, Russell Crowe,
Denzel Washington and Kelly Lynch) on July 7, and Aug. 4 brings to the Blu-ray
format both Free Willy and Innerspace (1987, directed by Joe
Dante and starring Dennis Quaid, future wife, Meg Ryan and Martin Short).
On the DVD release front, Warner Bros. goes to the vaults on
Apr. 21 for a quintet of rare-to-find classic Westerns that includes director
Lesley Selander’s 1954 film release of Arrow in the Dust, starring Sterling
