Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has selected June 13 as the
street date for a three-SKU helping of director Chris McKay’s The
LEGO Batman Movie.
The ARR works out to 123 days and the domestic box office
count currently stands at $173.8 million.
As to bonus goodies, filmmaker Chris McKay will be providing
commentary, plus there are deleted scenes, the Comic Con Panel video session,
four animated short films — Dark
Hoser, Batman is Just Not That Into You, Cooking with Alfred and
Movie Sound Effects: How Do They Do That? — and five featurettes: “One
Brick at a Time: Making the Lego Batman Movie,” “Inside Wayne Manor,” “Brick by
Brick: Making of the LEGO Batman,” “Behind the Brick” and “Me and My Mini Fig.”
Also announced by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment this past
week were four new Blu-ray releases that will be available during the month of
May.
First up is director John Frankenheimer’s 1964 political
thriller, Seven Days in May, pitting Burt Lancaster as General James
Mattoon Scott against the weak-willed President Jordan Lyman (Fredric March),
with Kirk Douglas (Colonel “Jiggs” Casey), Martin Balsam (presidential advisor
Paul Girard) and Edmond O’Brien as the heavy-drinking Senator Raymond Clark as
his only allies in stopping a military coup.
The Blu-ray for this double-Oscar nominee (Edmond O’Brien
for Best Supporting Actor and Best Art Direction) will be available on May 2.
The following week, Tuesday, May 9, look for director Lawrence
Kasdan’s 1988 Best Picture nominee, The Accidental Tourist, starring William
Hurt, Kathleen Turner and Geena Davis (she won the Oscar for Best Supporting
Actress) and director Tony Richardson’s 1965 film adaptation of the 1948 Evelyn
Waugh novel, The Loved One, which is noted for its all-star cast that
includes Jonathan Winters, Robert Morse, Anjanette Comer and Rod Steiger in
leading roles and so-called “guest” appearances by none other than John
Gielgud, Roddy McDowall, James Coburn, Liberace and “Uncle Miltie,” Milton
Berle.
And last, but not least, May 16 brings director Harold
Becker’s 1985 film adaptation of the Terry Davis novel, Vision Quest, to
Blu-ray. Matthew Modine, Linda
Florentino and Ronny Cox star, with Madonna appearing as a bar singer belting
out “Crazy For You” and “Gambler.”
