Writer/director Rian Johnson’s slick mystery, Knives
Out, featuring an all-star cast that includes
the likes of Daniel Craig, Michael Shannon, Jamie Lee Curtis, Chris Evans, Toni
Collette and Christopher Plummer, will be heading home as a three-SKU selection
of home entertainment package media products courtesy of Lionsgate Home
Entertainment on Feb. 25.
The ARR is a quick-to-market 88 days and the
domestic box office take currently stands at a stellar $147 million.
Planned for release are 4K Ultra HD (with Blu-ray)
and Blu-ray (with DVD) Combo Pack editions, plus a stand-alone DVD
presentation.
Bonus features include commentary from Rian Johnson
(Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi, Looper,
Brick) — who received an Oscar nomination for
Best Original Screenplay for his clever Knives
Out script — a pair of deleted scenes, an
eight-part production diary titled “Making a Murder,” the featurette titled
“Rian Johnson: Planning the Perfect Murder” and a Q&A sessions with Johnson
and members of the cast.
Also getting marching orders this week from
Lionsgate Home Entertainment is director Jay Roach’s healthy-budget box office
dud, Bombshell,
starring Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie (who got a Best
Supporting Actress nomination here, but was completely ignored for her work in Once Upon
a Time … in Hollywood).
The street date will be Mar. 10 for DVD and
Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack editions.
The ARR is a quick-to-market 88 days and the film’s
box office take thus far — despite Oscar nominations for the aforementioned
Margot Robbie and Charlize Theron (Best Actress) — is a paltry $29.4
million. That number should improve as
the curious seek-out the film as a result of the Oscar-season hype.
As to bonus features, there’s a seven-part
production diary titled “No Easy Truths: The Making of Bombshell” and as many
featuettes — “Convergence: Genesis of the Film,” “Quid Pro Quo: Charlize,
Nicole, Margot, John,” “Human Dynamics: The Ensemble Cast,” “Breaking the
Fourth Wall: Visual Design,” “Layer by Layer: Makeup, Hair & Clothing,” “A
Unique Skill Set: Jay Roach” and “Catalyst for Change: Parting Thoughts.”
