'The Last Stand' Detailed, Hitting Blu-ray May 21st

Tags: Lionsgate, Disc Announcements (all tags)

Kim Jee-Woon's explosive action flick starring Arnold Schwarzenegger has been detailed for Blu-ray release in May.

As previously reported, Lionsgate is preparing 'The Last Stand' for Blu-ray. Though originally slated for April 30, the film will now be available on May 21st.

After leaving his LAPD narcotics post following a bungled operation that left him wracked with remorse and regret, Sheriff Ray Owens (Schwarzenegger) moved out of Los Angeles and settled into a life fighting what little crime takes place in sleepy border town Sommerton Junction. But that peaceful existence is shattered when Gabriel Cortez (Noriega), the most notorious, wanted drug kingpin in the western hemisphere, makes a deadly yet spectacular escape from an FBI prisoner convoy.

With the help of a fierce band of lawless mercenaries led by the icy Burrell (Stormare), Cortez begins racing towards the US-Mexico border at 250 mph in a specially-outfitted Corvette ZR1 with a hostage in tow. Cortez' path: straight through Summerton Junction, where the whole of the U.S. law enforcement, including Agent John Bannister (Whitaker) will have their final opportunity to intercept him before the violent fugitive slips across the border forever. At first reluctant to become involved, and then counted out because of the perceived ineptitude of his small town force, Owens ultimately rallies his team and takes the matter into his own hands, setting the stage for a classic showdown.

The Blu-ray/Digital Copy/UltraViolet Combo Pack will feature 1080p video, a DTS-HD MA 7.1 soundtrack, and supplements will include: Not In My Town: Making The Last Stand; Cornfield Chaos; The Dinkum Firearm and Historic Weaponry Museum; Actor-Cam Anarchy: with Johnny Knoxville and Jaimie Alexander; and Deleted/Extended & Alternate Scenes

Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $39.99.

Roman Coppola's comedy starring Charlie Sheen will have a winning Blu-ray release in May.

In an early announcement to retailers, Lionsgate will be bringing 'A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III' to Blu-ray on May 14.

Golden Globe® winner Charlie Sheen* (TV's "Anger Management," TV's "Two And A Half Men," TV's "Spin City") stars alongside Jason Schwartzman ('Moonrise Kingdom') and Academy Award® nominee Bill Murray (Best Actor in a Leading Role, 'Lost In Translation,' 2003) in the fascinating comedy 'A Glimpse Inside the Mind Of Charles Swan IIl.' Written and directed by Academy Award® nominee Roman Coppola (Best Writing - Original Screenplay, 'Moonrise Kingdom,' 2012), the delightfully imaginative film about one man's journey through a bad breakup is Coppola's return to full-length feature film directing.

Set in a stylized Los Angeles, Charles (Sheen) is a successful graphic designer whose fame, money and charm have provided him with a seemingly perfect life. When his true love, a perplexing beauty named Ivana (Winnick), suddenly breaks off their relationship, Charles' life falls apart and he swirls into a downward spiral of doubt, confusion and reflection. With the support of his loyal intimates - Kirby (Schwartzman), Saul (Murray) and his sister Izzy (Arquette) - he begins the hard road of self-evaluation to come to terms with a life without Ivana. Through it all, Charles seeks to answer the question: is it possible to love and hate someone at the same time?

The Blu-ray will feature 1080p video, a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack, and supplements include: Audio Commentary with Writer/Director Roman Coppola, "The Making of Charles Swan" featurette, and "A Glimpse Into the Mind of Charles White" - an interview.
