Alexander Payne's Academy Award-nominated film is planned for Blu-ray at the end of next month. Pre-orders are now live!
In an early announcement to retailers, Paramount will be releasing 'Nebraska' on Blu-ray on February 25.
Hailed as an American masterpiece, Nebraska is nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director (Alexander Payne), Best Actor (Bruce Dern), Best Original Screenplay (Bob Nelson), Best Supporting Actress (June Squibb) and Best Cinematography (Phedon Papamichael). The film was also named one of the best movies of the year by the AFI, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, New York Times, The New Yorker, Los Angeles Times, Variety, Huffington Post, Slate, the National Board of Review and numerous critics associations.
The film tells the captivating story of a father (Bruce Dern) and his adult son (Will Forte) who embark on a journey to claim a million-dollar prize; what begins as a fool's errand becomes a search for the road to redemption.
The Blu-ray/DVD/Ultraviolet Combo Pack will feature 1080p video, a lossless 3.0 soundtrack, and a multi-part The Making of Nebraska featurette.
