John Wells' acclaimed dramedy will be released on Blu-ray in April. Pre-orders are available here.
In an early announcement to retailers, Starz/Anchor Bay will be releasing 'August: Osage County' on Blu-ray on April 8.
Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts star in the darkly hilarious and deeply touching story of the strong-willed women of the Weston family, whose lives converge when a family crisis brings them back to the Midwest house they grew up in, and to the dysfunctional mother who raised them. 'August: Osage County' is based on the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama-winning play by Tracy Letts, who is also known as Andrew Lockhart on Showtime's "Homeland." Director John Wells, best known as executive producer and showrunner of hit television series "ER," "The West Wing" and "Shameless," skillfully translates from stage to screen, leading an all-star cast.
The Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack will feature 1080p video, a lossless 5.1 soundtrack, and supplements will include: Audio Commentary with Director John Wells and Cinematographer Adriano Goldman; Deleted Scenes with Commentary by Wells and Goldman; The Making of August: Osage County; and Writing Featurette with Tracy Letts.
Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $39.99.
