'Savages' Announced and Detailed for Blu-ray

Posted Aug 23, 2012 at 01:00 PM PDT by Tom Landy

Oliver Stone's adaptation of the best-selling novel by Don Winslow is in the works for Blu-ray this October.

In an early announcement to retailers, Universal Studios says 'Savages' will have a Blu-ray release on October 23.

Laguna Beach entrepreneurs Ben, a peaceful and charitable Buddhist, and his closest friend Chon, a former Navy SEAL and ex-mercenary, run a lucrative, homegrown industry - raising some of the best marijuana ever developed. They also share a one-of-a-kind love with the extraordinary beauty Ophelia. Life is idyllic in their Southern California town....until the Mexican Baja Cartel decides to move in and demands that the trio partners with them. When the merciless head of the BC, Elena, and her brutal enforcer, Lado, underestimate the unbreakable bond among these three friends, Ben and Chon - with the reluctant, slippery assistance of a dirty DEA agent - wage a seemingly unwinnable war against the cartel.

The Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack will feature 1080p video, a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack, and supplements will include: Feature Commentary with director Oliver Stone; Feature Commentary with producers Moritz Borman, Eric Kopeloff, Co-Screenwriter/Novelist Don Winslow, Executive Producer/Co-Screenwriter Shane Salerno and Production Designer Tomás Voth; Stone Cold Savages – A five-part profile of the film showcases the entire cast and crew as Oliver Stone pushes his loyal and talented company far past their limits in order to bring this story to life; Deleted Scenes; pocket BLU; Advanced Remote Control; Mobile-To-Go; and BD Live.

Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $34.98.
