The action-thriller will target both formats this December.
In an early announcement to retailers, Lionsgate is preparing 'American Assassin' for a Blu-ray and Ultra HD Blu-ray release on December 5.
American Assassin follows the rise of Mitch Rapp (Dylan O’Brien), a CIA black-ops recruit under the instruction of Cold War veteran Stan Hurley (Michael Keaton). The pair is then enlisted by CIA Deputy Director Irene Kennedy (Sanaa Lathan) to investigate a wave of apparently random attacks on both military and civilian targets. Together, the three discover a pattern in the violence, leading them to a joint mission with a lethal Turkish agent (Shiva Negar) to stop a mysterious operative (Taylor Kitsch) intent on settling a personal and professional vendetta that could have cataclysmic results.
Each release will feature a Dolby Atmos soundtrack and supplements include: Alamo Drafthouse Q&A with Dylan O’Brien and Taylor Kitsch; Target Acquired: Creating an American Assassin” Featurette; “Finding Mitch Rapp: Dylan O’Brien” Featurette; “Transfer of Power: Hurley and Ghost” Featurette; “Weaponized: Training and Stunts” Featurette; and “In the Field: Locations” Featurette.
