The touching and unconventional tale of teen romance is bound for Blu-ray in November.
In an early announcement to retailers, 20th Century Fox has slated 'The Art of Getting By' for Blu-ray on November 29.
Get caught up in the story of an aspiring young artist and a “popular” girl who find themselves in a charming yet unconventional high school romance. A Sundance Film Festival favorite, 'The Art of Getting By' is a delightful coming-of-age film set against the backdrop of New York City.
George (Freddie Highmore, 'Golden Compass,' 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'), a lonely and fatalistic teen who’s made it all the way to his senior year without ever having done a real day of work, is befriended by Sally (Emma Roberts, 'It’s Kind of a Funny Story,' 'What’s Wrong with Virginia'), a popular but complicated girl who recognizes in him a kindred spirit.
'The Art of Getting By' features stellar performances by an all-star supporting cast, including Michael Angarano ('Almost Famous'), Rita Wilson ('Jingle All the Way'), Sam Robards ('American Beauty'), Alicia Silverstone ('Clueless'), Elizabeth Reaser ('Twilight: Breaking Dawn'), and Blair Underwood (“Dirty Sexy Money”).
The Blu-ray will feature 1080p video, a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack, and supplements will include: Audio commentary with director Gavin Wiesen, New York Slice of Life featurette, On Young Love featurette, Fox Movie Channel featurette - In Character with Freddie Highmore, HBO First Look - The Making of The Art Of Getting By, and Theatrical trailer.
Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is still undetermined at this time.
