Ah, yes, just what we've been waiting for. In case you missed it while it was in theaters for two weeks, the Edgar Allen Poe flick starring John Cusack and directed by James McTiegue (motherfucking NINJA ASSASSIN), is now coming to blu-ray on October 9th. You know, just in time for Halloween and all that stuff. I personally did not see the film though I can't say I had much of an intention to either. I know that other GNW staff writers did and they did not have much good to say. It did not fare well theatrically, but this is the kind of thing that could do really well in the rental market especially in the fall. Fox are giving this a surprisingly strong package considering its not so succsfull run thus far. It will be a BD/DVD/DC combo pack and will include the following features:
- Commentary by director James McTeigue and producers Marc D. Evans, Trevor Macy, & Aaron Ryder
- Theatrical trailer
- Blu-ray exclusives:
- Deleted/extended scenes: - "Poetry Reading"
