Universal Studios Home Entertainment has announced and detailed the Blu-ray/DVD/UltraViolet Combo Pack release of director Gus Van Sant's Promised Land, which stars screenwriters Matt Damon and John Krasinski, along with Francis McDormand, Rosemarie DeWitt and Hal Holbrook. The topical environmental drama is available for pre-order and streets on April 23rd.
Damon stars as corporate salesman Steve Butler, whose journey from farm boy to big-time player takes an unexpected detour when he lands in the rural town of McKinley with partner Sue Thomason, played by McDormand. There to offer much-needed relief to the economically hard-hit residents, the pair begin strategically obtaining drilling rights to the home owners' properties. What seems like an easy job for the duo, though, quickly becomes complicated by a respected schoolteacher (Holbrook), a slick environmental activist (Krasinski) and Butler's interest in a local woman (DeWitt). As they grapple with a surprising array of open hearts and closed doors, the outsiders soon discover the strength of an American small town poised at a crossroads.
Special features include Deleted Scenes and "The Making of Promised Land."
