Lionsgate Films UK has officially announced that it will release on Blu-ray director Darren Aronofsky's thriller Pi (1998), starring Sean Gullette, Mark Margolis, and Ben Shenkman. The release will be available for purchase online and in stores across the United Kingdom on August 12th.
In his stunning debut feature film, Aronofsky tells the story of Maximillian Cohen's (Gullette) obsession with numbers and his theory that they hold the key to the answers of the universe. His work causes him agonising migraines and his former teacher Sol (Mark Margolis) advises him to take a break from trying to discover patterns in the stock market. When Max's super computer crashes after spitting out a 216-digit number, Max initially dismisses it, until the prediction comes true, and he realises that the number which he consigned to the trash could be the key he has been searching for.
