Lionsgate Home Entertainment UK will release on Blu-ray James Franco's latest project As I Lay Dying (2013), starring James Franco, Logan Marshall-Green, Tim Blake Nelson, Danny McBride, and Richard Jenkins. The release will be available for purchase on June 23rd.
Adapted from the 1930 classic American novel by William Faulkner. The story chronicles the Bundren family as they traverse the Mississippi countryside to bring the body of their deceased mother Addie to her hometown for burial. Addie's husband Anse and their children, Cash, Darl, Jewel, Dewey Dell, and the youngest one Vardaman, leave the farm on a carriage with her coffin - each affected by Addie's death in a profound and different way. Their road trip to Jefferson, some forty miles away, is disrupted by every antagonistic force of nature or man: flooded rivers, injury and accident, a raging barn fire, and not least of all -- each individual character s personal turmoil and inner commotion which at times threaten the fabric of the family more than any outside force.
Currently, there are no special features announced for this upcoming release.
Note: In the United States, Millennium Media has already released As I Lay Dying on DVD. See our listing of this release here.
