Anchor Bay Entertainment and The Weinstein Company have officially announced the Blu-ray release of director John Wells' August: Osage County, starring Meryl Streep (in a Golden Globe and Academy Award-nominated Best Actress performance), Julia Roberts, Ewan McGregor, Chris Cooper, Abigail Breslin, Benedict Cumberbatch, Juliette Lewis, Dermot Mulroney and Sam Shepard. The critically acclaimed drama arrives on Blu-ray on April 8th.
Streep and Roberts star in the darkly hilarious and deeply touching story of the strong-willed women of the Weston family, whose lives converge when a family crisis brings them back to the Midwest house they grew up in, and to the dysfunctional mother who raised them. August: Osage County is based on the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama-winning play by Tracy Letts, who is also known as Andrew Lockhart on Showtime's Homeland. Director John Wells, best known as executive producer and showrunner of hit television series ER, The West Wing and Shameless, skillfully translates from stage to screen, leading an all-star cast.
August: Osage County is presented in 1080p with DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround. Special features include:
Audio Commentary with Director John Wells and Cinematographer Adriano Goldman
