Shout Factory has dated two upcoming Blu-ray releases: Iain Softley's Backbeat (1994) and Mike Newell's Four Weddings and a Funeral. The two releases will be available for purchase in February.
Supplemental features to be included on these upcoming releases have not yet been finalized. They will be revealed as the street date approaches.
Backbeat
Synopsis: Directed by Iain Softley (Hackers), Backbeat is an energetic, musical drama chronicling the pre-fame Beatles as they head to Hamburg in search of success. As they gain popularity, the "fifth Beatle," bass guitarist Stuart Sutcliffe (Stephen Dorff), falls in love and ultimately must choose between his best friend John Lennon (Ian Hart), his new love Astrid (Sheryl Lee), and the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world. Full of vitality and heart, and featuring a soundtrack that includes music from Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), David Pirner (Soul Asylum) and Mike Mills (R.E.M.), "Backbeat is a thrilling spectacle that rocks the house ... Defiant, raucous, erotic" (Rolling Stone).
STREET DATE: FEBRUARY 19.
Four Weddings and a Funeral
Synopsis: The champagne is flowing — and so is the fun — in this "delightful and sly" (Roger Ebert) romantic comedy about two people who belong together but just can't seem to tie the knot.
Charlie (Hugh Grant, Bridget Jones's Diary) is always a best man but never a groom. Determined to avoid commitment at all costs, the handsome and charming Charlie is in for the surprise of his life when he catches a glimpse of the beguiling Carrie (Andie MacDowell, Groundhog Day) ... and now this confirmed bachelor is no longer so confirmed, as he finds himself caught up in the dance of laughter and love.
Bolstered by a sparkling screenplay from Richard Curtis (Love Actually) and an outstanding ensemble cast, including Kristin Scott Thomas (The English Patient), and Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean), Four Weddings And A Funeral is a delightfully engaging occasion that you can't afford to miss!
STREET DATE: FEBRUARY 12.
