Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has announced that it will release on Blu-ray Edward Norton's second feature film Motherless Brooklyn (2019), starring Bruce Willis, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Willem Dafoe, Edward Norton, and Alec Baldwin. The release will be available for purchase on January 28.
Studio description: From the Oscar-nominated director-writer-producer-star Edward Norton ("Birdman," "American History X," "Primal Fear") comes the magnetic drama "Motherless Brooklyn." Inspired by Jonathan Lethem's novel by the same name, Norton aimed to transpose Lethem's contemporary characters into a different period and plot and gave it a distinctive atmosphere by re-setting the drama in the 1950s—a time of great change in New York City.
The film's stellar ensemble cast includes Bruce Willis (the "Die Hard" films, "Moonrise Kingdom"), Gugu Mbatha-Raw ("A Wrinkle in Time," "Beyond the Lights"), Bobby Cannavale ("I, Tonya"), Cherry Jones ("Boy Erased," TV's "24"), Michael Kenneth Williams ("When They See Us," TV's "The Wire"), Leslie Mann ("The Other Woman," "Blockers"), Ethan Suplee ("The Wolf of Wall Street"), Dallas Roberts ("Dallas Buyers Club"), Josh Pais ("The Joker," TV's "Ray Donovan"), Robert Ray Wisdom (TV's "The Fix"), Fisher Stevens (TV's "The Blacklist"), Oscar nominee Alec Baldwin ("The Cooler," "BlacKkKlansman," "The Departed") and Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe ("At Eternity's Gate," "The Florida Project").
Norton produced "Motherless Brooklyn" with his Class 5 Films producing partner Bill Migliore, and MWM Studios' Gigi Pritzker and Rachel Shane, and Michael Bederman. Adrian Alperovich, Sue Kroll, Daniel Nadler, Robert F. Smith and Brian Niranjan Sheth served as executive producers.
Behind the scenes, Norton collaborated with two-time Oscar-nominated director of photography Dick Pope ("Mr. Turner," "The Illusionist"), production designer Beth Mickle ("Drive," "Collateral Beauty"), Oscar-nominated editor Joe Klotz ("Precious," "The Butler") and costume designer Amy Roth (TV's "The Looming Tower," "Indignation").
Music plays an important role in setting the tone and establishing the period of "Motherless Brooklyn." The Golden Globe-nominated score is composed by Daniel Pemberton ("Steve Jobs," "All the Money in the World," "Oceans 8," "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse"), and features Wynton Marsalis on the trumpet. The film also features an original song written and performed by Thom Yorke.
