Upcoming Shout Factory Blu-ray Releases

Posted November 9, 2020 08:14 PM by Webmaster

Shout Factory will add four new titles to its Blu-ray catalog. They are: Tesla (2020), Sputnik (2020), Centigrade (2020), and A Call to Spy (2019). The four releases will be available for purchase in February.

Tesla

Synopsis: Brilliant, visionary Nikola Tesla (Ethan Hawke, Training Day) fights an uphill battle to bring his revolutionary electrical system to fruition, then faces even thornier challenges with his new system for worldwide wireless energy. Tesla's uneasy interactions with his fellow inventor Thomas Edison (Kyle MacLachlan, Twin Peaks) and his patron George Westinghouse (Jim Gaffigan) are in sharp contrast to his sidewinding appeal to financial titan J.P. Morgan (Donnie Keshawarz). Meanwhile, Morgan's daughter Anne (Eve Hewson) takes a more than casual interest in the inventor. Anne analyzes and presents Tesla's story as it unfolds, offering a distinctly modern voice to this exhilarating, offbeat drama which, like its subject, defies convention.

Special Features and Technical Specs:
  • Behind the scenes of Tesla - Featurette
  • Theatrical Trailer
  • Audio Descriptive Track
  • Optional English and Spanish subtitles for the main feature
STREET DATE: FEBRUARY 2.

Centigrade

Synopsis:Inspired by real events, this harrowing film follows a young American couple, Matt and Naomi, as they travel through the Arctic mountains of Norway. After pulling over during a snowstorm, they wake up trapped in their SUV, buried underneath layers of snow and ice. As if the stakes aren't high enough for the pair, Naomi is eight months pregnant as they contemplate how to escape their frozen prison.

With few resources, a dwindling food supply, and nothing but time, the couple endure mounting tension, blame, and personal secrets bubbling to the surface. Matt and Naomi realize they must work together to survive in a crippling battle against the elements, hypothermia, disturbing hallucinations, and plunging temperatures reaching far below zero. Will they make it out of this alive?

With optional English and Spanish subtitles for the main feature.

STREET DATE: FEBRUARY 23.

A Call to Spy

As Great Britain's forces were stretched thin during World War II, Winston Churchill's Special Operations Executive began to enlist women as spies. Their daunting mission: conduct sabotage and build a resistance. Spymistress Vera Atkins, later the inspiration for Ian Fleming's Miss Moneypenny in the James Bond franchise, was the chief recruiter for this secret army. Atkins selected two unusual candidates: Virginia Hall, an American journalist from Baltimore with a wooden leg, and Noor Inayat Khan, a wireless officer of Indian descent and an avowed pacifist. Together, they worked to undermine the Nazi regime in France. The courage, sacrifices and grit of these three women helped quell the Nazi occupation – and ultimately turned the tide of the war.

With optional English and Spanish subtitles for the main feature.

STREET DATE: FEBRUARY 16.

Sputnik

Synopsis: Due to her controversial methods, Tatyana (Oksana Akinshina), a young doctor, is on the precipice of losing her medical license. Her career may not be over, though. After she's recruited by the military, she is brought to a secure science research facility to assess a very special case, that of a cosmonaut who survived a mysterious space accident and has returned to Earth with a unique condition: there's something living inside of him that only shows itself late at night. The military has nefarious plans for it. Tayiana wants to stop it from killing. And the creature itself thrives on destruction.

Combining the palpable fear of the unknown with the horror of bodily invasion, this hair-raising thriller turns the interstellar terror of Alien on its head, delivering something fresh to the interplanetary monster movie canon. And with its massive scale and brutal carnage, this sci-fi gem signals the arrival of a major new voice: first-time director Egor Abramenko.

Special Features and Technical Specs:
  • Theatrical Trailer
  • Audio Descriptive Track
  • Optional English subtitles for the main feature
