20th Century Studios and Disney are preparing a Blu-ray release of Hikari's Rental Family (2025), starring Brendan Fraser, Takehiro Hira, Mari Yamamoto, and Akira Emoto. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on February 17.
Description: Set in modern-day Tokyo, HIKARI's Rental Family stars Academy Award®–winning Brendan Fraser as a has-been American actor searching for purpose and belonging in a society where he feels increasingly adrift. An unexpected acting call leads him to a "rental family" agency, where he is hired to play stand-in roles for strangers seeking connection. As performance begins to blur with reality, the immersive role-playing awakens his humanity and compassion, drawing him deeply into his clients' lives and pushing him off-script whenever his empathetic heart takes over. Searchlight's Rental Family channels the emotional depth of award-winning director, producer, and co-writer HIKARI (Beef, Tokyo Vice, 37 Seconds), who believes cinema "allows us to view others with empathy, creates space for conversation, and see parts of ourselves we did not know existed."
Produced by Eddie Vaisman, p.g.a, Julia Lebedev, p.g.a, HIKARI, p.g.a, and Shin Yamaguchi, p.g.a, Rental Family also stars Takehiro Hira, Mari Yamamoto, Shannon Gorman, and Akira Emoto.
Searchlight Pictures' Rental Family has captured the hearts of audiences and critics alike, praised as "universally resonant" (Clayton Davis, Variety) and "poignant and humorous" (Frank Scheck, The Hollywood Reporter). The film is also certified on Rotten Tomatoes® as Verified Hot with a 96% Popcornmeter score and holds an 88% Certified Fresh Tomatometer rating from critics.
Audiences of all ages can embrace the refreshing warmth and humanity of Rental Family whenever they're in need of humor and connection, now available to add to your movie collection on Blu-ray.
