Amazon Blu-ray Deals of the Week: Christopher Nolan Collection and Justified (Expired)
Posted October 14, 2012 09:33 AM by Josh Katz
Amazon's Blu-ray Deals of the Week affect both Warner Home Entertainment's Christopher Nolan Director's Collection package as well as Sony Pictures Home Entertainment's first two Justified season sets.
Christopher Nolan Director's Collection brings together five films from the Academy Award-nominated filmmaker; the box set highlights, in particular, Nolan's ability to merge complex narrative and psychological developments with exciting action and suspense.
The Director's Collection offers each feature in a 2.39:1 aspect ratio with 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD soundtracks and a wide assortment of bonus supplements, including audio commentaries on selected features, behind-the-scenes documentaries, and a collectible book with photos, production stills, and making-of notes.
Through this week, the bundle is $24.49, or 51% off its SRP of $49.99.
Inspired by the work of author Elmore Leonard, these seasons of FX's critically acclaimed crime drama center on Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant, Deadwood), a U.S. Marshal whose quick-draw trigger and short temper lead to his reassignment from the Marshal's Florida office to Lexington, Kentucky, which lies uncomfortably close to Raylan's old home in Harlan County.
His superior officers assume that the change in locale will curb Raylan's violent tendencies, but a complicated relationship with his ex-wife Winona (Natalie Zea, The Other Guys), the influence of numerous home-grown criminal enterprises, and the reemergence of local outlaw Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins, Predators) make it difficult for Raylan to abandon his gunslinging ways.
Sony's sets include commentaries on selected Justified episodes, behind-the-scenes featurettes, interviews with cast and crew members, and deleted scenes.
Amazon is offering the Justified sets for 58% and 62% off their respective SRPs; Justified: The Complete First Season is $19.49 while Justified: The Complete Second Season is $21.49.
These deals expire at 12 AM PST/3 AM EST next Sunday, October 21st.
