Promised Land (2012) Hits Blu-ray On April 23rd
Universal Studios Home Entertainment has announced and detailed the Blu-ray/DVD/UltraViolet Combo Pack release of director Gus Van Sant‘s Promised Land. The film stars Matt Damon, John Krasinski, Francis McDormand, Rosemarie DeWitt, and Hal Holbrook. The screenplay was written by Damon and Krasinski. Promised Land will be available online and in stores on April 23rd.
Damon stars as corporate salesman Steve Butler, whose journey from farm boy to big-time player takes an unexpected detour when he lands in the rural town of McKinley with partner Sue Thomason, played by McDormand. There to offer much-needed relief to the economically hard-hit residents, the pair begin strategically obtaining drilling rights to the home owners’ properties. What seems like an easy job for the duo, though, quickly becomes complicated by a respected schoolteacher (Holbrook), a slick environmental activist (Krasinski) and Butler’s interest in a local woman (DeWitt). As they grapple with a surprising array of open hearts and closed doors, the outsiders soon discover the strength of an American small town poised at a crossroads.
Promised Land was released in December of 2013 and grossed over $7 million at the box office.
The Blu-ray/DVD/Ultraviolet Combo Pack will include several special features, including: deleted scenes and The Making of Promised Land featurette.
