'Barrymore' Announced and Detailed for Blu-ray

The critically-acclaimed drama starring Christopher Plummer will be released on Blu-ray in May.

In an early announcement to retailers, Image Entertainment is preparing 'Barrymore' for Blu-ray on May 7.

Hot on the heels of Plummer's Best Supporting Actor Oscar for 'Beginners' last year, the octogenarian star of stage and screen delivers his most affecting performance yet. 'Barrymore' was released theatrically by BY Experience and Image Entertainment in New York and Los Angeles in November of 2012. The Los Angeles Times then enthused, "Christopher Plummer is a mischievous delight as the great John Barrymore, intent on a stage comeback." Barrymore was also recently nominated for two PRISM Awards including Performance in a Feature Film.

The screen version of the William Luce play by the same name, 'Barrymore' had its world premiere at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival. It was adapted by writer-director Érik Canuel from the 1996 Broadway production for which Plummer won a Tony™ Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in 1997. Plummer, 82, has long had a fascination with the title character, and it shows. The Village Voice exclaimed, "Christopher Plummer re-creates his Tony-winning performance as the charming louse in his booze-addled final days. Blessed with a script that is witty, insightful to the workings of the narcissistic Hollywood psyche, and often wonderfully bitchy, the film is also a wistful look at faded dreams and opportunities lost due to both the vagaries of the business and self-sabotage."

Of Plummer's performance, noted critic Rex Reed proclaimed, "It’s the role—and the performance-- of a lifetime, and he plays every color, nuance, mood shift and variety of vocal power and body language in his enormous range. The artistry leaves you with your mouth wide open." Scott Feinberg of The Hollywood Reporter exclaims, "Christopher Plummer could be back in Oscar contention this fall for his portrayal of legendary actor John Barrymore." And the New York Times' Manohla Dargis succinctly sums it up with, "The performance is the thing."

The Blu-ray will feature 1080p video, DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 audio and will include Backstage With Barrymore, featuring Helen Mirren, Julie Andrews and Zoe Caldwell.

Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $39.98.

The thrilling action-adventure soars to Blu-ray in March.

In an early announcement to retailers, Image Entertainment is preparing 'Day of the Falcon' for Blu-ray on March 26.

The film about star-crossed lovers, ancient traditions, family pride...and oil is directed by award-winning director Jean-Jacques Annaud ('Enemy at the Gates,' 'Seven Days in Tibet') and boasts an international all-star cast including Antonio Banderas ('Desperado,' 'Puss in Boots'), Mark Strong ('Zero Dark Thirty,' 'Sherlock Holmes'), Freida Pinto ('Rise of the Planet of the Apes,' 'Slumdog Millionaire') and Tahar Rahim ('The Eagle'), 'Day of the Falcon' is a soaring epic of honor, greed, betrayal, and love.

With a screenplay by Annaud, Alain Godard ('The Name of the Rose,' 'Enemy at the Gates') and Academy-Award nominee Menno Meyjes ('The Color Purple,' 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade'), and featuring a breathtaking score from Academy-Award winner James Horner ('Avatar,' 'Titanic,' 'Braveheart'), 'Day of the Falcon' unfolds amidst the arid landscape of the Middle East in the early part of the 20th century.

But when oil is discovered between their territories, the war is re-ignited. Now it is up to their children (Rahim and Pinto) – young lovers who have married in hopes of bringing the families together – to find a way to end the violence and bring peace to the land.

The latest Spike Lee Joint arrives on Blu-ray this month.

Image Entertainment is set to release 'Red Hook Summer' on Blu-ray on December 21.

'Red Hook Summer' tells the story of Flik Royale, a sullen boy from middle-class Atlanta who has come to spend the summer with the religious grandfather he's never met before, Bishop Enoch Rouse, in the housing projects of Red Hook. Things quickly get off on the wrong foot, as Bishop Enoch relentlessly attempts to convert Flik into a follower of Jesus Christ. Between his grandfather's constant preaching and the culture shock of inner-city life, Flik's summer appears to be a total disaster--until he meets Chazz Morningstar, a pretty girl his age, who shows Flik the brighter side of Brooklyn. Through both the love of his new found friend and, eventually, his grandfather, Flik begins to realize that the world is a lot bigger than he'd ever imagined.

Specs have yet to be revealed, but supplements include a director's commentary, a behind the scenes featurette, and a music video.

Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $29.97.
