The Critically-Acclaimed 'The Imitation Game' Bound for Blu-ray[teaser]The Academy Award winner for Best Adapted Screenplay arrives on Blu-ray at the end of next month. You can pre-order it now! [/teaser] In an early announcement to retailers, Starz/Anchor Bay is working on 'The Imitation Game' for Blu-ray on March 31. During the winter of 1952, British authorities entered the home of mathematician, cryptanalyst and war hero Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) to investigate a reported burglary. They instead ended up arresting Turing himself on charges of “gross indecency” – an accusation that would lead to his devastating conviction for the criminal offense of homosexuality. Little did officials know, they were actually incriminating the pioneer of modern-day computing. Famously leading a motley group of scholars, linguists, chess champions and intelligence officers, he was credited with cracking the so-called unbreakable codes of Germany's World War II Enigma machine. An intense and haunting portrayal of a brilliant, complicated man, THE IMITATION GAME is the story of a genius who under nail-biting pressure helped to shorten the war and, in turn, save thousands of lives. The Blu-ray will feature both the theatrical and unrated cuts with 1080p video, a lossless 5.1 soundtrack, and supplements include: The Making of THE IMITATION GAME, deleted scenes and special commentary.

David Weiss and Peter Fischli's 'The Way Things Go' Blu-ray Bound[teaser]The 1987 film from the Swiss artists is planned for Blu-ray in April. [/teaser] In an early announcement to retailers, Icarus Films is preparing to release 'The Way Things Go' on Blu-ray on April 14. Inside a warehouse, Swiss artists Peter Fischli (b. 1952) and David Weiss (1946–2012) built an enormous, precarious structure 100 feet long made out of common household items—tea kettles, tires, old shoes, balloons, wooden ramps, etc. Then, with fire, water, gravity and chemistry, they created a spectacular chain reaction, a self-destructing performance of physical interactions, chemical reactions, and precisely crafted chaos worthy of Rube Goldberg or Alfred Hitchcock. Called “the merry pranksters of contemporary art” (The New York Times), Fischli and Weiss collaborated for 33 years, drawing worldwide notoriety and praise for taking on big questions with humble materials and a tongue-in-cheek manner. THE WAY THINGS GO, now on Blu-ray for the first time, is their most acclaimed and beloved work. Specs and supplements have yet to be revealed, but suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $26.98.
