Paramount Pictures have released details on the UK DVD and Blu-ray release of this summers biggest blockbuster, Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Released in the US today – an extra-special Friday release no less – the film doesn’t hit UK stores until November 28th 2011. And that will, like the US release, be a bare-bones affair sans any extras, I hate to say it, but no doubt swiftly released to cash in on the Christmas market. Hopefully there will be a special edition next year for the real Transformers fans out there like myself (and yes, before you ask, I did like the third film).
From the press release:
Spectacular action, stunning visual effects, non-stop thrills and fan-favourite characters including OPTIMUS PRIME, BUMBLEBEE and Sam Witwicky rocketed Transformers: Dark of the Moon into the stratosphere, with the latest instalment of the wildly popular TRANSFORMERS franchise surpassing its predecessors to earn over $1.1 billion at the worldwide box office.
From Paramount Pictures in association with Hasbro, the breathtaking film redefines the scale, scope and emotional impact of what a blockbuster can be with the ongoing epic story of the mighty AUTOBOTS in a thrill-packed adventure that the whole family can enjoy. Distributed by Paramount Home Entertainment, the film will debut on Blu-ray Triple Play (Blu-ray, DVD + Digital Copy) and DVD on Monday, November 28, 2011.
From director Michael Bay and executive producer Steven Spielberg, in association with Hasbro, Transformers: Dark of the Moon explodes with high-octane action when a mysterious event from Earth’s past erupts into the present day threatening to bring a war to Earth so big that the TRANSFORMERS alone will not be able to save us. Introducing British newcomer Rosie Huntington-Whiteley alongside stars Shia LaBeouf (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull), Josh Duhamel (Life As We Know It), Tyrese Gibson (Four Brothers) and John Turturro (The Good Shepherd) have returned along with a host of new stars including Patrick Dempsey (“Grey’s Anatomy”), Frances McDormand (Fargo) and John Malkovich (Beowulf). The film also features the voices of Leonard Nimoy (“Star Trek”) and Hugo Weaving (Captain America: The First Avenger).
