The Rover US DVD Release Date Confirmed *Updated*
Looks like we are getting plenty of Rob news and confirmations today.  We posted here about pre-orders and possible release date for The Rover in the US.  Now thanks to Blu-Ray.com the US DVD release for The Rover is confirmed as 23 September 2014.  Details below:
Here’s the press release from Lionsgate and cover art thanks to Home Theatre Forum:
:
Fueled by engaging performances from Golden Globe® nominee Guy Pearce (Memento, L.A. Confidential) and what Variety calls “a career-redefining performance from Robert Pattinson” (The Twilight Saga franchise, Cosmopolis), The Rover arrives on Blu-ray™ Disc (plus Digital HD) and DVD (plus Digital) September 23 from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. The tension-filled film, which was released theatrically by A24, was an Official Selection of the 2014 Cannes Film Festival. The Rover, directed by visionary writer/director David Michôd (Animal Kingdom), also stars Scoot McNairy (TV’s “Halt and Catch Fire,” upcoming Gone Girl).
Set in a world 10 years into the general collapse of society, The Rover follows hardened loner Eric (Pearce) as he travels the desolate towns and roads of the outback. When a gang of thieves steals his car, they leave behind a wounded Rey (Pattinson). Forcing Rey to help track the gang, Eric will go to any lengths to take back the one thing that still matters to him.
The Rover Blu-ray Disc and DVD include a “making of” featurette and will be available for the suggested retail price of $24.99 and $19.98, respectively.
