Will Smith and son Jaden Smith teamed up on-screen in M. Night Shyamalan’s After Earth, and we can now confirm that Sony’s big budget gamble is coming to Blu-ray and DVD on October 8.
After Earth was ravaged by critics and despite its $130 million production budget could barely break $60 million at the domestic box office. International markets helped partially bail it out with $184 million in business.
The Blu-ray will be presented in 1080p video and 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio and include a DVD and UltraViolet copy. Bonus features are as follows with the last four being exclusive to Blu-ray:
- A Father’s Legacy featurette – Will and Jaden Smith on and off screen
- 1,000 Years in 300 Seconds featurette – On Location with the Cast
- The Nature of the Future featurette – A look at the landscapes and creatures of the film
