Summit Entertainment has announced a June 4 Blu-ray and DVD release date for Jonathan Levine’s zombie infested romantic comedy Warm Bodies starring Nicholas Hoult, Teresa Palmer, Rob Corddry, Dave Franco, Analeigh Tipton, Cory Hardrict and John Malkovich. An HD digital version will be available to download beginning three weeks earlier on May 14.
Warm Bodies received a “warm” box office reception to the tune of $65 million, well above its reported $35 million production budget. Based on the book by Isaac Marion and adapted for the screen by writer and director Levine, the story follows an unusual zombie named R who rescues a human girl from certain doom and forms a bond with her. The more time the pair spend together, the more human R becomes. Our own Jon Hueber wrote in his Warm Bodies review that the film was “funny, sometimes laugh-out-loud funny” and includes a “well-crafted soundtrack [that] truly drives the film into another territory.”
The Blu-ray edition of Warm Bodies will also include a digital copy and UltraViolet (but not DVD). The feature film will be presented in 2.4:1 1080p video and 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio with the following supplements:
- “Boy Meets, ER, Doesn’t Eat Girl” featurette
- “R&J” featurette
