FilmFanSam · 05-08-2013, 05:42 PM

Entertainment One/Momentum Pictures will be bringing Jake Schreier's 'Robot & Frank' to Blu-ray in the UK and Ireland on July 15th, 2013.

Robot & Frank is a 2012 American film directed by Jake Schreier and written by Christopher Ford. Set in the near future, it focuses on Frank, an aging jewel thief played by Frank Langella, whose son buys him a domestic robot. Resistant at first, Frank warms up to the robot when he realizes he can use it to restart his career as a cat burglar. It was the first feature film for both Ford and Schreier and received critical acclaim for its writing, production, and acting. It won the Alfred P. Sloan Prize at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival.

The film also co-stars Susan Sarandon, James Marsden and Liv Tyler.

"Friendship doesn't have an off switch"

No. But it needs a shit-load of AAAs.

This looks pretty good. Frank Langella is always top-notch, he was a pretty good Dracula too!

It is an excellent film! Performances all round were top class! I own the Aussie Blu.

Aces! One of my favourite films of the year. Saw it at London Film Festival last year as well.

Great news! I was worried this might only get a DVD release here.

Did they announce the extra features?
Hopefully the audio commentary is included.

Absolutely fantastic Sci-Fi film. Clever, brilliantly acted, funny and touching.

Langella is amazing.

Nicely embossed and glossy Slipcover. Not sure if I'm digging the odd banner.

Confirmed Region-B locked. Picture and sound were both great, though.

amoergosum · 07-18-2013, 05:17 AM

Have you checked the special features?

FastAndFluid · 07-18-2013, 06:24 AM

Checked them for what? They're almost non-existent. Then again at £8.50 for a new release made within months of the theatrical release and including a slipcover I don't really feel I can complain.

Well, I was wondering if the audio commentary and the interview are actually included on the UK Blu-ray.

I will be picking this up once I get my region free player!

Great film, I must fish it out again to watch it soon. Frank Langella is a wonderful actor, and Susan Sarandon is always great.

Is this region free?

Never mind. Didn't see that.
