Summit Entertainment has officially announced that on May 31 it will release Drive Angry on Blu-ray, in two editions, 2D and 3D. Thus, this is Summit's first release using the Blu-ray 3D specification. This action movie, starring Nicolas Cage and Amber Heard, was shot natively in 3D, not converted. Stereoscopy notwithstanding, the movie flopped, drawing only $10 million at the box office.

Special features for both editions include:
Audio commentary with filmmakers Patrick Lussier and Toidd Farmer
Access: Drive Angry - activate dynamic "scene specific" features including interviews with cast and filmmakers, track the body count in Milton's Mayem, and more
Deleted scenes with filmmaker commentary

Damn, i thought it would be out by the end of the month

Miadaskate · 03-19-2011, 04:13 PM

lol, this does not surprise me at all, as this film was god awful.

bigkatninja · 03-19-2011, 05:12 PM

The movie was not that bad. The 3d was ok. The movie stole a part from shoot them up.

Like it ever had a chance to be good? Its one of those "Hey lets make a film to take advantage of silly 3D". Nevermind a good plot or story or acting or anything other positive things.

......says the guy w/ the cg Yoda avatar.

"Those who live in glass houses......"

Drive Angry 3D was one of the best blind-buys I've made on the format. Heard & Fitchner are incredible, and this is the perfect "vehicle" (

) for Cage. Not every movie has to have Oscar-caliber performances/writing/directing (like, I-dunno, the Star Wars prequels for instance) to be an entertaining and fun "ride".

Movies of this style don't require a good plot, story, or acting. They need to be highly entertaining, that is all. If it tried to take itself seriously, it would have failed miserably since this kind of a movie shouldn't be like that.

Says who? I think every movie should take itself seriously... This whole notion of movies being bad on purpose has been around a while, sure, but it was always relegated to B pictures or very low budget films... not big Hollywood productions.

I think good characters/plot/etc MAKES a movie highly entertaining. If its just stupid impossible stunts and such, that's not really a movie. I think that's precisely the PROBLEM with movies these days... everyone gives pieces of junk a "pass" by using the EXCUSE that it doesn't have to be good. Well I call B.S... that's why so many bad movies get made, because people will go see them no matter if they are good or not.

Really, how so? Can you post their "official" individual release thread? I seriously doubt theres any in existence besides the one I posted

philip74 · 03-21-2011, 09:14 PM

i'm curious if the 3d version will also have a 2d option!?

I think they usually do

philip74 · 03-21-2011, 10:05 PM

for sony yes, but don't other companies like disney put their 3d versions on seperate discs? then again, i guess they always come in combo packs with
the 2d version included.
was just wondering how summit will handle it, since its their first 3d
release.
i really like summits releases though, their new release prices are
always very fair (except for twilight) and they seem to understand the
fact that slipsleeves are very much appreciated

hardtosayx · 03-21-2011, 10:19 PM

I'm pretty sure it will. The trade ad has all the same Bonus Features and they're all in 2D

AcidRain · 03-21-2011, 10:56 PM

i hear universal will start to release their 3d movies in flipper disc, one side the 3d and on the other the 2d maybe summit will do the same ... j/k but it could happen.

OrlandoEastwood · 03-21-2011, 11:58 PM

I'll buy the 3D release since it's a combo pack with the regular 2D Blu-ray. Just in case one day I buy a 3D projector.

Ite · 03-22-2011, 01:26 AM

I worry for Cage's career with all his recent box office bombs.

Todd_Gaines · 03-22-2011, 02:45 AM

should be worth a NF rental...
