From Paris With Love Explodes on Blu-ray!
Here’s a title that Gregg Senko will be excited to see on the Blu-ray format. It was actually the first decent movie he and I both saw in the bleak calendar year of 2010. You can read all about it in his review here. In an early retail announcment, Lionsgate has set a June 8th Blu-ray release date for the John Travolta explosive action thriller From Paris With Love. I have included the short press release below that Lionsgate sent out late yesterday. Check it out and make sure to pick up this fun action caper on Blu-ray this June. It’s not exactly original, but the over-the-top action and hilarious John Travolta scenes makes it well worth a looksee.
Two-time Academy Award® nominee John Travolta and three-time Golden Globe® nominee Jonathan Rhys Meyers join forces in the high-octane action thriller, From Paris With Love. Hailed as “one of the best action movies this year,” (Los Angeles Examiner) From Paris With Love arrives as a 2-disc Blu-ray Set which includes Digital Copy – and is also available as a separate DVD and as a digital download. Both the DVD and Blu-ray Disc are loaded with bonus materials including numerous featurettes highlighted by a “making-of,” audio commentary or picture-in-picture commentary (on the Blu-ray) with Director Pierre Morel plus a Trivia Game.
Trigger-happy special agent Charlie Wax (Travolta) leads rookie James Reese (Rhys Meyers) on a high-speed shooting frenzy through the Parisian underworld during a high-stakes CIA mission to foil a terrorist attack planned on the city. Before Reese realizes he’s bitten off more than he can chew, the duo discovers that he’s a target of the same crime ring planning the attack. With only 48 hours to save the city, there is no turning back and only one deadly way out. Pack your bags and get ready for a serious adrenaline-rush of adventure!
I will certainly buy this movie when the time is right. At $27 though, it’s a bit steep…especially when other spy movies like the Bond flicks can be had cheaper.
But all pre-orders start off at this price at first. The secret is to pre-order them at this price NOW so when they fall below $25 on Amazon closer to release date you still get the free shipping dude.
