PlayStation’s ‘Heavenly Sword’ is Reborn in Fantasy Film on Blu-ray!

I have to admit, I was a huge fan of Heavenly Sword back in the early Sony PlayStation 3 days when this game made its debut.  The graphics and gameplay were simply amazing and till this day it’s still one of the games I managed to keep in my very small PS3 collection.  But low and behold people…a deity is reborn in the fantasy film adaptation, which I heard so much about already, on Blu-ray September 2nd!  I cannot be the only one excited for this title, can I?  Well, if you don’t know what Heavenly Sword is all about, then I suggest you take this time to review the below press release and find out everything you need to know!

Los Angeles, CA – An apocalypse is inevitable when Heavenly Sword slices and dices onto Blu-ray, DVD and Digital September 2 from Cinedigm (NASDAQ: CIDM). Based on Sony PlayStation’s bestselling video game of the same name, the action-packed CG animation boasts an all-star voice cast including Anna Torv (“Fringe”), Alfred Molina (Spider-man 2, Chocolate) and Thomas Jane (“Hung,” The Mist).

A dramatic tale of revenge, Heavenly Sword centers on Nariko (Torv), a trained warrior with flaring red hair, who gracefully possesses a titular, heavily sought after blade with incredible powers. As the sword’s guardian, she must face a megalomaniacal ruler King Bohan (Molina) and his unyielding army, who are determined to obtain the powerful sword for their own manipulation.

As one of “the most anticipated movies based on video games” (Gamepur), the Blu-ray and DVD are packed with bonus footage including behind-the-scenes interviews with the cast and filmmakers. The film will also be available on the Sony Playstation Network.

Heavenly Sword was brought to Cinedigm by TriCoast Worldwide, who represent the producers, Blockade Entertainment and Film Financial Services.
