Oscar Winners Michael Douglas and Susan Sarandon and Emmy Winners Mary-Louise Parker and Danny DeVito Star in SOLITARY MAN
Available on Blu-ray™ and DVD on Tuesday, September 7th from Anchor Bay Entertainment
BEVERLY HILLS, CA — The critically acclaimed Solitary Man, a perceptive and candid portrait of a man whose winning ability to draw people in might also cause him to lose everything and everyone he cares about, comes to Blu-ray™ and DVD from Anchor Bay Entertainment on September 7th, 2010. Starring Academy Award® winner Michael Douglas, and from the makers of Rounders and the Academy Award® nominated The Illusionist, Solitary Man will be available for an SRP of $39.99 for the Blu-ray™ and $29.98 for the DVD.
A critical favorite during its theatrical run, Solitary Man also stars Mary-Louise Parker (“Weeds”) Jenna Fisher (“The Office”), Jesse Eisenberg (Holy Rollers, Zombieland), Imogen Poots (28 Days Later) with Susan Sarandon (Wall Street II, The Lovely Bones) and Danny DeVito (“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”) – whom Douglas has co-starred in several films with over the years, including Romancing the Stone, Jewel of the Nile, and The War of the Roses.
Michael Douglas, as Ben Kalmen, leads a brilliant all-star cast with his “triumphant performance” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone) in this smart and sophisticated comedy. Ben had a thriving career, a beautiful family, and a luxury apartment in the heart of Manhattan, but the same irresistible charm that got him to the top is also the cause of his downfall. He desperately attempts to regain his status the only way he knows how: through a woman. But when his wandering eye turns to the wrong woman, he looks to his family, and long time friend (Danny DeVito), to help get him back on his feet again – only this time he’s got nothing to lose.
The Solitary Man Blu-ray™ and DVD include the following special features:
• Audio Commentary with Writer/Director Brian Koppelman, Director David Levien and Actor Douglas McGrath
• Solitary Man: Alone in a Crowd – Behind the scenes with the cast of Solitary Man
• Theatrical Trailer
