The Blu-ray release will include both those features, along with additional U-Control ("Picture in Picture", "Washington, D.C. Locations") and BD-Live ("My Scenes Sharing", "Download Center") features. We've attached our first look at the official package artwork below:


Quote: Academy Award®-winner Russell Crowe leads an all-star cast, including Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams & Helen Mirren in the gripping thriller about deception, manipulation & corruption. When D.C. Reporter Cal McCaffrey (Crowe) is assigned to investigate the murder of an assistant to an up-and-coming politician (Affleck), he uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to bring down the nation’s power structures. In a town of spin-doctors and wealthy power brokers, he will discover one truth: when fortunes are at stake, no one’s integrity, love or life is safe. From director Kevin Macdonald of The Last King of Scotland, State of Play brings together strong performances, riveting suspense and is “sophisticated, intelligent and powerful” (Shawn Edwards, Fox-TV).

Cool cover. Can't wait for it.
Looked good. Will check it out. I love Rachel McAdams.
love PiP tracks
Very good thriller. I would have really enjoyed it had the people sitting behind me at the theatre not narrated every plot twist. Geez.
Pretty good artwork.
Boxed headshots and atmospheric photos are the new floating heads.
This was great but the tacked on extra reveal at the end of pretty worthless and took the sheen off of the overall for me.
I agree with c**p like paul blart and transformers but i still didnt get too into this, i just eventually got bored with it
Yeah the cover is not so bad. But this tendency Universal has by using "blocks" of images all cluttered to form the covers for their DVD/Blu-ray's are getting ridiculous by now. The same thing with can be said with the Burn After Reading cover. And maybe with the Frost/Nixon and Milk covers, but those are the least passable.
I liked it, but the original mini-series is better. One of the better cluttered DVD covers I have seen.
I was far more interested in this film before Crowe replaced Pitt and Affleck replaced Norton. I'm still planning on catching it at some point, I'm just less enthused about it now.
I enjoyed this movie. It was a pleasant surprise. Too bad people are afraid of good movies and spend their money watching Paul Blart and such.
I had high expectations for this, and left the theatre feeling very satisfied.
Day one pick-up.
Day one pick-up.
i thought this one looked a little generic. hopefully it'll be as good as everyone's saying. i'll rent it.
Artwork added...
This one is gonna be awhile. Never was able to check it out. Will have to try.
Great film. Very underrated too. People don't take time to recognize the better films of 2009. Their all bugging with friggin' Transformers which was c**p.
