We've now received the artwork for this new film starring Michael Shannon
Title: Take Shelter (IMDb)
Starring: Michael Shannon
Released: 14th February 2012
SRP: $30.99 (DVD)
Further Details:
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced a DVD release of Take Shelter which stars Michael Shannon, and Jessica Chastain. The disc will be available to own from February 14th, and should retail at around $30.99. Extras will include commentary with Jeff Nichols & Michael Shannon, 2 featurettes ("Behind the Scenes of Take Shelter", "Better Safe Than Sorry"), and a Q&A with Michael Shannon & Shea Whigham. The official package artwork is attached below:
Quote: Following his acclaimed debut, Shotgun Stories, writer/director Jeff Nichols reteams with actor Michael Shannon to create a haunting tale that will creep under your skin and expose your darkest fears. Curtis LaForche lives in a small town in Ohio with his wife, Samantha, and daughter, Hannah, a six-year-old deaf girl. When Curtis begins to have terrifying dreams, he keeps the visions to himself, channeling his anxiety into obsessively building a storm shelter in his backyard. His seemingly inexplicable behavior concerns and confounds those closest to him, but the resulting strain on his marriage and tension within his community can’t compare with Curtis’s privately held fear of what his dreams may truly signify. Take Shelter features fully realized characters crumbling under the weight of real-life problems. Using tone and atmosphere to chilling effect, Nichols crafts a powerful psychological thriller that is a disturbing tale for our times.

One of my favorites this year. Does a great job of creating that guttural feeling of dread, and Shannon is frighteningly good. They need to announce a blu-ray soon.

Can't wait to see this. I was so frustrated that my local theater didn't pick it up when they pick up all sorts of artsy, under the radar indie films.
Van Alden is good in whatever movie he appears in
Umm, where's the Blu-ray? Really want to see this.
I emailed Sony Pictures Classics about whether or not this will be released on Blu-ray, and they said that "this will definitely be released on Blu-Ray as well as DVD. No date has been announced yet though."

oh thank goodness

Strange that they have not unveiled the Blu-ray release...even more strange that they are not releasing it exclusively as a BR/DVD combo, as many SPC releases have been lately...and that cover art just does not appeal to me at all; they should have stuck with the theatrical poster.
Nonetheless, it is my favorite of 2011, by far. If they do not release the BR the same day as the DVD, I will not hesitate to pick up the latter to tide me over until the former is out.
