Anchor Bay Entertainment will be distributing The Disappearance of Alice Creed on DVD and Blu-Ray November 23rd. This is director J. Blakeson's first film and Alice has been described as "a crisp, tense thriller," by Mark Olsen at the Los Angeles Times. Extra features on the release include a director's commentary, storyboard featurettes, and extended scenes with commentary. The MSRP for the Blu-Ray is $34.99 and the DVD is priced at $29.97. Both will be presented in extraordinary Dolby 5.1 Surround. Also, the first five minutes of the film can be found inside at an internal link, for those unfamiliar with the film. All the details are below.
Tagline:
"This Fall, be careful who you kidnap" (Anchor).
A synopsis for The Disappearance of Alice Creed here:
"On a suburban street, two masked men seize a young woman. They bind and gag her and take her to an abandoned, soundproofed apartment. She is Alice Creed (Gemma Arterton), daughter of a millionaire. Her kidnappers, the coldly efficient Vic (Eddie Marsan) and his younger accomplice Danny (Martin Compston), have worked out a meticulous plan. But Alice is not going to play the perfect victim – she isn’t about to let her captors use her as capital without a fight.
Alice enters into a battle of wills which strains the already fractious relationship between the two men. As the deadline for the exchange draws nearer, all three are brought close to the breaking point, with Vic and Danny’s foolproof plan descending into a desperate struggle for survival. In a tense power-play of greed, duplicity, and survival we discover that sometimes disappearances can be deceptive, and even the most meticulous plans can go awry if you don’t choose your victim wisely" (Anchor).
Release Date: November 23rd (DVD/Blu-Ray).
Director/writer: J. Blakeson.
Cast: Gemma Arterton, Martin Compston, and Eddie Marsan.
