"Brothers" in DVD & Blu-Ray on 23rd March 2010

"Featuring an all-star cast that includes a Golden Globe® nominated performance from Toby Maguire, Academy Award® nominee Jake Gyllenhaal (Brokeback Mountain, Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role, 2005), Academy Award® nominee Natalie Portman (Closer, Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role, 2004), Academy Award® nominee Sam Shepard (The Right Stuff, Best Actor in a Supporting Role, 1983) and Emmy® winner Mare Winningham (“George Wallace,” Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie, 1998), the explosive film Brothers arrives on DVD and Blu-ray Disc this March. Directed by six-time Academy Award® nominee Jim Sheridan (In the Name of the Father, Best Director, 1994), the film tells the compelling tale of how two brothers come to terms with issues of love, loyalty, and manhood with the woman caught between them. The DVD and Blu-ray disc contain numerous bonus materials that include two featurettes plus a director commentary. A truly riveting drama with superb performances, Brothers is a film not to be missed!
A Marine about to embark on his fourth tour of duty, Sam (Maguire) is a steadfast family man married to his high school sweetheart, the aptly named Grace (Portman), with whom he has two young daughters. Tommy (Gyllenhaal), his charismatic younger brother, is a drifter just out of jail who’s always gotten by on wit and charm. He slides easily into his role as family provocateur on his first night out of prison, which is also Sam’s farewell dinner with their parents, Elsie (Winningham) and Hank Cahill (Shepard). When Sam’s Blackhawk helicopter is shot down in the mountains of Afghanistan, the worst is presumed, leaving an enormous void in the family. Tommy steps in to fill the void with consequences that will shake the foundation of the entire family.
