Fantastic news today with the news of the home release of Wes Anderson’s brilliant Asteroid City. We loved the movie when we reviewed it over at Cineworld, so it’s the perfect opportunity to check the movie out if you missed its theatrical release.
Continuing its theatrical run, the charming comedy starring Jason Schwartzman (The French Dispatch, The Grand Budapest Hotel), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow, Jojo Rabbit), and Tom Hanks (Elvis, News of the World), Focus Features’ ASTEROID CITY is available today, July 24, 2023, to buy or rent at home on digital platforms nationwide from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Packed with humour, an eclectic cast of characters, and an extraordinary alien encounter, the film marks the return of seven-time Oscar® nominated writer and director Wes Anderson (Isle of Dogs, Moonrise Kingdom) and his signature unique visual style.
A “dazzling cosmic spectacle” (Little White Lies) that “manages to tug on the heartstrings” (Independent), ASTEROID CITY showcases a star-studded, critically acclaimed supporting cast alongside Schwartzman, Johansson, and Hanks, including Jeffrey Wright (“Westworld”, No Time To Die), Tilda Swinton (Suspiria, Michael Clayton), Adrien Brody (The Pianist, The Darjeeling Limited), Bryan Cranston (“Breaking Bad”, Trumbo), Edward Norton (Glass Onion, Birdman), Liev Schreiber (“Ray Donovan”, X-Men Origins: Wolverine), Hope Davis (“Your Honor”, “Succession”), Stephen Park (The French Dispatch, “Fargo”), Rupert Friend (The Young Victoria, Pride & Prejudice), Maya Hawke (“Stranger Things”, Do Revenge), Steve Carell (“The Office”, “The Morning Show”), Matt Dillon (There’s Something About Mary, The House That Jack Built), Hong Chau (The Whale, The Menu), Willem Dafoe (Spider-Man franchise, The Florida Project), Margot Robbie (Suicide Squad, I, Tonya), Tony Revolori (The Grand Budapest Hotel, Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Spider-Man franchise), Jake Ryan (Moonrise Kingdom, Eighth Grade) and Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic Park franchise, Independence Day).
A fictional American desert town, circa 1955. Junior Stargazers and Space Cadets from across the country assemble for the annual Asteroid Day celebration — but the scholarly competition is spectacularly upended by world-changing events. Equal parts comedy, drama, and romance (with a touch of science-fiction).
Asteroid City is available now on Blu-ray & DVD and Digital courtesy of Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.
