Exclusive 'Wrath Of The Titans' Blu-ray Featurette Gets Dangerous

Posted 6/26/12 3:09 pm EST by in DVD, Video

When it comes to big-budget studio films, it's easy to forget that a lot of the time there are actual actors on the screen, and that sometimes those real life actors are putting themselves in harm's way for your entertainment.

Toby Kebbell would probably like you to remember that acting isn't all fun and games and craft services. In this exclusive look at a featurette from the "Wrath of the Titans" Blu-ray, Kebbell has to run into a spiky trap set by the Cyclops.

Naturally, Kebbell gets a little shaky about standing in the middle of moving spikes, but it's all part of the job.

"Wrath of the Titans" once again tells the story of Perseus as he does battle with the gods and attempts to stop the end of the world.

"Wrath of the Titans" is now available on Blu-ray and DVD.

Nicolas Cage Praises Guy Pearce In 'Seeking Justice' Interview

Posted 6/15/12 4:41 pm EST by in DVD, Interviews

Either we could sit you down and explain to you all the ways that Guy Pearce is one of the best actors working today, or Nicolas Cage can do it.

We're going to assume you chose the latter.

The duo recently starred in the thriller, "Seeking Justice," which is now headed to DVD and Blu-ray. In this exclusive featurette from the disc, Cage explains what it's like to work with Pearce and why that is so much fun.

"Guy Pearce is very precise and clear about understanding the rhythm and the music of a scene," Cage said. "When I say 'premise,' I mean that he'll go through the script many times and really get down underneath it and get down into the nuts and bolts and ask me questions about 'How does this line up for you? How does that track for you?' That's unusual to be perfectly direct. Not many film actors do that. Not many actors led you know or include you on where they want to go to see if that works with you. So that's nice, and it's refreshing to have that."

"Seeking Justice" comes out on Blu-ray and DVD on June 19.

Robert Downey, Jr. Recounts Globe-Trotting For 'Sherlock Holmes' In Exclusive Clip

Posted 6/12/12 10:27 am EST by in DVD, Video

When you think of Sherlock Holmes, you probably imagine him in his study at 221B Baker Street in Londontown, but that's the old Holmes. Robert Downey, Jr.'s take on the famous detective, the news Holmes, is a world-traveling, smart ass with a quick whit and a mean right hook.

In this exclusive featurette from the upcoming Blu-ray and DVD release of Downey's second film as Holmes, "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows," the actor chronicles just where the story takes his character this time around.

"The story starts in London. It goes basically though the countryside very fast and to the coast, hops across the channel, winds us down to Paris, then from Paris to Germany, and Germany to Switzerland," Downey says in his typical matter-of-fact way.

"Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" is out on DVD and Blu-ray today!
