Universal Home Entertainment has announced that writer/director Jordan Peele's GET OUT follow-up US is coming to home video in June, with the film getting a Digital release on June 4th followed by a 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD, and On Demand release on June 18th. Along with the film we'll be getting the chance to check out over 50 minutes of bonus features that will be "delving deep into the mind of Jordan Peele, his filmmaking process, and the symbolism behind US."
Starring Lupita Nyong'o, Winston Duke, Shahadi Wright Joseph, Evan Alex, Elisabeth Moss, Tim Heidecker, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Anna Diop, Cali Sheldon, Noelle Sheldon, and Madison Curry, US has the following synopsis:
Set along the North California coastline, Adelaide Wilson (Nyong'o) reluctantly returns to her beachside childhood home with her family and finds that she is haunted by unresolved trauma from her past along with a string of eerie coincidences. As darkness falls after a tense day at the beach, the Wilsons discover four figures standing in their driveway. They soon realize this is only the beginning of their troubles as they find that the four figures are terrifying and uncanny opponents: doppelgängers of themselves.
Bonus features set to accompany the 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital releases are:
