Sony Pictures Home Entertainment announced today that the adrenaline-charged Sci-Fi thriller Ultraviolet will be available on DVD, Blu-ray Disc and for PSP on June 27th.
Ultraviolet will be available on DVD and for PSP for a suggested retail price of $28.95 and will be presented in PG-13 theatrical and unrated extended cut versions. The high-definition Blu-ray Disc will be presented in the PG-13 theatrical version for a suggested retail price of $38.95.
Written and directed by Kurt Wimmer (The Recruit and cult hit, Equilibrium), the film stars Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil: Apocalypse, The Fifth Element) as Ultraviolet - a courageous and determined heroine who leads the fight in a futuristic civil war and holds the fate of a new super human race in her hands. Ultraviolet was filmed entirely in the new high definition format to capture the film’s high-flying action stunt sequences with incredible clarity. It also features performances by Cameron Bright (The Butterfly Effect), Nick Chinlund (The Legend of Zorro) and William Fichtner (Mr. & Mrs. Smith).
Set in the late 21st Century, Ultraviolet centers on a new subculture of genetically-modified humans that have emerged with a vampire-like disease (Hemophagia), giving them enhanced speed, incredible stamina and acute intelligence. As this new breed is set apart from normal, “healthy” humans, the world is pushed to a global civil war aimed at the destruction of the “diseased” population. In the middle is Ultraviolet, an infected woman who finds herself protecting a nine-year-old boy who has been marked for death by the government as he is believed to be a threat to humans.
The PG-13 theatrical version also includes several bonus features such as UV Protection: The Making of Ultraviolet and cast commentary. The unrated extended cut DVD will contain the same features as the PG-13 theatrical version as well as never-before-seen footage.
Ultraviolet is available for pre-order at Amazon . As of yet, there is not a release date for the UK. Visit the DVD’s database for more information. As of yet, there is no cover art for the DVD, but check back for further details as the release date approaches.
