Honoring the betterment of the human race by saluting those whose ill-advised folly removes them from the gene pool, The Darwin Awards makes the leap from the pages of the cult favorite books to comedic satire feature film directed by Finn Taylor (Dream with the Fishes), debuting on DVD July 31st from Fox Home Entertainment. Inspired by the four best-selling investigative books and website featuring over 700 cases of hysterically cringe-worthy stories of self-destruction, The Darwin Awards stars two-time Oscar-nominee Winona Ryder (Little Women, Reality Bites) and Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare In Love, Running with Scissors).Synopsis:
Detective Michael Burrows (Fiennes) is obsessed with “The Darwin Awards,” which are presented to people who accidentally kill themselves in incredibly stupid ways. So when he’s fired for bungling an arrest, he offers his profiling services to a life insurance company. Now, with the help of a tough claims investigator (Ryder), he’s determined to learn how to identify these idiots…before they die!

The Darwin Awards is now available for pre-order at Amazon. It is now available at AmazonUK. Visit the DVD database for more information.
