Blood Quantum

“Blood Quantum” will be released on VOD, Digital HD, DVD and Blu-ray on Tuesday Sept. 1, from RLJE Films, a business unit of AMC Networks.

The indigenous people in the isolated reserve of Red Crow are immune to the zombie plague that has taken over the nation, but that doesn’t mean their lives aren’t at risk. It’s up to Traylor (Michael Greyeyes, “Fear the Walking Dead”), the tribal sheriff, to protect the families residing on the reserve and a flood of desperate refugees from the hordes of bloodthirsty, walking white corpses that are closing in.

The horror film is directed and written by Jeff Barnaby (“Rhymes for Young Ghouls,” and stars Michael Greyeyes (“Fear the Walking Dead,” “True Detective”), Forrest Goodluck (“The Revenant”), Kiowa Gordon (“Twilight” franchise) and Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers (“The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open”).

Children of the Sea

From Japan’s Studio4 C and director Ayumu Watanabe comes “Children of the Sea,” a beautiful adaptation of the prize-winning manga. Featuring a score from legendary composer and long-time Studio Ghibli collaborator Joe Hisaishi (“Spirited Away,” “My Neighbor Totoro”), this critically acclaimed film will be available digitally, as a Blu-ray and DVD combo pack, and on DVD Tuesday Sept. 1, from GKIDS and Shout! Factory.

When Ruka was younger, she saw a ghost in the water at the aquarium where her dad worked. Now she feels drawn toward the aquarium and the two mysterious boys she meets there, Umi and Sora, who were raised by dugongs and hear the same strange calls from the sea as she does. As the kids get caught up in the mystery behind the sudden worldwide disappearance of the ocean’s fish, they uncover cosmic connections that will change them forever.

All editions of the release will include several bonus features, including an interview with Watanabe and CGI director Kenichiro Akimoto, an interview with Hisaishi, a behind-the-scenes featurette, animatic sequences, and more.

The Blu-ray and DVD Combo pack will also include the exclusive “Turep—Looking for Children of the Sea,” a feature-length pseudo-documentary from the creators of “Children of the Sea” that explores the legends that inspired the film and engages with its larger themes. Framed as a search for a lost brother with an affinity for the sea, this journey takes a young woman through old videotapes, conversations with marine and anthropological experts, and eventually, a small island nation far from Japan. Fans can pre-order their copies at ShoutFactory.com.
