Asteroid City (Comedy, Drama, Romance)

Written and directed by seven-time Oscar nominee Wes Anderson (“Isle of Dogs,” “Moonrise Kingdom”), “Asteroid City” is now available to own on Digital, Blu-ray and DVD from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.

Taking place in a fictional American desert town, circa 1955, “Asteroid City” follows Junior Stargazers and Space Cadets from across the country as they assemble for the annual Asteroid Day celebration — but the scholarly competition is spectacularly upended by world-changing events.

Equal parts comedy, drama and romance (with a touch of science-fiction), “Asteroid City” features an all-star, critically acclaimed supporting cast alongside stars Jason Schwartzman (“The Grand Budapest Hotel”), Scarlett Johansson (“Black Widow”) and Tom Hanks (“Forrest Gump”), including Jeffrey Wright (“Westworld”), Tilda Swinton (“Michael Clayton”), Adrien Brody (“The Pianist”), Bryan Cranston (“Breaking Bad”), Edward Norton (“Glass Onion”), Liev Schreiber (“Ray Donovan”), Hope Davis (“Succession”), Stephen Park (“Fargo”), Rupert Friend (“Pride & Prejudice”), Maya Hawke (“Stranger Things”), Steve Carell (“The Office”), Matt Dillon (“There’s Something About Mary”), Hong Chau (“The Whale”), Willem Dafoe (the “Spider-Man” franchise), Margot Robbie (“Barbie”), Tony Revolori (“The Grand Budapest Hotel”), Jake Ryan (“Moonrise Kingdom”) and Jeff Goldblum (the “Jurassic Park” franchise). The Blu-ray, DVD and Digital releases include the four-part “The Making of ‘Asteroid City’” featurette with Wes Anderson while the Digital release includes two additional behind-the-scenes exclusives: “The Alien” and “The Roadrunner.”

The Blackening (Comedy, Horror, Thriller)

The gerne-bending meta-horror “The Blackening” arrives on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD Tuesday, Aug. 22, from Lionsgate. The film is also now available on Digital.

Starring Grace Byers (“Empire”), Jermaine Fowler (“Coming 2 America”), Melvin Gregg (“House Party”), X Mayo (“American Auto”), Dewayne Perkins (“The Upshaws”), Antoinette Robertson (“Dear White People”) and Sinqua Walls (“White Men Can’t Jump”), with Jay Pharoah (“Saturday Night Live”) and Yvonne Orji (“Insecure”), “The Blackening” comes home with several entertaining extras, including an audio commentary with director Tim Story and writers Tracy Oliver (“Girls Trip”) and Dewayne Perkins.
