Bradley Cooper directed, co-wrote, and produced the motion picture. It stars Will Arnett and Laura Dern. The supporting cast includes Andra Day, Bradley Cooper, Sean Hayes, Amy Sedaris, Ciarán Hinds, Christine Ebersole, and Peyton Manning. It’s worth noting that this movie is “Certified Fresh” based on critics’ reviews at Rotten Tomatoes.

The tech specs for the 4K UHD Blu-ray include a 2160p video presentation in a 1.66:1 aspect ratio with Dolby Vision (HDR10-compatible) high dynamic range and Dolby Atmos sound, on a BD-66 disc. The release will come as a 2-disc “combo pack” with its Blu-ray Disc counterpart (exclusively) included, along with a digital code (copy) of the movie compatible with Movies Anywhere. The tech specs for the [included] Blu-ray come with a 1080p HD video presentation in 1.66:1 aspect and lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 surround sound, on a BD-50 disc.

The only bonus feature included with the release is listed below.

  • Mic Drop: Making Is This Thing On? – Go behind the scenes as filmmakers and cast open up about the inspirations behind this story of love, loss, and starting again. Get a glimpse into working with a remarkable ensemble and hear about how the team developed their comedy sets.

EDITORIAL NOTE: This 4K UHD Blu-ray and a DVD will be the only physical media releases for this particular motion picture. That essentially means that there will not [initially] be a standard [standalone] Blu-ray Disc release. If you want the movie to own, you’ll have to buy this physical 4K/Blu-ray combo pack. This is the first time that I can recall Disney opting for this strategy.

Further below, after the break, you can find the movie trailers and the full press release.
