The modernization of a Shakespeare classic, Cymbeline
arrives on Blu-ray and DVD on May 19 from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. A gritty story
of a take-no-prisoners war between dirty cops and an outlaw biker gang, Cymbeline
stars Academy Award nominees Ethan Hawke (Best Supporting
Actor, Boyhood, 2014)
and Ed Harris (Best Actor, Pollock, 2000) alongside a powerhouse cast
including Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil
franchise), John Leguizamo (John Wick),
Penn Badgley (Margin Call), Dakota
Johnson (50 Shades of Grey) and Anton
Yelchin (Star Trek franchise) with Bill Pullman (upcoming American Ultra) and Delroy Lindo (TV’s “Believe”).
When extortion, betrayal and fiery passions
threaten his criminal empire, a drug kingpin (Harris) is driven to desperate
measures in this explosive, modern retelling of Shakespeare’s timeless play.
Bonus materials include a behind-the-scenes
featurette and extended interviews with cast and crew along with a Blu-ray and
DVD exclusive audio commentary with director Michael Almereyda, actor Ethan
Hawke and Shakespeare expert Anthony Holden. Cymbeline will be
available for the suggested retail price of $19.99 and $19.98 respectively.
