One of the big titles hitting April 4 is Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, replete with bonus features to satisfy Star Wars fans. If you’re looking for some Kylo Ren to tide you over until The Last Jedi in December, be sure to check out Adam Driver’s incredible performance in Paterson, the latest from writer and director Jim Jarmusch (Coffee and Cigarettes, Only Lovers Left Alive). Rounding out the week’s recent big screen releases is the Paramount Pictures comedy Office Christmas Party.
Titles hitting DVD only April 4 include The Bounce Back and Youth in Oregon.
Warner Archive has a treat for western fans as the MOD service brings to HD the early Sam Peckinpah entry Ride the High Country. Cinephiles, meanwhile, should also be on the lookout for Flicker Alley’s latest treasure, the 1919 war drama rarity Behind the Door.
Shout Factory’s Scream Factory label, meanwhile, delivers, the recent Ben Wheatley-produced thriller Tank 432.
On the small screen front, April 4 brings complete series DVD sets for both Medium (seven seasons and 130 episodes) and The Good Wife (seven seasons and 156 episodes).
Digital HD titles hitting April 4 include M. Night Shymalan’s clever thriller Split, the Michael Keaton-fronted biopic The Founder, the youth addiction documentary Generation Found and the action thriller Sleepless. A remake of the 2011 French-Belgian film Sleepless Night, Sleepless stars Jamie Foxx and Michelle Monaghan. We’ve also got, in the player below, a look at the DVD-only release of We Don’t Belong Here, starring Get Out‘s Catherine Keener and, tragically, marking one of the final performances from the late Anton Yelchin.
