World War Z Blu-ray / DVD Release Date and Cover Art

It has been announced that we'll see an unrated World War Z Blu-ray / DVD release in September and we have a look at the official cover art. Like a number of new releases, an early digital download version of the movie will be available on September 10th. A World War Z Blu-ray and DVD edition will then be available one week later on September 17th.

“World War Z tells the story of the world’s desperate battle against the zombie threat with a series of first-person accounts ‘as told to the author’ by various characters around the world. A Chinese doctor encounters one of the earliest zombie cases at a time when the Chinese government is ruthlessly suppressing any information about the outbreak that will soon spread across the globe. The tale then follows the outbreak via testimony of smugglers, intelligence officials, military personnel and many others who struggle to defeat the zombie menace.”

Based on the Max Brooks novel of the same name, World War Z was originally released to theaters on June 21st. The movie was directed by Marc Forster (Quantum of Solace) and stars Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, Matthew Fox, and James Badge.
