Comedy drama Barney’s Version came out only as a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack
Sony made Blu-ray/DVD combo-only releases a strategy with its smaller but acclaimed films. The studio issued Another Year only on Blu-ray/DVD on June 7, 2011. Lionsgate tried out the strategy with Buried back in January.
The R-rated movie , which was nominated for an Oscar for Best Makeup, won a Golden Globe award for Paul Giamatti’s perfomance.
Barney’s Version stars Giamatti (Pretty Bird) as a 65-year-old, politically incorrect, foulmouthed hockey fanatic and television producer who meets the love of his life at his wedding — and she’s not the bride. Throughout the film, Giamatti’s Barney reflects on his life and wives, including Minnie Driver (Conviction), Rosamund Pike (An Education) and Rachelle Lefevre (Twilight Saga: New Moon), with his father, Dustin Hoffman (Little Fockers).
Scott Speedman (Underworld), Saul Rubinek (TV’s Warehouse 13) and Atom Egoyan (director of Chloe) also star in the movie, which is based on the novel
