Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will bring Lockout, from Taken producer Luc Besson, to Blu-ray, DVD and UltraViolet July 17, 2012. The film was infamously sliced in the US, right before release, to obtain a PG-13. The Blu-ray and DVD will include the unrated cut, restoring the film's graphic violence and missing scenes.
While not a box office smash, Lockout did end up earning it's relatively small $20 million budget back, largely thanks to international sales. The film earned nearly $25 million worldwide.
Here's a synopsis of Lockout direct from Sony, "Luc Besson (Director of The Fifth Element) presents this futuristic thriller about a renegade CIA agent (Guy Pearce, Prometheus) who is betrayed by his government and sentenced to 30 years frozen in a cryonic chamber 50 miles above Earth. The only way to avoid serving time is a suicide mission – overcome a gang of ruthless prisoners and rescue the President’s daughter (Maggie Grace, Taken)."
The Blu-ray/UV combo pack will feature a 1080p high definition transfer (2.40:1 aspect ratio), mixed in 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio with optional Spanish, Portuguese and Italian 5.1 audio tracks. Subtitles include English (UK), English (US), Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Latin Am).
The DVD/UV combo pack features an anamorphic widescreen presentation with 5.1 Dolby Digital audio and optional Spanish and Portuguese language options. Subs for the DVD include English (US), Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Latin Am).
Both discs will include two behind-the-scenes featurettes: "Breaking into Lockout" and "A Vision of the Future: Production Design and Special Effects."
