‘Asteroid City’ Sets Collector’s Edition Blu-ray and DVD Release Date

Jul 4, 2023


After two years away, Wes Anderson recently made his comeback with Asteroid City. Already knocking out big competitors at the box office, like Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, the director’s unique style and eye are proving to still have a tight grip on his dedicated fandom. While a streaming and digital release have yet to be set, it was announced that cinephiles in the U.K. can pull the trigger on pre-ordering a collector’s edition release of Anderson’s latest flick. Already available on Amazon, the item is the perfect choice to get an early start on your holiday shopping as it’s set to release on December 31, 2023, on both Blu-ray and DVD.

Not only will the Asteroid City collector’s edition give you or the Anderson stan in your life a physical copy of the director’s out-of-this-world comedy-drama, but you’ll also get some dazzling artwork to put on display. Along with a slipcase featuring three of the main characters played by Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson, and Jason Schwartzman, the release includes eight gorgeously designed character cards and five art cards that depict some of the film’s most memorable moments. Crafted with the film’s vibrant color palette, the cards take the filmmaker’s distinct vision and put it into displayable form.

Transporting audiences to 1955, Asteroid City sees a group of folks – primarily those attending the Junior Stargazer/Space Cadet convention – flocking to an American desert town to take in the dark night skies and celebrate scientific advancements. But, when strange events begin to unfold, the attendees and townspeople will find that not all is as it seems and that there’s more going on in the night sky than they thought. Even if you haven’t made it to the cinema to catch the film, trailers and posters have revealed that it may be the most extra Anderson movie to date with every inch of the director’s very being jam-packed into an hour and forty minutes.
