‘Free Guy’ Arriving On Digital And Home Release Very Soon
By Jeremy Mathai/Aug. 23, 2021 1:02 pm EST
Each and every new theatrical release these days brings a new guessing game of just how long we’ll have to wait until the studio makes the film available on streaming and/or video on demand. Thus far, we have been under the assumption that Disney would keep Free Guy, a holdover from their acquisition of 20th Century Fox, in a theatrical-only exclusive window for an undetermined period of time after its August 13 release. We now have news of a firm release date and it’s sooner than you might have thought.
The announcement has come down that Free Guy, the Shawn Levy-directed and Ryan Reynolds-starring video game spoof, will be made available on all major digital platforms on September 28, 2021 and will be coming to 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD formats on October 12, 2021. For those keeping track at home, a guesstimated 45-day window for a movie released on August 13 would end on September 27. The fact that Disney isn’t wasting a single day to throw Free Guy onto digital platforms sure feels like a quiet acknowledgment that theatrical pandemic-era box office receipts are simply not conducive to profits at this current point in time — not compared to what studios stand to gain from digital rentals and purchases, at least.
But in good news for physical media collectors, Free Guy’s Blu-ray special features include two deleted scenes, an extended scene, bloopers, and behind-the-scenes featurettes. Check out the cover art and details below.
Free Guy Special Features
Deleted and Extended Scenes Guy and Buddy Hit the Beach Hot Nuts Gets Blown NPC Rally (Extended) Gag Reel Dude vs. Guy – Join Ryan Reynolds, director Shawn Levy and the creative and stunt teams as they reveal the innovative process of creating “Free Guy”’s ultimate showdown between Guy and the wildly amped-up, spray-tanned, frosted-tipped version of himself known as Dude. Creating Molotovgirl – Jodie Comer transforms from a brilliant programmer to her fierce avatar in “Free Guy.” Watch as the award-winning action star and filmmakers deconstruct the conceptualization, evolution and execution of bringing Molotovgirl to life. It’s Taika’s World – “Free Guy”’s outrageous action may exist in a virtual world, but Taika Waititi makes the real world just as crazy with the over-the-top Antwan. See him at work in this entertaining showcase of a genuinely talented and hilarious performer. Welcome to Free City – Delve into the reality-skewing universe that is Free City, as revealed by director Shawn Levy, the cast, and its inventive creative teams. Find out how they transformed a real metropolis into a virtual playground where anything is possible.
