Movie news and the NFL are converging in a fun way with the upcoming release of “Draft Day.” The film will be available on Digital HD Aug. 19, Video On Demand and Pay-Per-View Aug. 29 and Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital HD) and DVD (plus Digital) Sept. 2. “Draft Day” stars Kevin Costner, Jennifer Garner, Denis Leary, Frank Langella, Sam Elliot, Sean Combs, Terry Crews, Chadwick Boseman, Ellen Burstyn, Tom Welling and Houston Texans running back Arian Foster and is directed by Ivan Reitman from a script by Rajiv Joseph and Scott Rothman. The film was made in exclusive partnership with the NFL, including unprecedented access to the 2013 NFL Draft.

The film follows a general manager who is working to build a team, which of course, leads to the draft.

“It’s NFL Draft Day. A day that can change the lives of athletes and the fortunes of football teams forever. After pulling off a blockbuster trade, General Manager Sonny Weaver Jr. (Costner) controls the #1 pick. Up against fan pressure, an ambitious owner (Langella) and a hard-nosed coach (Leary), Sonny faces the biggest decision of his life. Should he go with the consensus #1 pick or trust his instincts and risk losing it all?

The Draft Day Blu-ray Combo Pack bonus materials include an exclusive 58-minute “making of” featurette titled “On The Clock: The Making of Draft Day,” and “Welcome to Primetime,” an inside look behind-the-scenes of the NFL Draft. Both the Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD special features include audio commentary with writers Rajiv Joseph and Scott Rothman plus deleted scenes.”
