People of all generations and backgrounds are drawn to the mysteries of the afterlife, and how it continuously influences and affects their living selves. The exploration into the impact that death has on the living is highlighted again in this year’s remake of the 1990 sci-fi drama, ‘Flatliners.’ With the contemporary update being unveiled on Digital HD this week by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Shockya is premiering an exclusive bonus features clip from the film.
The digital release of ‘Flatliners’ comes weeks before the horror movie is set to also debut on Blu-ray and DVD on December 26. The bonus content for the supernatural thriller’s home distribution includes two behind-the-scenes featurettes. The clips include ‘Just What the Doctor Ordered,’ which catches the cast and crew reflecting on working with director Niels Arden Oplev, along with an interview from Niels on his directing style and vision. In ‘The Ultimate Question,’ the cast and crew decide whether or not they would flatline if they could, and offer the revealing reasons behind their decisions.
The ‘Flatliners’ digital and Blu-ray releases are also loaded with additional exclusive bonus material, including deleted and extended scenes, plus two more behind-the-scenes featurettes. The featurette, ‘Reviving a Cult Classic,’ explores the differences in tone, concepts and creative design from the original film and the update, and also features comments from producer Michael Douglas. In ‘Making the Rounds,’ the cast shares what intrigued them most about their characters, as well as their experiences on the set, and their favorite film moments.
The new ‘Flatliners’ was written by Ben Ripley, and produced by Laurence Mark, Michael Douglas and Peter Safra. It stars Ellen Page, Diego Luna, Nina Dobrev, James Norton, Kiersey Clemons and Kiefer Sutherland.
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has released the following synopsis for ‘Flatliners’:
