“Suicide Squad: Extended Cut” features more action and more Squad with 13 minutes of footage not previously seen in theaters. The Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D Combo Pack and Blu-ray Combo Pack will include the extended version of the film on the Blu-ray disc. The extended version will also be available to own on Digital HD.
Additionally, for the first time ever, all of the special features can be experienced in an entirely new, dynamic and immersive manner on tablets and mobile phones using VUDU Extras+, the newest feature of the VUDU app, available for both iOS and Android devices. Included with the theatrical cut of the movie when purchased from VUDU, VUDU Extras+ allows users to watch the movie and simultaneously experience synchronized content related to any scene, simply by rotating their device. Synchronized content is presented on the same screen while the movie is playing, thus enabling users to quickly learn more about any scene, such as actor biographies, scene locations, fun trivia, or image galleries. Also, users can share movie clips with friends on social media and experience other immersive content. The VUDU app is now updated and available for download on the Apple app store, and will be updated later this week on Google Play.”
“Suicide Squad” will be available on Ultra HD Blu-ray for $44.95, Blu-ray 3D Combo Pack for $44.95, Blu-ray Combo Pack for $35.99 and 2-disc DVD Special Edition for $28.98. The Ultra HD Blu-ray features an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc with the theatrical version in 4K with HDR and a Blu-ray disc with the extended version. The Blu-ray 3D Combo Pack features the theatrical version of the film in 3D hi-definition and hi-definition, as well as the extended version in hi-definition; the Blu-ray Combo Pack features the extended version and theatrical version of the film in hi-definition on Blu-ray; and the DVD features the theatrical version in standard definition. All Blu-ray products include a digital version of both the extended and theatrical versions of the movie in Digital HD with UltraViolet.* Fans can also own “Suicide Squad” via purchase from digital retailers.
The Blu-ray discs of “Suicide Squad” will feature a Dolby Atmos® soundtrack remixed specifically for the home theater environment to place and move audio anywhere in the room, including overhead. To experience Dolby Atmos at home, a Dolby Atmos enabled AV receiver and additional speakers are required, or a Dolby Atmos enabled sound bar; however, Dolby Atmos soundtracks are also fully backward compatible with traditional audio configurations and legacy home entertainment equipment.
Additionally, Just in time for the home entertainment release of “Suicide Squad,” “Suicide Squad: The Album,” Atlantic Records’ massive musical companion to the Warner Bros. Pictures blockbuster, has skyrocketed in sales reaching platinum status by the RIAA for sales and streams in excess of 1 million equivalents. The soundtrack made history upon its explosive release this summer as the first soundtrack from a Warner Bros.-distributed film to debut atop the SoundScan/Billboard 200, entering at No. 1 with sales and streams in excess of 182,000 album equivalents – the highest debut for a soundtrack this year and the largest streaming week for a soundtrack ever with over 32 million streams. “Suicide Squad: The Album” is the only soundtrack to receive platinum certification in 2016.
**SYNOPSIS**
It feels good to be bad… Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?
