Among the new home video releases from Eagle Pictures is coming soon. Antebellum (USA - 2020), the thriller written and directed by Gerard Bush and Christopher Renz. The film will be available on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K formats starting April 14, 2021.
The DVD and Blu-ray editions will also be packed with extras, including 8 minutes of deleted scenes, while the Blu-ray edition will also feature a Making Of of over an hour.
Antebellum is built on two different time planes, with two stories that, although very different, are interconnected. The first features an African American woman just before the American War of Secession in 1861. Exploited as a slave in the cotton fields in 1860, she will suffer repeated violence at the hands of slaveholders.
The second story instead focuses on Veronica Henley (Janelle Monáe), a successful author and career woman living in New York City in 2020. She will find herself trapped in a terrifying reality and must shed light on the mystery surrounding her before it is too late.
But what do the slave girl and Veronica have in common?
They complete the cast of Antebellum: Kiersey Clemons, Eric Lange, Jack Huston, Gabourey Sidibe (Precious, American Horror Story), Robert Aramayo, Lily Cowles, Marque Richardson, and Devyn A. Tyler.
The film is produced by Sean McKittrick (Escape: Get Out, Us), Raymond Mansfield (Escape: Get Out) and Zev Foreman (Killer Joe) and stars Janelle Monáe and Jena Malone (The Neon Demon, Nocturnal Animals).
