Free Guy Blu-ray Gets Collectible Art Edition [EXCLUSIVE]
Screen Rant has an exclusive look at the collectible art edition of the Free Guy Blu-ray. 20th Century Studios previously announced that the Ryan Reynolds comedy will be available to own on digital on September 28 and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray and DVD on October 12. The film was released in theaters on August 13 and was immediately greenlit for a sequel by Disney with its strong opening box office numbers and overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics.
Directed by Shawn Levy with a script by Zak Penn and Matt Lieberman, Free Guy follows Guy (Reynolds), a video game NPC who works as a bank teller with no idea that he is a character in an open-world video game. With the help of the game's programmer, Millie (Jodie Comer), Guy comes to learn of his reality and gains self-awareness. When developer Antwan (Taika Waititi) threatens to delete the game's code to make way for its sequel, Guy and Millie team up with fellow NPC Buddy (Lil Rel Howery) and programmer Keys (Joe Keery) to find a way to save the inhabitants of the Free City game.
Screen Rant has an exclusive look at the collectible art edition of Free Guy. This edition of the film contains two limited edition foil-etched prints of Guy along with the 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray versions of the film. The inside of the Blu-ray is decorated with an 8-bit design and the logo of the fictional Soonami Studios from the movie. It also shows locations and vehicles from the game and the map of Free City. Check out the exclusive images of the collectible art edition of Free Guy below.
The art edition of Free Guy also contains fun bouns materials from the film including two deleted scenes, bloopers, and making-of featurettes. The collectible art edition is available for pre-order on September 16 and is sold exclusively at Target. The retail price is $39.99.
There is no word yet as to when Free Guy will be available on streaming services. Although the film is now owned by Disney, it will not be heading to Disney+ right away. Due to 20th Century Studios' contractual obligations, the first place the film will be available when it comes online will be HBO Max. Like Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Free Guy currently has a 45-day exclusivity in theaters before it can be released online. For Free Guy, the 45 days are up in September, hence the home release.
