Uncut World War Z on Blu-ray Will Be "More Intense"

This summer's zombie-infested hit, World War Z, starring Brad Pitt, will hit Blu-ray shelves on September 17th with an unrated cut that promises to deliver more intense thrills and action. It will also be available one week earlier on Digital.

“I’m really excited for fans to see the new unrated version of World War Z on Blu-ray,” said producer and star Brad Pitt. “We were thrilled with the audience response to the film in theaters and wanted to give viewers even more of the action and intensity that they loved when they watch the film at home.”

In addition, the film has been digitally re-mastered into the immersive IMAX 3D format and will be released in select IMAX theaters domestically for an exclusive one-week running beginning today.

Both combo packs - the Blu-ray and the Blu-ray 3D - boast in-depth looks at the making of the film, the seamless blending of practical and digital effects, the science behind the Zombie outbreak and much more. The film will also be available as a single-disc DVD.
