Spike Jonze’s Adaptation Gets Adapted To Blu-ray In October

Disc Announcements, News

What if I told you there was a film with two Nicolas Cages? That’s right, two of him on the screen at once. What if I told you it was made by the director and writer of Being John Malkovich which featured an infinite number of John Malkovichs? Eighteen years ago Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman made a film where Nicolas Cage played Charlie Kaufman and Charlie’s alleged twin brother in a film about orchids and screenplays. Adaptation was a twisted tale of reality and how it gets presented in dramatic form. This is Nicolas Cage’s best roles (two roles) in the 21st Century. Now Adaptation is getting upgraded to Blu-ray in October thanks to Shout Select. Here’s the press release from Shout! Factory:

ADAPTATION
STARRING NICOLAS CAGE, MERYL STREEP,
AND CHRIS COOPER,
AND DIRECTED BY SPIKE JONZE
COMING TO BLU-RAY™ FROM SHOUT SELECT
ON OCTOBER 20, 2020

Los Angeles, CA – Spike Jonze’s critically acclaimed film Adaptation, starring Nicolas Cage (Face/Off, Valley Girl), Meryl Streep (Little Women, Sophie’s Choice), and Chris Cooper (Little Women, August: Osage County), will be released on Blu-ray™ on October 20 by Shout Select. Special features include the original featurette, a trailer, and a still gallery.

Director Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich) delivers a stunningly original comedy that seamlessly blends fictional characters and situations with the lives of real people: obsessive orchid hunter John Laroche (Cooper), journalist and author Susan Orlean (Streep), Hollywood screenwriter Charlie Kaufman (Cage), and his twin brother Donald (also Cage). As Charlie struggles to adapt Orlean’s best-selling book “The Orchid Thief,” he writes himself into his own movie. The various stories crash into one another, exploding into a wildly imaginative film. Adaptation, 2002’s most-talked about movie, is at once a hilarious drama and a moving comedy.
