Lions For Lambs

MGM is releasing a movie that completely flew under my radar (having a baby may be the cause) on April 8th. Apparently this film just came out in November and was directed by Robert Redford and stars Tom “E meter” Cruise and Meryl Streep? What the… I’m not sure anyone saw this film. Its only coming to DVD if that tells you anything, and for a pricey $29.98 SRP to boot.

The specs given don’t lend much hope either. It will be in both full and widescren, Dolby Digital 5.1, and have a commentary track from Redford. The only other extras listed are:

Featurettes From Script To Screen and United Artists Legacy, teasers and trailers.

Here is the plot in case you were wondering ( I snagged it from IMDB):

Lions for Lambs begins after two determined students at a West Coast University, Arian and Ernest, follow the inspiration of their idealistic professor, Dr. Malley, and attempt to do something important with their lives. But when the two make the bold decision to join the battle in Afghanistan, Malley is both moved and distraught. Now, as Arian and Ernest fight for survival in the field, they become the string that binds together two disparate stories on opposite sides of America. In California, an anguished Dr. Malley attempts to reach a privileged but disaffected student who is the very opposite of Arian and Ernest. Meanwhile, in Washington D.C. the charismatic Presidential hopeful, Senator Jasper Irving, is about to give a bombshell story to a probing TV journalist that may affect Arian and Ernest’s fates
