Paramount Pictures Home Entertainment has unveiled a pretty impressive package for the Rocketman home release this coming December. The film debuted at this year’s Canne Film Festival before going on to be a huge global hit with $183 million and counting in the bank.
The Digital, 4K Ultra HD, and Blu-ray releases are packed with over 75 minutes of bonus content, including four extended musical sequences introduced by director Dexter Fletcher that showcase even more of the spectacular singing and dancing by Taron Egerton and the cast. The releases also include breakthrough moments not seen in theaters with 10 deleted and extended scenes with an introduction by Dexter Fletcher; sing-along tracks of 13 select songs; behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with Elton John, the cast, and filmmakers; intimate footage from recording studio sessions; plus, a Rocketman jukebox that allows viewers to skip straight to the music.
The release is set for shelves from September 14 (digital) and Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD and DVD from September 30.
