Ahead of its release date starting next week, the final release details have been revealed for Guillermo del Toro’s applauded Nightmare Alley. The film is nominated for Best Picture at this year’s Oscars and will debut in the UK on Digital March 16 and on Blu-ray and DVD on March 21.
The story is as follows:
When charismatic but down-on-his-luck Stanton Carlisle (Bradley Cooper) endears himself to clairvoyant Zeena (Toni Collette) and her has-been mentalist husband Pete (David Strathairn) at a traveling carnival, he crafts a golden ticket to success, using this newly acquired knowledge to grift the wealthy elite of 1940s New York society. With the virtuous Molly (Rooney Mara) loyally by his side, Stanton plots to con a dangerous tycoon (Richard Jenkins) with the aid of a mysterious psychiatrist (Cate Blanchett) who might be his most formidable opponent yet.
