Mandate Pictures’ Peacock is unfortunately headed straight-to-dvd, DVDActive reports. The film was shot back in 2008 and stars Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy, Bill Pullman, Susan Sarandon and Josh Lucas. The period pic, directed by first-timer Michael Lander, follows “a quiet Nebraskan bank clerk (Murphy) with dual personalities (one male, one female) whose secret is exposed when a train crashes into his backyard. He then proceeds to try and fool the local townspeople into believe his separate personalities are actually real – a married man and wife couple.” The premise sound very cool, something I couldn’t see being accepted by general audience, so I understand the release. I will definitely check it out on Netflix this spring.
Peacock hits DVD April 20th. Check out the DVD cover below and head over to the website for more info, including a picture gallery.
Does Peacock sound interesting to you? Are you upset it’s going straight-to-dvd?
