LOS ANGELES, CA. (March 25, 2010) – Garnering top honors at both the 2010 Academy Awards and Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor and Best Original Song (“The Weary Kind”), “Crazy Heart” is the powerful story of a country music star´s rocky road to redemption, arriving on Blu-ray Disc and DVD April 20 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Bridges stars as Bad Blake, a boozy, broken-down singer who reaches for salvation with the help of Jean, a journalist who discovers the real man behind the music. But will Bad´s hard-livin´ ways and crazy heart cost him his last chance at a comeback?
Fueled by country rock, “Crazy Heart” features award winning music from composer and producer T-Bone Burnett (“Walk The Line”), the late Texas songwriter Stephen Bruton, and southern singer/songwriter Ryan Bingham. “Crazy Heart” also features a stellar supporting cast including an Academy Award-nominated performance from Maggie Gyllenhaal (“Dark Knight”) and Academy Award winner Robert Duvall, who also served as a production partner on the film. A raw and realistic story adapted from the highly praised novel by Thomas Cobb, the film is a portrait of a man who has lived hard, fast and recklessly, but still goes after the salvation of love when his heart gets what appears to be one last chance to redeem itself.
The “Crazy Heart” Blu-ray includes deleted scenes, alternate music cuts and commentary from Bridges, Gyllenhaal and Duvall. The standard DVD features deleted scenes.
