Denzel Washington directed and starred in this film adaptation of August Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning play, earning an Oscar nomination for Best Actor in the process. But Viola Davis took home most of the film’s hardware this awards season including a Best Supporting Actress Golden Globe and the Best Actress Oscar. Included on the Blu-ray release are five featurettes that look at the original play and the cast’s reunion.

It was a rocky road to release for Passengers since Jon Spaihts wrote the script in 2007. After the script made the Black List, Keanu Reeves and Reese Witherspoon were set to star before being replaced with Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence. And before Morten Tyldum was lined up to direct, Game of Thrones director Brian Kirk was originally attached to make the film his feature film debut. It’s impossible to know for sure whether or not the movie would have turned out better with the original lineup, but the film we got set the bar pretty low. Passengers is getting released in both standard, 4K and 3D Blu-ray formats and comes with four featurettes, deleted scenes, a gag reel and more.
