Smoking Hot, Power-Packed Action-Comedy American Ultra Explodes onto Digital HD November 10 and Blu-ray and DVD November 24

SANTA MONICA, CA (September 29, 2015) - Jesse Eisenberg (Now You See Me) and Kristen Stewart (The Twilight Saga) star as two slackers-turned-secret weapons in the action-comedy American Ultra arriving on Digital HD November 10, and on Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital HD), DVD (plus Digital) and On Demand November 24 from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. The knockout adventure from the director of the hit comedy Project X also starsTopher Grace (TV's "That 70's Show"), Connie Britton (TV's "Nashville"), Walton Goggins (TV's "Justified"), John Leguizamo (John Wick), Bill Pullman (Independence Day) and Tony Hale (HBO's "VEEP").
 
American Ultra is a dynamic thrill ride that mixes explosive action with edgy humor. Mike (Eisenberg) shares a small-town life with his girlfriend Phoebe (Stewart). But Mike's sleepy world goes wild after he discovers that he's actually a CIA sleeper agent with lethal fighting skills-and the target of government hitmen. Mike, the ultimate slacker, transforms into an ultra-attacker as he and Phoebe fight to survive in this exhilarating adventure.
 
Armed with a stockpile of extras, the American Ultra home entertainment release includes a behind-the-scenes documentary, a look at the unique weapons used in the film, gag reel, and audio commentary with the director. In addition, the American Ultra Blu-ray features DTS:X immersive audio technology. DTS:X replicates and conveys the fluid movement of sound by accurately matching sounds to what is visually occurring on - and off - the screen to create a richer soundscape than has previously been possible. The American Ultra Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD will be available for the suggested retail price of $29.99 and $21.98, respectively.
