Arthur is out on Blu-Ray and DVD in the UK on September 19.

From CinemaBlend:

Arthur is sometimes a one-man circus show featuring the machinations of Russell Brand and other times a poignant story that might possibly bring a few tears to the forefront. Either way, it’s uniquely messy filmmaking and still worth a watch. Luckily, viewers will be able to purchase Arthur even sooner than expected, as Warner Brothers Home Entertainment has announced the film for Blu-Ray and DVD release on July 15.

Pulling together a Blu-Ray and DVD release rather quickly after a film leaves theaters has its drawbacks, namely regarding special features. The DVD release for Arthur is especially sparse, and will only come with additional scenes. The Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack will pick up the slack a little, and will come with a gag reel, an “unsupervised feature” with Russell Brand and director Jason Winer, and a digital copy. That’s still not a lot for a $35.99 Blu-Ray price, but it’s worth it to be able to repeat the scene where Helen Mirren says “Wash your winkie” through a Darth Vader mask.

This refers to the US release – the UK release date appears to be Sept. 19 (thanks Kirsten!).

Nice little interview, but shame on them for spelling his name wrong in the graphic at the beginning!

Love Lorraine and Russell together. Also happy to see that Lorraine is in the pro-beard camp!
