Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy Blu-ray and DVD Debut March 20th

Things aren't always as they seem in the Oscar-nominated, suspenseful, and stylish thriller from director Tomas Alfredson (Let the Right One in), based on the classic novel by John le Carré. Focus Features' Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy will be available on Blu-ray Combo Pack with UltraViolet, on DVD, on Digital Download and On-Demand March 20, 2012, from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. At the height of the Cold War, Britain's Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), a.k.a. MI6 and code-named the Circus, has been compromised. An ever-watchful former top lieutenant and career spy, George Smiley (Gary Oldman, The Dark Knight, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix), is called out of retirement by the government to help identify and track a suspected mole at the top of the agency. The list of suspects is narrowed to five men. Even before the startling truth is revealed, the emotional and physical tolls on the players enmeshed in the deadly international spy game will escalate...Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is Academy Award-nominated for Best Actor (Gary Oldman), Best Adapted Screenplay (Bridget O'Connor & Peter Straughan), and Best Original Score (Alberto Iglesias); and is nominated for 11 BAFTA Awards including Best Film and Best Actor.

(Peter Travers, Rolling Stone).

Can't wait for the film (finally, I can watch it!), but the cover does seem pretty cheap.

I absolutely abhor the cover. They should have used the theatrical cover, yet again. Regardless, this is good news.

Kind of reminds me of the To Kill a Mockingbird Blu-ray. Same colors, I guess.
