ENTERTAINMENT ONE RELEASES MONSTERS: DARK CONTINENT SPECIAL STEELBOOK BLU-RAY


– Entertainment One announces that it will release a special steelbook alongside the standard DVD and Blu-Ray for its home entertainment launch of Monsters: Dark Continent.


Featuring specially commissioned exclusive artwork by up-and-coming artist Matt Ferguson, who has previously produced stunning exclusive artwork for Marvel and Disney’s Guardians Of The Galaxy and Avengers: Assemble.


Directed by Tom Green, Executive Produced by Gareth Edwards (Monsters, Godzilla) and starring Johnny Harris (Atonement, Snow White and the Huntsman, War Horse), Joe Dempsie (Skins, Game of Thrones, The Damned United) and Sam Keeley (This Must Be The Place, What Richard Did, The Borgias), Monsters: Dark Continent is the nerve-shredding sequel to cult sci-fi thriller Monsters.


Ten years on from the events of Monsters, the 'Infected Zones' have now spread worldwide. In the Middle East a new insurgency has begun. At the same there has also been a proliferation of Monsters in that region. The Army decide to drab in more numbers to help deal with this insurgency.


After a NASA deep space probe crash landed in Mexico, menacing extra-terrestrial life forms emerged. Now, so-called 'Infected Zones' have spread around the globe. With humanity in retreat in many parts of the world, the US is moving to protect its overseas interests. Giant, terrifying sand bugs infest the Arabian Desert, so troops have been sent in to firebomb the creatures, carting their bodies away on giant trucks to be incinerated. In this hostile environment, two soldiers are sent on a high-risk rescue mission.


Gareth Edwards' original Monsters was nominated for a BAFTA and led to him directing the recent Godzilla reboot. He returns as executive producer of this gripping continuation of the story. Monsters: Dark Continent is the directorial debut of another up and coming talented filmmaker, Tom Green, who shot much of the film on location in the extraordinary landscapes of Jordan.
