Personal Shopper - On UK Disc and Digital July

Kristen Stewart (American Ultra) delivers the performance of her career in the literally haunting PERSONAL SHOPPER, arriving on digital platforms, Blu-ray and DVD this July courtesy of Icon Film Distribution.

An ethereal and mysterious ghost story as much as it is a meditation on grief and isolation, PERSONAL SHOPPER follows Maureen (Stewart), a high-fashion personal shopper to the stars who is also a spiritual medium. Grieving the recent death of her twin brother, she haunts his Paris home, determined to make contact with him.

From Olivier Assayas, the internationally-acclaimed director of Clouds of Sils Maria and Summer Hours, PERSONAL SHOPPER was met with near-universal critical acclaim following its theatrical release earlier this year. Original, compelling and with a game-changing central performance at its heart, PERSONAL SHOPPER is one of the essential home entertainment releases of the summer and a film that will continue to grow in reputation for many years to come.

PERSONAL SHOPPER, is released to UK digital platforms July 10th, and on UK Blu-ray and DVD from July 17th courtesy of Icon Film Distribution.

Milla Jovovich returns as Alice for one last battle in this sixth and final outing in the Resident Evil franchise, which comes to UK Disc June 12 from Sony.

Picking up after the events of “Retribition”, Alice is forced to return to the ruins of Racoon City, where evil corporate scientist Albert Wesker has set up shop in the old Umbrella Hive.

However, she also discovers what few human survivors remain in the desolate city are facing a new threat, from hundreds of undead who are being lured there by Umbrella corp soldiers.
