Anchor Bay Entertainment and The Weinstein Company just announced the highly anticipated Academy Award nominated movie The King’s Speech for release on DVD and Blu-Ray Disc in April.

After the death of his father King George V (Michael Gambon) and the scandalous abdication of his brother King Edward VIII (Guy Pearce), Bertie (Colin Firth) – who has suffered from a debilitating speech impediment all his life – is suddenly crowned King George VI of England.  With his country on the brink of war and in desperate need of a leader, his wife, Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter), the future Queen Mother, arranges for her husband to see an eccentric speech therapist, Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush). After a rough start, the two delve into an unorthodox course of treatment and eventually forge a genuine friendship.  Through this unexpected bond, the new monarch will overcome his stammer to find his voice, inspire his people, and rally the world.

“The King’s Speech” will include a Commentary Track by director Tom Hooper, a Making-of Featurette as well as Historic Archival Footage of the actual King George VI.

Arriving on April 19, “The King’s Speech” can be yours for $29.98 on DVD or $39.99 on Blu-Ray Disc.
