Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

This film has been sort of a blip at the box office, especially considering Hollywood heavyweights Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock both star. However, the main focus really falls on Oskar (Thomas Horn), a boy looking for answers about a found key and his own father, who perished in the 9/11 attacks. The drama also stars Max von Sydow, who has the film’s only other Oscar nomination.

Blu-ray Release Date: March 27, 2012
