The Campaign Heads Home in October

Just a few days ahead of the 2012 Presidential election, Warner Home Video will bring The Campaign to Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download October 30. The political mudslinging comedy, from director Jay Roach, received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics (read our review here) and earned just over $85 million in the U.S.

Here's a synopsis of the picture, direct from Warner Bros., "When long-term congressman Cam Brady (Will Ferrell) commits a major public gaffe before an upcoming election, a pair of ultra-wealthy CEOs plot to put up a rival candidate and gain influence over their North Carolina district. Their man: naïve Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis), director of the local Tourism Center.

At first, Marty appears to be the unlikeliest possible choice but, with the help of his new benefactors' support, a cutthroat campaign manager and his family's political connections, he soon becomes a contender who gives the charismatic Cam plenty to worry about. As Election Day closes in, the two are locked in a dead heat, with insults quickly escalating to injury until all they care about is burying each other, in this mud-slinging, back-stabbing, home-wrecking comedy."

The Campaign will come to Blu-ray encoded in 1080p, mixed in 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. The DVD will feature an anamorphic widescreen transfer and 5.1 Dolby Digital audio. The discs will include the following features:

• Extended Cut with 11 hilarious minutes of added footage
• Line-O-Rama
• Deleted Scenes
• Gag Reel
• DVD Copy
• Ultraviolet Copy

With the exception of the deleted scenes and UltraViolet copy of the film, bonus features are exclusive to either the single-disc Blu-ray or Blu-ray/DVD combo pack.

Suggested retail is set at $29.98 for the single-disc Blu-ray, $35.99 for the Blu-ray/DVD combo pack and $28.98 for the DVD. Amazon pre-orders are already available. Current prices are $20.99 for the single-disc Blu-ray, $25.19 for the Blu-ray combo pack, and $19.99 for the DVD.
