Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme Lands Safely on 4K Blu-ray and Digital in July

The Phoenician Scheme wasn’t one of Wes Anderson’s best films as far as box office is concerned, but the reviews have generally been positive, and the film is comfortably Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. That said, it’s a safe bet that Wes Anderson’s faithful fans will be adding the film to their Blu-ray collections alongside the new Criterion Collection box set. You can do that starting today right here on Amazon, where the film is available to pre-order on 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray, both with digital copies.

Synopsis: The Phoenician Scheme follows Anatole “Zsa-zsa” Korda (Benicio del Toro; Sicario) – ruthless, unscrupulous, one of the richest men in Europe – who is constantly fighting for his life. During the final stages of a vast, decades-long, career-defining business project, Korda survives a sixth assassination attempt and must appoint a successor: his long-estranged daughter Liesl (Mia Threapleton; Shadows) – a nun. With personal tutor Bjorn (Michael Cera; Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) in tow, the trio set off on a globetrotting adventure to achieve Korda’s epic mission.
