How would you like to watch a time-travelling Sam Rockwell recruit a bunch of today’s best actors at a 24-hour diner to save the world from a killer AI? Well, you can do that literally right now, as Gore Verbinski’s new film, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, just became available at home for digital download.
The release comes just a month after the film’s theatrical release, and while that certainly isn’t a lot of time, it could have been sooner. That was until the film did fairly well in theaters and the distributor decided to hold back the digital release just a bit longer. And now, it’s out.
We’re not lying about that premise, either. The film is an insane sci-fi time travel story about a man (Rockwell) who has figured out that the correct combination of people who can save his future from a killer AI are all in a Norm’s Diner in Los Angeles, CA. He’s just not sure how many people and who they are yet. So, he’s done this hundreds of times, and we pick up on the run that it just might be the one. Among the people chosen are characters played by Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña, Zazie Beetz, and Juno Temple.
It’s a fun movie that is definitely worth your time, and if you’d like to know more, you can read our full review here. Also, we talked to the film’s director, Gore Verbinski, about it too. That’s at this link. Verbinski is best known for directing the Pirates of the Caribbean movies as well as the animated hit Rango, but he hadn’t made a film in a while. Hopefully, he gets to make more in this world because this is a fun movie that deserves to be expanded even further.
Oh, and if you’re more the physical media type, the film is coming to 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on April 21. Or, again, it’s out now wherever you get digital downloads.
