From Universal Pictures Home Entertainment: A Private War

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Dec. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- A war correspondent and her photographer risk their lives to uncover the truth in the extraordinary drama, A PRIVATE WAR, arriving on Digital and the digital movie app Movies Anywhere, Blu-ray^TM, DVD, and On Demand on February 5, 2019 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Inspired by the Vanity Far article "Marie Colvin's Private War" by Marie Brenner, the film is based on an exciting true story that follows legendary war journalist Marie Colvin, played by Academy Award^®  nominee Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl), and prominent war photographer Paul Conroy, played by Jamie Dornan (Fifty Shades Franchise). Hailed by critics as "an incredibly sophisticated, psychologically immersive film" (Tim Gray, Variety), A PRIVATE WAR is a love letter to journalism that depicts the passion and fearlessness of those who report from conflict zones. Directed by Academy-Award^® nominee and critically acclaimed documentarian Matthew Heineman (Cartel Land, City of Ghosts), the film features a stellar supporting cast including Stanley Tucci (The Hunger Games Franchise) and Tom Hollander (Pirates of the Caribbean Franchise). 

Certified Fresh at 89% on Rotten Tomatoes, the relevant biopic received two Golden Globe^® nominations including Best Actress in a Motion Picture for Rosamund Pike's remarkable performance, and Best Original Song for "Requiem For A Private War" by renowned singer-songwriter Annie Lennox.

In a world where journalism is under attack, Marie Colvin (Pike) is one of the most celebrated war correspondents of our time. Her mission is to show the true cost of war, driving her, along with renowned war photographer Paul Conroy (Dornan), to embark on the most dangerous assignments of their lives as they journey to the frontline of conflicts across the globe.

A PRIVATE WAR on Blu-ray^™, DVD and Digital comes packed with exclusive bonus content including the making of the film, the inspiration behind Annie Lennox's song, and a Q&A with talent moderated by Tina Brown at the Women in the World Summit, taking audiences deeper into Marie Colvin's extraordinary voyage and her incredible and timely true story.
