THE SAPPHIRES Coming To Blu-ray And DVD On August 6

Anchor Bay Entertainment and The Weinstein Company announced today the Blu-ray™ and DVD release of THE SAPPHIRES, inspired by a true story and Wayne Blair’s directorial debut, starring Chris O’Dowd (Bridesmaids and HBO’s “Girls”).

Four smart, gutsy young women become unlikely stars in the most unlikely of places, with the most unlikely of allies, in THE SAPPHIRES.  Set in 1968, the film follows Gail (Deborah Mailman), Cynthia (Miranda Tapsell), Julie (Jessica Mauboy), and Kay (Shari Sebbens) as they seize a risky, but irresistible, chance to launch a professional career singing for U.S. troops in Vietnam.

Under the guidance of an R&B-loving Irish musician, Dave Lovelace (Chris O’Dowd), the girls transform themselves into a sizzling soul act and set out to make a name for themselves hundreds of miles from home.  Inspired by a true story, THE SAPPHIRES is a celebration of music, family and self-discovery.

THE SAPPHIRES sings to retail on August 6, 2013 for an SRP of $30.99 for the Blu-ray™/DVD Combo Pack and $26.98 for the DVD.
