Colin Firth (“The King’s Speech”) and Emily Blunt (“Looper”, “The Devil Wears Prada”) star as a couple that are both running away from their pasts in “Arthur Newman,” coming to DVD and Blu-ray Sept. 3. The film, also starring Anne Heche (HBO’s “Hung”), is directed by Dante Ariola and written by Becky Johnston. Here’s more about “Arthur Newman.”

“Wallace Avery (Colin Firth) hates his job. He’s blown his one shot at living his dream, and his relationships are in shambles. Not wanting to face his life, he stages his death and purchases a new identity as Arthur Newman. His hope-filled new existence is soon interrupted by beautiful, reckless and exciting Mike (Emily Blunt). Together they hit the road, not only stealing the identities of those they encounter, but engaging in an elaborate game of role play and crime that leads far from home. Written by Academy Award® nominee Becky Johnston (Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material Previously Produced or Published, The Prince of Tides, 1991).”
