RLJE Films, a business unit of AMC Networks, announced today that their Sci-Fi/Fantasy filmDualwill be heading to DVD and Blu-ray on June 01, 2025.
DualstarsKaren Gillan(Guardians of the GalaxyFranchise) andAaron Paul(Breaking Bad), and follows the character Sarah, who decides to undergo a cloning procedure in the hope that it will ease her loss for those she cares about and help them grieve when she is gone after she receives a terminal diagnosis. Things don’t go to plan, however, when she miraculously survives and makes a full recovery. Unable to stop her clone’s creation, she is ordered to face off against her clone in a court-mandated duel to the death. The film follows her year-long training as she tunes her body and mind and prepares to face off against herself in a battle of life and death. In addition to Gillan and Paul, the film also starsTheo James(Divergentfranchise) andBeulah Koale(Hawaii: Five-0).
Collider’s ownRoss Bonaimegave the film a B- in hisreview, saying that “Stearns’ screenplay almost always zigs where the audience is expecting it to zag. Sarah’s recovery is only the first of many misdirections, as Stearns frequently pulls the rug out from under his audience. Quite often, these shifts in expectations lead to some of the funniest moments in the film.”
