CATCH A GNARLY WAVE WITH MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY IN THIS SMOKIN’ NEW COMEDY--ALSO STARRING WOODY HARRELSON, SCOTT GLENN AND COUNTRY MUSIC LEGEND WILLIE NELSON


Burbank, CA – What happens to a laid-back soul-surfer when the waves go flat? Matthew McConaughey explores this and other philosophical questions in Surfer, Dude, a hip flick that’s sure to become a cult favorite for those with midnight movie munchies.

Surfer, Dude debuts on DVD and Blu-ray on December 30, 2008. Produced by and starring the sexy Matthew McConaughey, it’s the first film from McConaughey’s production company, j.k. livin productions. Surfer, Dude also stars Woody Harrelson (No Country For Old Men, Semi-Pro), Scott Glenn (The Bourne Ultimatum, W) and country music legend, Willie Nelson – a cast that is sure to help light up the New Year! Directed by S.R. Bindler of the critically acclaimed Hands on a Hard Body documentary, Surfer, Dude will be available on DVD for $29.98 SRP with a $34.98 SRP for the Blu-ray.

Soulful longboard surfer Steve Addington (McConaughey) returns to Malibu for the summer to find his cool hometown vibe corrupted. New sponsorship demands Addington to expand into Virtual Reality Video Games and Reality TV. Unwilling to participate in this new digital reality, he chooses to spend his summer surfing his home break. But in a twist-of-fate, the waves go flat. Out of money, his expense accounts cancelled, and betrayed by his buddies, Addington is backed into a harsh corner. Aided by his manager (Harrelson), his mentor (Glenn), his guardian angel (Nelson), and his summer lover (Alexie Gilmore), Addington has a chance of keeping his cool, but it’s not going to be easy. The dude needs a wave, and there’s never been a drought like this.

The Surfer, Dude DVD and Blu-ray will offer cool bonus features including audio commentary with Matthew McConaughey, Surfer, Dude: The Real Story featurette, deleted scenes, the complete uncensored Surfer, Dude 12-Webisode series, and the theatrical trailer. The Blu-ray version will also be BD-Live capable and will include a bonus disc with a digital copy of the feature film.
