THE TICKET
Dan Stevens, who plays the beast in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, is not a visual effect in The Ticket but his character James does regain his vision. This miraculous change causes James to do things differently in his life and better himself. New home. Better-paying job. Tailored suits. That’s just the start. But his self-improvement and ambition affects those who know him best: his dutiful wife (Malin Akerman) and friend Bob (Oliver Platt).
The Ticket from filmmaker Ido Fluk feels like Limitless starring Bradley Cooper in some respect, but it is Fluk’s visual style that draws your attention. This title, part of Shout! Factory’s Shout Select line, comes with the original theatrical trailer and an audio commentary with Fluk and writer Sharon Mashihi.
