The Fan Carpet's Paul Risker talks to Giancarlo Esposito and David Lyons for the Home Entertainment release of Revolution. From producer J.J Abrams (Lost, Super 8) and writer Eric Kripke (Supernatural, Boogeyman), comes the action-packed and gripping science fiction drama REVOLUTION arriving on Blu-ray and DVD on 30 September 2013, courtesy of Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. This epic 20 part adventure thriller is looking to find answers and hope in a post-apocalyptic dystopian future, a world that has been corrupted by power. With an explosive pilot episode directed by Iron Man's Jon Favreau, Revolution stars an experienced and talented television cast, including; Billy Burke (The Twilight Saga, Red Riding Hood, 24) as Miles Matheson; Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad, Once Upon a Time, Law and Order) as Major Tom Neville; Tracy Spiridakos (Being Human, Psych, Rise of the Planet of the Apes) as concerned sibling Charlie Matheson; Elizabeth Mitchell (Lost, House, Boston Legal) as Rachel Matheson; Graham Rogers (Crazy Kind of Love, Struck by Lightning) as Charlie's brother Danny; Tim Guinee (Iron Man, CSI, 24) as their father Ben Matheson; David Lyons (Safe Haven, The Cape, ER) as evil dictator Sebastian Monroe. Revolution also features a stellar supporting cast of Zak Orth (Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Romeo + Juliet, Music and Lyrics) as Aaron Pittman and Daniella Alonso (The Hills Have Eyes, CSI, One Tree Hill) as Nora Clayton. The first episode begins with a family struggling to reunite in a post-apocalyptic American landscape: a world of empty cities, local militias and heroic freedom fighters, where every single piece of technology has mysteriously blacked out. A drama with sweeping scope and intimate focus, Revolution is also about family - both the family you're born into and the family you choose. Charlie's (Spiridakos) life is dramatically changed when a local militia arrives and kills her father, who mysteriously - and unbeknownst to her - had something to do with the 'blackout'. When her brother Danny Matheson is kidnapped by one of the militia leaders, for a darker purpose, Charlie must reconnect with their estranged Uncle, a former U.S. Marine living a reclusive life. Together, with a rogue band of survivors, they set out to rescue Danny, overthrow the militia, and ultimately re-establish the United States of America. All the while, they explore the enduring mystery of why the power failed, and if (or how) it will ever return. This is a swashbuckling journey of hope and rebirth seen through the eyes of one strong-willed young woman. In a world with no electricity one family must prove their courage and bravery to ignite the spark of the human race. Take back the power as REVOLUTION comes to Blu-ray and DVD on 30 September 2013 from Warner Home Video.
