BURBANK, California, November 20, 2009 — The Boys are Back, the deeply moving and often
funny tale of a man who finds himself suddenly responsible for raising two sons alone, comes to

this irreverent and independent sportswriter who suddenly faces single fatherhood is inspired by
the true story of Australian Simon Carr, The Boys are Back is an original and uplifting story of one
family’s journey. Exclusive bonus features include a behind-the-scenes photographic tour and a

DVD Bonus Features • The Boys Are Back: A Photographic Journey — A picture is worth a 1,000 words as
director Scott Hicks takes us on a pictorial tour of the making of the film.
• A Father and Two Sons, On Set — Simon Carr, whose memoir inspired the movie, and
his real-life sons visit the set. The death of his wife leaves wisecracking sportswriter Joe Warr (Clive Owen) with a curious six year-old (Nicholas McAnulty) and a rebellious teen from a previous marriage (George MacKay) to bring up in a household devoid of feminine influence. So Joe takes on parenting the only way he knows how—full throttle. With an exuberance born of necessity, he teaches his boys to meet the joy and fragility of life head on. The Boys Are Back chronicles the fierce love and loyalty the three Warr men discover for each other as they make their way through the trials of everyday life. The Boys Are Back is priced at $29.99 on DVD.
