The Watch Is Headed To Blu-ray in November

The Watch, Fox Home Entertainment’s story of a neighborhood crew who spends a lot of time jerking around until a real alien-oriented emergency arises, didn’t spend too long in the box office, which is pretty sucky for a film boasting three big names and Richard Ayoade.

Due to the situation with Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman, the upcoming Akiva Schaffer-directed comedy Neighborhood Watch has hit a few speed bumps.

Fox Pulls Neighborhood Watch Marketing In Wake Of Trayvon Martin Case

And he's in good company too-- as sick as you may be of some of the nonsense Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn has made, they're more than balanced out by the likes of British import Ayoade (of The IT Crowd and director of Submarine) and the talent behind the screen...
