Abel Ferrara, one of American independent cinema's most distinctive artists, ventures into daring new territory in a story of people facing nothing less than the end of the world. 4:44 Last Days on Earth, starring Willem Dafoe and Shanyn Leigh as New York artists facing their doom together, arrives on high-definition Blu-ray and DVD from IFC Films and MPI Media Group on July 17, 2012, with SRPs, respectively, of $29.98 and $24.98.

Tomorrow at 4:44 a.m., the world is going to come to an end, brought about by the destruction of the ozone layer. As panic hits the Earth's population, two lovers - actor and recovering drug addict Cisco (Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe of Antichrist, The Last Temptation Of Christ and Spider-Man) and painter Skye (Shanyn Leigh, Public Enemies) - seclude themselves in their Manhattan apartment to spend their last hours of existence together. Accepting their doomed fate, Cisco and Skye call their loved ones to say goodbye, they make love, they order Chinese takeout - and discover more about themselves and each other in a few short hours than most people do in an entire lifetime.
