The Jane Austen adaptation starring Kate Beckinsale is coming to Blu-ray in September.  

In an early announcement to retailers, Sony is preparing 'Love & Friendship' for Blu-ray on September 6.

'Love & Friendship' is an adaptation of Jane Austen's novella Lady Susan in which a beautiful young widow Lady Susan Vernon (Kate Beckinsale) visits her in-laws’ estate while waiting for social chatter about her personal indiscretions to pass. While there, the intelligent, flirtatious, and amusingly egotistical Lady Vernon decides to secure a husband for herself and her rather reluctant daughter, Frederica. Enlisting the assistance of her old friend Alicia (Chloe Sevigny), Lady Vernon attracts the simultaneous attention of the young, handsome Reginald DeCourcy, the rich and silly Sir James Martin and the divinely handsome, but married, Lord Manwaring, complicating matters severely.

Supplements have not been announced yet, but the Blu-ray will feature 1080p video and a DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtrack.

Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $30.99.
