Paramount Home Media Distribution will be flying on Feb. 19
with a newly minted edition of director Tony Scott’s 1986 smash Top
Gun on Blu-ray. Not just any
Blu-ray, but a 3D presentation of the Tom Cruise action flick — it will also be
making an IMAX theatrical debut as a 3D presentation nationwide on Feb. 8, so
the buzz should be good for retail action.
According to Paramount, the film was re-mastered from the
original negative scans and then converted to 3D under the direct supervision
of the late Tony Scott.
The two-disc Blu-ray SKU (with UltraViolet) will feature
both 3D and 2D presentations, with bonus goodies that include commentary from
filmmaker Tony Scott, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and co-writer Jack Epps, Jr.,
a six-part documentary on the film’s production, four music video, a pair of
featurettes and an interview with Tom Cruise.
In other release news this week, look for the Comedy Central
DVD presentation of Kristen Schaal: Live at the Fillmore to also street on Feb. 19.
This is her first stand up special, which was taped live
this past June at the legendary Fillmore in San Franscisco. Between regular stints on the Daily
Show as a “special correspondent,” a hectic stand up comedy schedule,
movie appearances and voice work … you have to wonder when she finds time to
sleep.
For fans, the DVD release Kristen Schaal: Live at the
Fillmore is welcome news … it arrives uncensored and with extra
material not included in the Comedy Central cable presentation.
Not done yet! On
Mar. 12 a fully restored presentation of director Cecil B. DeMille’s 1949
Technicolor biblical epic, Samson and Delilah — starring Victor
Mature and Hedy Lamarr — will be making its long-awaited debut on DVD.
