Paramount Home Media
Distribution has picked up director Anne Fontaine’s film adaptation of writer
Doris Lessing’s whisper-thin “cougar” seduction novel, “The Grandmothers” —
retitled for its theatrical release as Adore — for delivery on DVD and
Blu-ray to the domestic home entertainment market on Dec. 10.
The ARR for this
Australian import teaming Naomi Watts with Robin Wright works out to just 95
days and ticket sales for the film’s limited theatrical run currently stand at
$318,932.
Attractive “cougars” and
long-time friends and neighbors Lil and Roz (Watts and Wright respectively)
each have a son — played by Xavier Samuel as Ian, Lil’s son, and James
Frecheville as Tom, Roz’s son — who are also goods friends and as the story
unfolds take turns seducing the other’s mother. Oh my!
In defense of the
“children” — any red-blooded young male would have a difficult time with the
likes of Naomi Watts and Robin Wright as available, in a near-resort setting
and objects of desire. However, with
that said, therapy is definitely in the cards for all involved in this
sexually-charged and exceptionally erotic tale of questionable decisions.
In other release news
from Paramount this week, the Comedy Central production of Bill Cosby: Far From Finished
will be checking in on DVD on Nov. 26.
