Director Brian Levant’s Sophia
Grace & Rosie’s Royal Adventure will be making its DVD and
Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack debut from Warner Home Video on May 20.
Cousins Sophia Grace
Brownlee and Rosie McClelland, the ten and seven year-old singing sensations of
The Ellen Show — and potential heir apparent to the Olsen Twins — star in their
own kid-friendly adventure. Ellen
DeGeneres sends them on assignment to the fictional land of Switzelvania as
“special correspondents” to cover the coronation of the new queen!
Bonus goodies for Sophia
Grace & Rosie’s Royal Adventure include the featurette titled
“Pink! Pink! Pink! The Story of Pink,” a music tribute “The Royal Music Jam:
Laying Down The Beats with Sophia Grace & Rosie,” a blooper reel, outtakes
and “Ellen’s Favorite Tea Times Moments.”
Also added to the release
calendar this week is a Blu-ray rework of director Oliver Stone’s Alexander. It arrives at retail on June 3 as Alexander:
The Ultimate Cut (with UltraViolet), which will be the third version of
the film — the theatrical release, a 2007 “Director’s Cut” and now “The
Ultimate Cut.”
This is where Stone wanted
the film to be when he originally conceived it, but contractual obligations
demanded a finished theatrical release that came in under three hours and it
also had to meet certain MPAA rating standards. Those issues — those burdens — are no longer
in play.
The double-dic Blu-ray
SKU features both the original Theatrical Cut (it clocked in at two hours and
55 minutes), while the “The Ultimate Cut” runs some 31 minutes longer and
includes an intermission.
Bonus features include a
newly-prepared documentary on the making of the film, which is titled “The Real
Alexander and the World He Made,” plus Stone provides commentary on “The
Ultimate Cut” and is joined by Ancient History Professor Robin Lane Fox for
commentary on the original theatrical cut.
Additionally, there are five production featurettes — “Resurrecting
Alexander,” “Perfect Is The Enemy of Good,” “The Death of Alexander,” “Vangelis
Scores Alexander” and “Fight Against Time: Oliver Stone's Alexander by Sean
Stone.”
Elsewhere on the
new-to-DVD release calendar are five priced-to-move animated compilation
collections being brought to market for just $9.98 each on Apr. 1 under the
“And Friends“ promotional banner — these are: Batman and Friends, Bugs
Bunny and Friends, Daffy Duck and Friends, Superman
and Friends and Tweety Pie and Friends.
Lastly (for this week),
two four-disc TV series collections will be ready for fans on June 10 … these
are: Major
Crimes: The Complete Second Season and Rizzoli & Isles: The Complete
Fourth Season.
