Paramount Home Media's The Dovekeepers On DVD And Blu-ray This Coming July 14

Paramount Home Media Distribution announced this past week that director Yves Simoneau’s mini-series adaptation of Alice Hoffman’s best-selling novel, The Dovekeepers, will be available as both DVD and Blu-ray product offerings on July 14.

The fabled siege of Masada is seen through the eyes of three women trapped in the mountain-top fortress — Shirah (Cote de Pablo — best known as agent Ziva David on NCIS television series), Yael (Rachel Brosnahan — House of Cards, Beautiful Creatures) and Aziza (Kathryn Prescott — Finding Carter, Skins).  

Sam Neill — in something of a dramatic invention — plays Josephus, the Roman scholar who reported on the events and upon whose account historians rely on to understand what happened during General Lucius Flavius Silva’s extended siege of the seemingly impregnable fortress. 

Bonus features include the 30-minute behind-the-scenes featurette titled “Taking Flight: The Dovekeepers.”
