Wolfe announced this past week that writer/director Thomas
Bezucha’s critically-acclaimed and multi-awarding-winning film release of Big
Eden will be celebrating its 15th Anniversary in a big way
on Oct. 13 with the debut of a newly remastered Blu-ray edition.
Big Eden is a timeless tale of finding the things that are important
in life — community, friendship, happiness and love — in the most unlikely of
places. In the case of Henry Hart (Arye
Gross — as Perlmutter in the television series Castle, plus such films
as Minority
Report, Burning Down the House, Harvest, etc.), a gay man and a
successful New York City-based artist, he has “escaped” from Big Eden, the
small Montana town of his youth. Those
days are behind him … or so he thinks.
When news arrives that Sam (played by late George Coe), his
grandfather — who raised him — has suffered a stroke and is bedridden, he drops
everything and heads west.
What he
finds — and how filmmaker Thomas Bezucha handles his story — is something
unexpected. All of the things that he
expected in the city have been waiting for him to discover in the small town
environment of his youth.
Bonus features include a vintage commentary option featuring
writer/director Thomas Bezucha and a newly-prepared featuretted titled
“Remembering Big Eden,” which features video sessions with Bezucha and Gross,
plus actors Eric Schweig, Tim DeKay and Louise Fletcher.
