Mill Creek Entertainment has tabbed Aug. 2 as the street
date for DVD and Blu-ray editions of director Robert Lieberman’s 1996 epic
mini-series, Titanic, starring George C. Scott as the captain of the doomed
ship, Captain Edward J. Smith.
Others in this all-star cast include, Peter Gallagher, Catherine
Zeta-Jones, Eva Marie Saint, Tim Curry, Kevin McNulty and Marilu Henner as the
iconic Molly Brown.
As with director James Cameron’s theatrical smash of the
same year, Lieberman (Fire in the Sky, Table for Five,
etc.) blended fictional characters — in this case three separate stories — with
both the actual events (his mini-series was the first film to show the ship actually
breaking in two) and the crew and celebrities who sailed on the ill-fated
voyage.
The Blu-ray and DVD releases of Titanic from Mill Creek
Entertainment on Aug. 2 are just the “tip of the ice berg” as ten additional
DVD releases are also slated to ship to retail on same date.
Included in the mix are two additional mini-series, priced
at just $14.98 each: World War II: When Lions Roared - The
Emmy-Winning Mini-Series, starring John Lithgow as president Roosevelt,
Bob Hoskins as Winston Churchill and Michael Caine as Stalin, and The
Devil's Mistress (aka: The Devil's Whore), a four-part
historical drama starring Andrea Riseborough (The Silent Storm, Oblivion,
Birdman, etc.) as the fictional Angelica Fanshawe opposite Dominic West
(as Noah in The Affair TV series, plus such films as Money Monster, Centurion,
etc.) as Oliver Cromwell.
Also drawn from the TV arena are Charlie's Angels: The Complete
Series, a massive 20 disc set featuring all 110 episodes of this action
series starring Kate Jackson, Cheryl Ladd, Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith, Shelley
Hack and Tanya Roberts as the various “Angels” who work for the disembodied
Charlie (voiced by John Forsythe) and the short-lived Cashmere Mafia: The Complete
Series (a double-disc set), starring Lucy Liu, Frances O'Connor,
Miranda Otto and Bonnie Somerville.
Also on Aug. 2 is the DVD release of Milton Berle's Low Impact/High
Comedy Workout, a fitness program that is combined with heavy doses of
“Uncle Miltie’s” humor … bonus goodies include four episodes from The
Milton Berle Show featuring Frank Sinatra, Peter Lawford, Carol
Channing, Ronald Reagan, Dolores Grey and Zsa Zsa Gabor.
Rounding out the Aug. 2 “title wave” are five KidVid selections:
Dennis
the Menace: The Complete Series (animated, a nine-disc set), Heathcliff:
The Complete Series (also nine discs), Talk to the Animals (10 adventures
featuring animals and humans interacting … hosted by Nicky Buckley and
featuring veterinarian Dr. Chris Brown) and two new Baby First releases (each
with a bonus CD) — Baby First: Out and About! and Baby
First: Color Crew - Shades of Fun.
