Mill Creek Entertainment
has tabbed Sept. 26 as the retail-ready date for a special SteelBook
Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack edition of director Joel Schumacher’s summer of 1990
sci-fi thriller, Flatliners, starring Kevin Bacon Julia Roberts, Kiefer
Sutherland, William Baldwin and Oliver Platt.
The special packaging
features vignettes of each character’s haunted past … and the timing of this
collectible release puts it in the market on the eve of director Niels Arden Oplev’s
theatrical launch of the remake (Sept. 29), featuring Ellen Page, Diego Luna,
Nina Dobrev, James Norton and Kiersey Clemons, with Kiefer Sutherland reprising
his role of Nelson.
Shifting to the first
week of October (the 3rd), we find nine new priced-to-collect
releases heading to the home entertainment marketplace from Mill Creek
Entertainment — two Blu-ray and nine DVD selections.
On the Blu-ray front,
look for director Stephen Frears’ 1996 film adaptation of Valerie Martin’s
novel, Mary Reilly, starring Julia Roberts as the title character, a
servant in the household of one Doctor Henry Jekyll. John Malkovich is Doctor Jekyll and the evil
Mister Hyde, while Glenn Close is Farraday, the madam of a house frequented by
Hyde (she makes the mistake of trying to blackmail Hyde), with George Cole as
Mr. Poole, the head of the servants.
Also on the same date is director
Brian Gilbert’s 1988 comedy switch-a-roo, Vice Versa, teaming Judge Reinhold
and Fred Savage as father and son who end up each other’s bodies.
