MVD Entertainment Group’s
popular “Rewind Collection” — which is the company’s specialty label for “classics
and more from the video store” — has a new promotional banner in the works with
the launch of the “Marquee Collection.”
The Blu-ray and DVD product
offerings under the “Marquee Collection” will feature a mix of studio and indie
films that are a little too new to be cult, but just old enough to be “catalog”
… that middle area; solid and entertaining films that are certainly worth a
second look among collectors and film aficionados.
A great example — and the
first release under MVD’s “Marquee Collection” on Aug. 14 — is director Kevin
Bray’s 2004 theatrical hit, Walking Tall, starring Dwayne
Johnson.
This all-action crime
thriller is an update version of filmmaker Phil Karlson’s 1973 film release of Walking
Tall, which was based on actual events surrounding the life of Sheriff
Buford Pusser (played by Joe Don Baker).
This 2004 version changes some of the names, places and events, but it
is basically the same story of a small town sheriff — Dwayne Johnson as Chris
Vaughn — who takes on the local gambling, drug and even law enforcement
problems after winning a rigged trial and becoming the new sheriff. Johnny Knoxville and Ashley Scott co-star.
Bonus goodies include two
commentary options. The first features
Dwayne Johnson and the second includes director Kevin Bray (All
About the Benjamins), film editor Robert Ivison and director of
photography Glen MacPherson.
There are also deleted
scenes, a blooper reel, an alternate ending and the featurette titled “Fight
the Good Fight.”
