Paramount Home Media Targets July 9 For The Release Of The Directing Team Of Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer’s Pet Sematary


DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
2019 will be a vintage year for writer Stephen King, especially in the home entertainment marketplace.   The latest arrival is that of the directing team of Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer’s 30th Anniversary remake of Stephen King’s 1983 novel, Pet Sematary.

Paramount Home Media announced this past week that the April theatrical release of Pet Sematary will be departing from its multiplex venues for the home entertainment package media arena on July 9.    The ARR for that early July street date works out to an industry-average of 95 days … box office receipts came in at $54.5 million. 

Planned for release are Combo Pack editions for both the 4K Ultra HD (with Blu-ray) and Blu-ray (with DVD) formats, plus there will be a stand-alone DVD edition.

In addition to this 2019 film version of Pet Sematary being released as a 4K Ultra HD edition, Paramount also served up director Mary Lambert’s original Pet Sematary in March of this year as a new 4K Ultra HD product offering as well … and both Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, in recent days, have gone to their respective film vaults for the release of 4K Ultra HD editions of Stand by Me (Aug. 27) and The Shining (Oct. 1).   And, of course, fans King are eagerly awaiting the two theatrical releases from Warner Bros. — It Chapter Two on Sept. 6 and Doctor Sleep on Nov. 8. 

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph TribbeyAs to the bonus goodies for Paramount’s Pet Sematary, which are exclusive to the Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack and 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack editions, three is an alternate ending, deleted and extended scenes and the three-part presentation titled “Night Terrors: Family Haunting Visions,” featuring Louis (Jason Clarke), Rachel (Amy Seimetz) and Ellie (Jeté Laurence). 

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
There are two featurettes — “The Tale of Timmy Baterman” and “Beyond the Deadfall” — and the four-part production diary — “Chapter One: Resurrection,” “Chapter Two: The Final Resting Place,” “Chapter Three: The Road to Sorrow” and “Chapter Four: Death Comes Home.”

In other release news from Paramount Home Media this past week, you can mark July 16 down on your viewing calendar as the street date for Criminal Minds: The Fourteenth Season.

New member of the team — Daniel Henney as Matt Simmons — parts stuffed in suitcases in Naples, Florida and some gruesome goings in Detroit are just a few of the twists and turns in the latest full season of Criminal Minds.

Mill Creek Entertainment Expands Its Aug. 13 Release Calendar Of Priced-To-Collect DVD And Blu-ray Product Offerings


DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Against the backdrop of the Cold War and a nuclear arms race came the 1958 novel from two former World War II Navy veterans, Eugene Burdick and William Lederer.   It was well-received, caused waves of discussion and even, reports say, caused president Eisenhower to order a review of the country’s Southeast Asia policies.

The book in question, The Ugly American, was adapted for the screen by director George Englund (from a script by Stewart Stern — twice Oscar-nominated for his screenwriting, Rachel, Rachel and Teresa; he won the Emmy for Sybil) and released theatrically in the spring of 1963. 
  
Instead of the book’s vignette approach, Stern simplified the storyline and focused on the arrival of the American ambassador, played by Marlon Brando, to the fictional country of Sarkhan (a stand-in for South Vietnam).   His slow-to-realize how little U.S. foreign policy understood about the region and culture plays out against a backdrop of violence, betrayal and eventual revolution.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Word arrived this past week that Mill Creek Entertainment will be debuting a Blu-ray edition of The Ugly American as part of its August mix of priced-to-collect DVD and Blu-ray product offerings.

The street date will be Aug. 13 … of note, already in place on that date for release are four new additions to the company’s Retro VHS Packaging line of priced-to-collect Blu-ray releases (Roxanne, The New Kids, White Line Fever and True Believer).

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph TribbeyMarlon Brando and The Ugly American, that’s just the warm-up for Mill Creek Entertainment on Aug. 13.   The company also has four-priced-to-collect DVD releases.

Leading the parade is the four-disc, eight-movie set titled Hart to Hart: Movies are Murder Collection.  Included is this mystery collection, starring Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers as amateur detectives Jonathan and Jennifer Hart, are all eight of the made-for-TV movies that followed the series five-year, 110-episode run.

These are (with the original air dates): Hart to Hart Returns (November 5, 1993), Home is Where the Hart Is (February 18, 1994), Crimes of the Hart (March 25, 1994), Old Friends Never Die (May 6, 1994), Secrets of the Hart (March 6, 1995), Two Harts in 3/4 Time (November 26, 1995), Harts in High Season (March 24, 1996) and Till Death Do Us Hart (August 25, 1996).

Next up is the double-disc set of Pan Am: The Complete Series, starring Christina Ricci, Margot Robbie (who plays Sharon Tate in Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood, which opens theatrically on July 26), Michael Mosley, Kelli Garner, Karine Vanasse and Mike Vogel as crew members of Pan American World Airways during its heyday in the early 1960s.    All 14 episodes are included here.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Director Marvin J. Chomsk’s 1986 epic two-part mini-series adaptation of Peter Kurth’s 1985 best-selling novel “Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna” — retitled for broadcast as Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna — is also heading home on DVD on Aug. 13 … and complete with Digital Copy.

Starring Amy Irving as Anna Anderson — the 1920s mental patient in Berlin who claims to be the surviving daughter of Czar Nicholas II — and Olivia de Havilland (Dowager Empress Maria), Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna was nominated for four Emmy Awards (winning two) and four Golden Globes, winning the Emmy for Best Supporting Actress for Olivia de Havilland.

Rounding out the Aug. 13 list is Jungle Book and Friends Collection, which features full-length animated movies — The Jungle Book, Cinderella, The Legend of Snow White and Simba The King Lion: The Last Battle — plus a Digital Copy bonus that unlocks six additional animated adventures — Welcome Back Pinocchio, Pocahontas I: Princess of American Indians, The Thief of Baghdad, The Three Musketeers, Hercules and Robin Hood.   All for just $9.98 … that’s a deal!!!
