Paramount Home Media Picks Aug. 27 For Rocketman • Oct. For Star Trek: Picard And Star Trek: Discovery - Season Two ... And MORE!!!


DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Paramount Home Media announced this past week that actor-turned-filmmaker Dexter Fletcher’s biopic saluting the career of recording artist Elton John, Rocketman, will be heading to the home entertainment packaged media marketplace on Aug. 27.

Box office receipts in the domestic market are right at $95 million, with roughly the same amount recorded in the film’s foreign theatrical venues.   The ARR comes in at 88 days.

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

Taron Egerton (Kingsman: The Secret Service, Kingsman: The Golden Circle and as the voice of Johnny in the animated musical, Sing) absolutely shines as Elton John, with Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot, King Kong, Jumper, etc.) registering nicely as long-time Elton John collaborator, Bernie Taupin.   And Richard Madden (best known to audiences as Robb Stark in Games of Thrones) does a solid turn as the more-or-less villain of the piece, John Reid, Elton’s manager and one-time lover (who also briefly managed the rock group Queen … portrayed by Aidan Gillen in Bohemian Rhapsody).

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Filmmaker Dexter Fletcher takes us on a musical fantasy tour of Elton John’s life, moving events around, taking a few liberties here and there, but what emerges on the screen is nothing short of a rocking good time.  

As to bonus nuggets, Paramount has assembled a nice compliment of extras that expand the movie viewing experience.   These begin with extended musical numbers (with an introduction by Fletcher) that were trimmed (for running time) in the film itself.   Included in the mix are full performances of “The Bitch is Back,” “Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting),” “Breaking Down the Walls of Heartache” and “Honky Cat.”

Additionally, there are ten deleted and/or extended scenes (also with an introduction by Fletcher) and five production featurettes — “It’s Going to Be a Wild Ride: Creative Vision,” “Becoming Elton John: Taron’s Transformation,” “Larger Than Life: Production Design & Costuming,” “Full Tilt: Staging the Musical Numbers” and “Music Reimagined: The Studio Sessions.”
DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey


There are also two song-related features.   The first is the Rocketman sing-along feature for 13 of the songs featured in the film.   The second is “Juke Box” jump-to feature — bypass the film’s narrative and jump to any song selection.

The home entertainment announcement for Rocketman would be news enough for any single week, but Paramount Home Media is not done yet!!

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
The blast off continues with another “rocketman,” an Oct. 15 Blu-ray salute to Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the starship USS Enterprise.   

Planned for Blu-ray release on that date is a six-disc package featuring all four of the “Next Generation” feature films — Star Trek Generations, Star Trek: First Contact, Star Trek: Insurrection and Star Trek: Nemesis — plus two feature-length films drawn from the television series … Star Trek: The Next Generation: Best of Both Worlds and Star Trek: The Next Generation: Chain of Command.

The collection comes loaded with bonus goodies, including a commentary option for all six films.

It is no accident that Picard is being showcased in this fan-pleasing Blu-ray collection.   Already in the works (in production right now) is the ten-episode presentation from CBS Television Studios — for broadcast on CBS All Access — in early 2020.   Titled Star Trek: Picard, the series takes up the storyline 20 years after the action in Star Trek: Nemesis and features original cast members, Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, Jeri Ryan and Marina Sirtis, plus new arrivals, Santiago Cabrera, Michelle Hurd, Evan Evagora, Alison Pill, Harry Treadaway and Isa Briones.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph TribbeyThe Blu-ray of Star Trek: Picard Movie & TV Collection on Oct. 15 serves as a nice promotional lead-in to the arrival of the new television series.   It’s very smart; very clever.

Continuing with news from the Star Trek universe, Star Trek: Discovery - Season Two beams in on Nov. 12 as both four-disc DVD and Blu-ray sets.   All 14 episodes from the series second “re-boot” season are included here.   And yes, a third season is in the works.

As to bonus features, there are deleted scenes, a gag reel, selected episode commentaries and an impressive collection of nine production featurettes — “Enter the Enterprise,” “Putting it Together,” “The Red Angel,” “Designing Discovery: Season Two,” “Prop Me Up: Season Two,” “Dress for Success: Season Two,” “Creature Comforts: Season Two,” “Creating Space” and “Star Trek Discovery: The Voyage of Season Two.”

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
But wait, there’s more on the way from Paramount Home Media!!!   

A double-disc DVD collection of Life with Lucy: The Complete Series awaits fans on Oct. 8.   All 13 episodes of this short-lived series are included here.  

Also on the TV-on-DVD front on Oct. 1 will be Gunsmoke: The 15th Season, Volume One (a four-disc set) and Gunsmoke: The 15th Season, Volume Two (three discs).

And last, but not least, kids can roll with Chase and the PAW Patrol team in the DVD debut of PAW Patrol: Pups Chase a Mystery on Oct. 8.   A cell phone mystery in Adventure Bay, a surprise birthday party, a sudden blackout and a switch-a-roo involving Chase and Chickaletta are part of the fun in this PAW Patrol collection.
