Mill Creek Entertainment To Release The King of Queens: The Complete Series As 22-Disc DVD Collection On Oct. 15


DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Last week it was the news that Charlie’s Angels: The Complete Series would be heading home as a massive 20-disc Blu-ray set on Oct. 29 from Mill Creek Entertainment that caught everyone’s attention.

Without missing a beat, Mill Creek Entertainment was back again this week with news about another complete collection on DVD.   Timed for release on Oct. 15 is the 22-disc DVD set of The King of Queens: The Complete Series.

All 207 episodes — yes, you read that right, 207 episodes (pilot, plus 206 broadcasts) — from this hit comedy series’ nine full seasons that began in September of 1998 and signed off with the two-part finale in May of 2007.

Also getting streets this past week are two new Blu-ray releases.    The first of these is director Matthijs van Heiningen, Jr.’s 2011 sci-fi thriller,
The Thing, starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Of note, this is actually a prequel to filmmaker John Carpenter’s 1982 film of the same name starring Kurt Russell … which, in turn, was a remake of director Christian Nyby’s 1951 classic, The Thing from Another World (produced by Howard Hawks).

The street date for this Blu-ray presentation of The Thing will be Oct. 29.

Arriving on the same day is the Blu-ray double-feature of director Gillian Armstrong’s Christmas of 1994 film adaptation of the Louisa May Alcott novel, Little Women (Winona Ryder was nominated for Best Actress for her performance here as Jo), which is teamed with writer/director Sofia Coppola’s 2006 film release of Marie Antoinette, starring Kirsten Dunst as the doomed French monarch.

4K Ultra HD Presentation Of It's A Wonderful Life From Paramount Home Media On Oct. 29


DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Paramount Home Media has circled Oct. 29 on its distribution release calendar as the street date for a newly remastered presentation of director Frank Capra’s 1946 Best Picture nominee, It’s a Wonderful Life.

This 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack release has been restored from the original nitrate negative and two fine grain masters from the 1940s — a full year of restoration work went into this project.  According to Paramount, each frame of the film was restored from the best of these three sources — most of the nitrate source material has long since deteriorated, but fortunately the fine grain masters have held up well.

The new 4K transfer of the film will also be available as a double-disc Blu-ray edition on the same date.

As to bonus materials, the colorized version of It’s a Wonderful Life is included as a viewing option, plus there are featurettes — “Restoring a Beloved Classic,” “Secrets from the Vault” and “It’s A Wonderful Wrap Party.” 

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
In other release news this week from Paramount Home Media, Oct. 8 has been selected as the street date for writer/director Casey Affleck’s life-and-death thriller, Light of My Life.
Planned for distribution are both DVD and Blu-ray editions.

An Oscar-winner for his performance in Manchester by the Sea, Affleck sets himself up here for Oscar-consideration in both the writing and directing areas with this post-plague thriller.   

A quick-moving viral infestation literally wiped out half of the world’s population — the female half.   Only a few women survived.  Counted among these is Rag (Anna Pniowsky — He’s Out There), Affleck’s young daughter.  

Through flashbacks we learn of the outbreak and we also learn of Rag and her father’s once happy home with “Mom” (played by Elisabeth Moss — Golden Globe winner for her performance in The Handmaid’s Tale) … through these flashback sequences we also come to know of the dangers of a world nearly devoid of women.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph TribbeyLift of My Life opened at the Berlin Film in February of this year, worked a bit of the festival circuit and has been picked up by Paramount for a brief, Oscar-qualifying theatrical break before moving to the home entertainment packaged media marketplace in early October.

Affleck builds tension with the first half of the film focusing almost exclusively on Rag and him in the wilderness.   The terror is always there — Rag is, or soon will be, a much sought-after commodity.   Who do trust?   Who can you trust?   Intense.

Arrow Video's New 2K Restorations Of Hellraiser And Hellbound: Hellraiser II Head To Blu-ray On Sept. 24


DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Arrow Video, with domestic sales and distribution support provided by MVD Entertainment Group, will be revisiting writer/director Clive Barker’s 1987 cult horror gem Hellraiser — as well as his 1988 follow-up, Hellbound: Hellraiser II (produced by, with direction by Tony Randel) — on Sept. 24 with new 2K restorations (approved by the director of photography, Robin Vidgeon).

These new Blu-ray editions come jammed with bonus treasures!   So let’s get to it.

Beginning with Hellraiser, we find not one, but two commentary options.  The first features writer/director Clive Barker, while the second teams Barker with actress Ashley Laurence (Kirsty Cotton).

Documentary filmmaker Kevin McDonagh’s Leviathan: The Story of Hellraiser (brand new version) is included here, plus there are four production featurettes — “Being Frank: Sean Chapman on Hellraiser,” “Soundtrack Hell: The Story of the Abandoned Coil Score,” “Hellraiser: Resurrection” and “Under the Skin: Doug Bradley on Hellraiser.”

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph TribbeyMoving on to the sequel, Hellbound: Hellraiser II, we also have two commentary options.   Director Tony Randel is joined by screenwriter Peter Atkins for the first one, while the second commentary teams Ashley Laurence with Atkins and Randel.

A new version of McDonagh’s Leviathan: The Story of Hellraiser (which originally ran just a tick under eight hours) is included here with the segments that focused on Hellbound: Hellraiser II, plus there are three featurettes — “Being Frank: Sean Chapman on Hellbound,” “Lost in the Labyrinth” and “Under the Skin: Doug Bradley on Hellbound: Hellraiser II” — the excised scene known as “Surgeon,” behind the scenes footage, and onset video sessions with Clive Barker as well as the cast and crew.
