Paramount Home Media Targets Jan. 14 As The Street Date For Diector Ang Lee's Gemini Man

Paramount Home Media announced this past week that director Ang Lee’s sci-fi thriller, Gemini Man, will be available on Jan. 14 as a three-SKU array of home entertainment packaged media products.

The ARR is an industry average of 95 days and domestic box office receipts came in at $48.5 million.

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

A film that was a couple of decades in the works, Gemini Man was originally spawned by Darren Lemke (Shrek Forever After, Goosebumps, etc.) and David Benioff (who went on to be the producer of Game of Thrones) sometime around 1997/1998 and then went from here to there and back again … with all sorts of big name actors attached to the project.

The problem that filmmakers were faced with was the technical aspects of making two versions of the same actor.   One at his current age, in this case former Marine Sniper Henry Brogan (played by Will Smith) and one that would be a clone that is one generation younger.   They have to interact with each other and split screens, makeup and f/x only get you so far … you have to get into that tech-world where sci-fi meets creepy to really make it work.

If you’ve been following the world of film tech these days, the directing team of Anton Ernst and Tati Golykh announced only last month that their forthcoming film, Finding Jack, will feature James Dean … yes, you read that right, James Dean!   He died in 1955, but they have enough of his digital “footprint” to re-create a living, breathing version of this long-dead, but nevertheless iconic actor.

Of course, the Star Wars movies are using the digital likeness of Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia Organa to complete the third trilogy in the series … so James Dean is not that big of a shock! 

In Gemini Man, Brogan is an assassin who works for the “government” and uses his military experience as a sniper to take down “bad guys.”   But, now someone is stalking him … and the would-be killer looks just like himself, only 20 years younger!   When Brogan comes face to face with his “stalker,” he comes face to face with himself, only a young version … that’s where sci-fi meets creepy.

The film didn’t do what was hoped for theatrically, but home entertainment gives Gemini Man a chance to find a much larger audience, and not just genre-fans, but those that are interested in seeing the dawn of what could be a very interesting advancement in “acting” assignments.    

Can you just imagine Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman and Claude Rains reunited for a Casablanca sequel, or a whole new round of Star Trek adventures with the original 1960s crew!   Spock lives … younger versions meeting older versions!!

As to bonus features, which are limited to the Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack SKUs, we have an alternate opening, deleted scenes and a half-dozen production featurettes — “The Genesis of Gemini Man,” “Facing Your Younger Self,” “The Future is Now,” “Setting the Action,” “Next Level Detail” and “The Vision of Ang Lee.”

In other release news from Paramount Home Media this past week, the Jordan Peele (and associates) revamped Twilight Zone: Season One series  — from CBS All Access — will be heading home on Feb. 18 as both DVD and Blu-ray collections.

 

Mill Creek Entertainment Picks Feb. 4 For The DVD Debut Of Director Christopher Martini's What The Night Can Do

Mill Creek Entertainment has already announced Q1 DVD and Blu-ray product offerings that include complete collections of both The Mindy Project: The Complete Series (10 disc sets for both Blu-ray and DVD on Jan. 14) and Unbreakable Kimmy Smith: The Complete Series (8 disc sets for both DVD and Blu-ray on Feb. 4). 

In addition to those fan-pleasing collections there is a sweet DVD compilation on Jan. 14 titled Air Bud: 6 Movie Team-Up, which features all of the Buddy the stray dog family films — Air Bud, Air Bud: Golden Receiver, Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch, Air Bud: Strikes Back and Air Buddies (and the set comes complete with Digital Copy).

There are also “VHS Retro” Blu-ray releases (four new films, including When a Stranger Calls on Feb. 11) and new double-feature Blu-ray releases on Jan. 14, including the double-bill of Reservation Road (first time on Blu-ray) and Return to Paradise (also first time on Blu-ray), both starring Joker’s Joaquin Phoenix, who is a lock for a Best Actor nomination.

The first quarter is packed with price-to-own collectibles and you’d just have to figure that Mill Creek Entertainment would be done, but you’d be wrong.   

Word arrived this past week that the company has acquired the distribution rights to director Christopher Martini’s family-themed drama, What the Night Can Do, which is written and produced by Emmy-winner Stuart Margolin. 

The DVD debut date for What the Night Can Do will be Feb. 4.

This multi-generational family story was filmed on location in Lewisburg, West Virginia and features Margolin (as Angel on The Rockford Files) as the family patriarch who has to guide his granddaughter, Launa (Peyton Kennedy — as “Dr. O” in the Odd Squad series, plus such series as Everything Sucks! and Grey’s Anatomy), through some rocky times, including deep divisions within her own family.   

JoBeth Williams (Poltergeist, The Big Chill), Mercedes Mason (perhaps best known as Captain Zoe Anderson on The Rookie television series and Ofelia Salazar on Fear the Walking Dead series) and Max Martini (as Taylor in the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy) co-star as various members of the Dreyer/Cole family group.

What the Night Can Do, a feel-good family tale, complete with a happy ending, comes complete with Digital Copy (co-star, producer and writer Stuart Margolin wanted it that way … he has grown weary over the years of too many “downer” films from Hollywood).
