Paramount Home Media is fighting back against the
“no new theatrical releases” syndrome that has been brought on by theatres
nationwide closing up shop for the foreseeable future.
The studio has already put a prime selection of new
4K Ultra HD product offerings on its release calendar — Braveheart,
Gladiator, Top Gun, Days of Thunder and War of
the Worlds — and the first wave of
“Paramount Presents” Blu-ray editions arrived this past week — King
Creole, Fatal Attraction and To Catch
a Thief — with more on the way in the weeks
ahead, including Flashdance and Pretty in
Pink.
Well, there was more good news this past week as
four additional new Blu-ray releases were announced for delivery on May 26 ...
all four for the first time on Blu-ray!!
No frills, just Blu-ray films for fans to enjoy.
Topping the list is director Louis Malle’s 1980 Best
Picture nominee, Atlantic City, teaming
Burt Lancaster (nominated Best Actor for the fourth time … From Here to
Eternity, Elmer Gantry and Birdman
of Alcatraz, with a win for Elmer
Gantry) with Susan Sarandon (her first of five
nominations for Best Actress … others include Thelma
& Louise, Lorenzo’s Oil, The Client and
a win for Dead Man Walking).
The other four in the mix are director Guy Hamilton’s
1966 film adaptation of the Len Deighton novel, Funeral
in Berlin (with Michael Caine), filmmaker
Alan Parker’s 1999 film adaptation of the Frank McCourt Pulitzer Prize-winning
memoir, Angela's Ashes and
director Vincente Minnelli’s 1970 romantic comedy, On a
Clear Day Your Can See Forever,
starring Barbra Streisand.
