Mill Creek Entertainment has a stunning,
first-time-on-Blu-ray release lined up for consumers to enjoy on Sept. 15. Not only is it making its Blu-ray debut, but
Mill Creek has set the SRP at a very attractive priced-to-collect $14.99 (and
that’s before discounts at your various retail options).
Directed by Michael Cohn (Interceptor, When the
Bough Breaks), Snow White: A Tale of Terror was
originally slated for a theatrical release.
It had been filmed in and around Prague in the Czech Republic, with Mike
Southon (Replicant, the Air Bud
movies, etc.) handling the cinematography (he was nominated by the American
Society of Cinematographers for his work here), but during the production Polygram
Filmed Entertainment was beginning to breakdown and would eventually fold into
Universal Pictures).
So instead of getting a theatrical push, Snow
White: A Tale of Terror ended up on Showtime in
late August of 1997. The DVD format had
just been launched and so a VHS and DVD day/date push was slated for November
of 1998, but the DVD was delayed until December 8, delayed again until January
12 and finally made its way to the DVD marketplace on January 26, 1999 at the
bargain price of just $29.95.
The film itself proceeded to snag three Emmy
nominations, including one for the film’s star, Sigourney Weaver, who is the
ever-increasingly wicked stepmother (with her deadly magic mirror), and two
more for Makeup and Consume Design.
So if you missed this Sigourney Weaver gem way back
then (or the re-issue by Universal under its own label), here’s your chance to
finally get a high-def up-grade at a sweet price from Mill Creek
Entertainment. Mark the date, Sept. 15,
on your calendar now!!
