Paramount Home Media Announces A 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack Edition Of Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments For Release On Mar. 30

Paramount Home Media has circled Mar. 30 on its release calendar for the 4K Ultra HD debut of director Cecil B. DeMille's 1956 remake of The Ten Commandments.   This will be a double-disc 4K Ultra HD/double-disc Blu-ray Combo Pack presentation.

It was coming up on the 30^th anniversary of DeMille’s 1925 silent version of The Ten Commandments when news began to circulate in various industry trade publications that he was contemplating a sound remake.   There is some evidence that DeMille had actually begun working on the project as much as two years earlier.   And, of note, it would be the biggest film of his long and illustrious career (his own words).

In any case, writer Henry Noerdlinger, who served as DeMille’s head of research on the project, published his book, “Moses and Egypt,” shortly before the film opened in 1956 detailing all of the research that went into the film.   Extensive is an understatement.

Production began in 1954 and one of the largest sets ever constructed was built in Egypt.   This is the famed Per-Rameses city set, which was estimated to encompass a quarter of a mile in size.   Also, during the extensive filming in Egypt, DeMille suffered a heart attack, but recovered to complete the filming (it would, however, be his last film … his heart gave out in 1959).

The Ten Commandments was an immense undertaking, filmed extensively on location, plus mammoth sets (including the parting of the Red Sea on the Paramount backlot) and it also featured the use of the newly developed VistaVision cameras.   

It was an epic production … nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Pictures, but lost out to Around the World in 80 Days (not to be too judgmental, but what were Academy members thinking back then … not only is The Ten Commandments a superior film, but so were Giant and The King and I, which were also nominated Best Picture … perhaps the voting was so split that the least of the group won out, how ironic if that were the case).

As to bonus features, there is commentary by author Katherine Orrison (“Written in Stone: Making Cecil B. DeMille's Epic The Ten Commandments”), newsreel footage of the film’s New York premiere, DeMille’s legendary introduction to the film and more.

 

 

 

 

Mill Creek Entertainment Prepares The DVD Debut Of Director Patrick Rea's I Am Lisa For Release On Mar. 16

Mill Creek Entertainment has tabbed Mar. 16 as the DVD debut date for director Patrick Rea’s werewolf/revenge thriller, I Am Lisa.

Award-winning filmmaker Patrick Rea is no stranger to the genre scene and has had his share of horror films, ranging from Arbor Demon and Monster X to Nailbiter and his contribution to the anthology release of The Invoking 2 … and certainly the werewolf/lycanthrope category of horror tales has seen its share of cinematic tales.  

So, how do you do something a little different to spice things up?  A werewolf running around attacking people only goes so far.   No problem, we are introduced to Lisa (Kristen Vaganos — Dating After College, Wedding Screeners, The Christmas Dance, My Perfect Woman), who runs a used book store that she inherited from her grandmother … she grew up in the area, went off to college and now she’s back.   She’s a bit of nerd.

There is that line from Bowling for Soup’s “High School Never Ends” … “I thought it was over, oh, that's just great.”   Indeed, Lisa went off to college and thought that she had left the hell of high school behind, only to find Jessica (Carmen Anello — Exposure, Zombie Beauty Pageant: Drop Dead Gorgeous), the town bitch, right there in her face, literally.  High school memories come flooding back.

Now Lisa’s only real friend is “Sam” (Jennifer Seward), who is wise in the ways of the occult, which is easily dismissed by Lisa as being silly.   That little bit of foreshadowing will come back full circle, as does the fact that there is a wolf population on the outskirts of town (Lisa almost ran one over one evening).

OK, there’s your set-up, book-store nerd, high school tormentor, wolf population and … and now you are ready for things to go off in an unexpected direction.  

After a few encounters with Jessica, and her little troupe of tormentors, Lisa gets pushed too far and goes to the police to report an assault.  Well, that was a mistake.  

The local sheriff is none other than Sheriff Deborah 'Deb' Huckins (Manon Halliburton), who just happens to be Jessica’s mom.   Oh my, does she throw a mean right hook … POW, down goes Lisa.   Deb’s son, is her also Deputy Nick (Chris Bylsma), who takes care of business and dumps Lisa in the woods to die.   Lesson learned, don’t rat-out Jessica to her mom.

Harken back to the wolf that Lisa didn’t run over.  He bites her, but the pack doesn’t finish the job, instead our little book worm is now blessed with the powers of a lycanthrope and her vegetarian ways are about to be cast aside in favor of munching on members of the Huckins family.  

Patrick Rea’s I Am Lisa, on DVD from Mill Creek Entertainment on Mar. 16, is a nice twist on your standard werewolf carnage tale.  

As to bonus goodies, filmmaker Patrick Rae provides commentary and is joined by Kristen Vaganos and writer/producer Eric Winkler, plus there is a deleted scene and a “Visual F/X Reel.”

 

 

 

MVD Entertainment Group To Release On DVD Documentary Filmmaker Eduardo Equia Dibildox's The Van Halen Story: The Early Years On Apr. 23

MVD Entertainment Group has selected Friday, Apr. 23, for the DVD release of documentary filmmaker Eduardo Eguia Dibildox’s Van Halen: The Van Halen Story: The Early Years.  

The narrator is none other than J.J. Jackson, one of the original five MTV VJs, which is appropriate since the documentary covers the early years of Van Halen (the band), when MTV was a force in the music world.

The late Eddie Van Halen, along with his brother, Alex Van Halen (on drums), David Lee Roth and Michael Anthony, formed their rock group in the mid-70s in Southern California.   Between 1974 and 1982 they served up five albums, all million unit-plus sellers and had five world tours under their belt. 

Dibildox’s documentary includes those who knew the four musician before they were a force of nature, plus those who were part of the scene during the group’s rocket to stardom.  

The focus is on the period from the early club-hopping days through the departure of David Lee Roth, including rare footage from the group’s first world tour.
