Paramount Home Entertainment Selects June 01 For The DVD Debut Of Director Jaume Balagueró’s The Vault

Paramount Home Entertainment announced this past week that director Jaume Balagueró’s heist thriller, The Vault, will be making its DVD debut on June 01.

Walter Moreland (Liam Cunningham — as Davos Seaworth in Game of Thrones), is by trade a salvage expert.  He made the find of his life, a chest of rare gold coins dating to the 17^th Century (perhaps even belonging to Sir Francis Drake), but the Spanish government seized it and now it sits in an impregnable vault in Madrid’s historic Bank of Spain complex.

What to do?  What to do?   Steal it back of course!!  

Thus begins an impossible task, breaking into the vault, which is impossible because of its elaborate security measures — for example, if you should actually get into the vault, a floodgate is triggered and you are drowned!!   And then there is Gustavo (Jose Coronado) and his security crew … he’s ruthless and tenacious and pretty much on top of any attempts to breach security.

Moreland is accustomed to taking risks and doing the impossible, so he recruits Thom (Freddie Highmore — as Norman Bates in the Bates Motel television series), a 22-year-old engineering whiz kid to solve the puzzle and then proceeds to build a rag-tag crew to carry it out.  The plan revolves around the noise and chaos of the World Cup Final … will that noise and chaos, coupled with an ingenious plan be enough!!

Also added to Paramount Home Entertainment’s DVD release calendar is the July 6 multi-disc mini-series, Defending Jacob.

Adapted from writer William Landay’s 2012 novel of the same name, this eight-part series focuses on the Barber family — Andy (played by Chris Evans — Captain America: Civil War, Knives Out, Avengers: Age of Ultron) and Laurie (Michelle Dockery — perhaps best known as Lady Mary Crawley in the Downton Abbey television series) — and the terror they face when their 14-year-old son, Jacob (Jaeden Martell — Knives Out, It, It: Chapter Two), is accused of murder.

It comes down to this, Jacob is a privileged kid, who seems to lead a pretty normal life as a teenager.   But one day a classmate by the name of Ben is found murdered … stabbed to death.

Here’s the problem, Jacob’s father, Andy, is the assistant district attorney assigned to the case … that could be a conflict.   Although they seem to have a prime suspect, the social media mob quickly descends on Jacob as the killer, he disliked Ben, has a knife and in today’s instant social media mob world that’s all you need.  

His father is steadfast in his belief that his son could not have done it, but when forensic evidence points to Jacob, it becomes a race against time to find the real killer and prove Jacob’s innocence.   As things unfold, Jacob’s story — and the way he acts — even begins to build doubt in his own mother … dad holds fast, but unless more evidence is uncovered, this could end up being a parent’s worst nightmare.

Bonus goodies include deleted scenes and a pair of “behind the scenes” featurettes.

 

 

 

 

Mill Creek Entertainment Tabs June 08 For The DVD Release Of Problem Child Double Feature

On June 8 there will be a double-dose of trouble on DVD.  That’s the street date that Mill Creek Entertainment has assigned for the price-to-collect release of Problem Child Double Feature.

Actor-turned-director Dennis Dugan hadn’t done any feature films as a director, just some episodic television work, a few episodes of Moonlighting, a couple of Hunter episodes, so when he began filming his first feature film, Problem Child, in and around Dallas in the fall of 1989 no one thought much of it.  

He had spent something like two months interviewing hundreds of kids for the central role of “Junior” …that got some press.   Then the trades erupted with news early in 1990 that about two weeks-worth of re-shoots were required (that’s usually not a good sign) … and as soon as the film opened theatrically in July of 1990, newspapers were running stories that the American Humane Association was upset with “animal cruelty” issues.   

Problem Child was a problem, right?   WRONG!!   This modest-budget studio production — with a debut director — pulled in over $50 million.   It was a smash hit.  

Problem Child is funny because it operates in something of an alternate universe.   No one seriously believes that people would keep abandoning “Junior” (played by newcomer Michael Oliver) because he is a deviously little, ah, tyke (there are other words more appropriate) … and that he would adopt the mannerisms of a serial killer (the bow tie is cute, come on).

The comedy set-up is prepared beautifully as we know that “Junior” is a cunning little rascal who gets streamlined adoption treatment by all involved to find him a “home” as quickly as possible … and the unsuspecting parents are Ben (played by John Ritter, who had become a household name after the long-running Three’s Company television series) and Flo Healy (Amy Yasbeck — Pretty Woman, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, The Mask), who are having problems of their own. 

It is a cool sight gag seeing the nuns at the St. Brutus Orphanage lock the gates as the Healy’s drive away with their newly adopted son.   What follows is pure “black comedy” as “Junior” does his best to wrangle escaped serial killer, Mark Beck (played by none other than Michael Richards, who won three Emmys for his portrayal of Kramer on Seinfeld), to come rescue him.   And it doesn’t take long for Ben to realize that a demon is living with them.  

So successful was Problem Child that the following summer a sequel, Problem Child 2, arrived in theatres … which is included here from Mill Creek Entertainment as a double-feature.
