“THE REAL STORY: SCREAM” Available on DVD from Public Media Distribution, LLC on September 5th

CUT THROUGH THE FICTION OF THE HORROR CLASSIC “SCREAM” AND UNCOVER THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE FILM IN

“THE REAL STORY: SCREAM”

 

 

Available on DVD from Public Media Distribution, LLC on September 5th

 

Arlington, Va. – August 31, 2017 – Public Media Distribution, LLC announced today it is releasing the Smithsonian Channel™ program “THE REAL STORY: SCREAM” on DVD. The program is a closer look at the slasher classic that revitalized horror movies when it was released in 1996 by including elements of black comedy, ”whodunit” mysteries, and meta-commentary on the genre. 

 

Scream” kick started a new horror franchise and created a new subgenre of horror that spawned a number of imitators. The gorefest may seem like Hollywood fiction, but it was actually loosely inspired by an actual killing spree that sent an idyllic Florida university town into a panic, known as the Gainesville Ripper case. Viewers will uncover the terrifying true events behind the horror film as the program investigates the parallels between the fictional serial-killer and the real-life serial-killer.

 

 “THE REAL STORY: SCREAM” will be available on DVD September 5, 2017. The run time of the program is approximately 50 minutes, and the SRP is $14.99

 

The serial killings of Danny Rolling, the “Gainesville Ripper,” sparked a student exodus in the university town and the largest manhunt in Florida’s history. “THE REAL STORY: SCREAM” explores the impact Rolling’s shocking killing spree had, from the media frenzy to the mass paranoia that swept across the small community. The program follows the trials and tribulations of the year-long investigation to track down the murderer. Viewers will hear firsthand from witnesses, homicide investigators and scientists how the forensic team finally pieced together the murderer’s methodology, and uncovered the trail of evidence that finally led police to unmask the killer.

Program Reveals The True Story That Inspired the Sci-Fi Classic

 

Arlington, Va. – August 31, 2017 – Just three days after the 40th Anniversary re-release of the film that reawakened man’s obsession with the eternal question “Are we alone in the universe?” Public Media Distribution, LLC will release the Smithsonian Channel™ program “THE REAL STORY: CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND” on DVD. An instant box office smash when it was released in 1977, the Spielberg classic grossed over 300 million dollars and was nominated for eight Oscars. Now audiences can get a glimpse into the actual events that inspired the classic film – claimed UFO sightings, and alien abductions.

 

THE REAL STORY: CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND” will be available on DVDSeptember 5, 2017. The run time of the program is approximately 50 minutes,and the SRP is $14.99

 

Few realize the  sci-fi classic was actually inspired by a series of reported UFO sightings in Michigan in the summer of 1966, and witness testimonies given to a U.S. Government investigation about alien abduction are just a few events examined in “THE REAL STORY: CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND.” Part of Smithsonian Channel’s original series The Real Story, this intriguing program allows viewers to separate science-based fact from science fiction. It investigates the original cases that inspired the film – from the Michigan UFO chase to the first and most famous case of claimed alien abduction in the US, the Betty and Barney Hill abduction. Using modern technology, a re-examination of government documents puts old witness testimonies to the test.

YouTube Releases Data on Movie Trailer Trends (Titanic #1 90s Trailer, Ghostbusters #1 80s Trailer)


YouTube collected global views of movie trailers over the past 12-months (May 2016 - 2017) for every film in Google’s knowledge graph. For 90s films, the top three most popular movie trailers were 1) Titanic 2) Toy Story and 3) The Lion King. For 80s films, the top three most popular movie trailers were 1) Ghostbusters 2) The Little Mermaid and 3) The Shining. See below chart for the fully ranked list of movies.

 


As we approach Labor Day weekend, one of the biggest home entertainment and movie going weekends of the year, YouTube wanted to take a look at how reboots and sequels drive interest and popularity in the original films. We’ve uncovered some pretty interesting consumer viewing trends when it comes to movie trailers and how new reboots impact views of original trailers. 

 

See below for some of the data highlights – if you have any specific questions, let me know and I can work with Google/YouTube on pulling anything extra you might need or find particularly interesting.

 

  • Reboots drive popularity - searches and views on YouTube have shown that reboots and sequels drive interest in original films of that title. The top 10 trailers from the ‘80s and ‘90s several have had sequels including The Blair Witch Project, Star Wars, Blade Runner, American Pie, Toy Story, The Evil Dead, and Ghostbusters.

 

  • Ghostbusters reboot rekindled interest in the original -  As the #1 viewed movie trailer from the 80s, Ghostbusters was averaging 70,000 views/month in 2015. In 2016, the film was rebooted and views more than tripled to over 300,000 views/month.

 

  • The new Jumanji is following consumer viewing trends:  Premiering this December, the film’s original trailer from 1995 ranked among the top 50 most-viewed from the decade and have increased 60% over the first half of 2016.

 

  • What does this mean for the highly anticipated Blade Runner 2049?
    • Blade Runner (1982) was the #8 most popular trailer from the 1980s, suggesting a strong, existing fan base for the sequel
    • The upcoming sequel to Blade Runner premiering October 6th has renewed even more interest in the original. Views for the Blade Runner trailer were approximately 157,000/month in the first half of 2017, a 112% increase over the first half of 2016.

NEW YORK, August 30, 2017 – Emmy and Tony Award winner Cherry Jones (“Transparent”, “24”and Grammy Award winner Michael “Flea” Balzary, from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, join the cast of Boy Erased, the coming-of-age and coming-out drama from writer/director Joel Edgerton based on Boy Erased: A Memoir of Identity, Faith, and Family by Garrard Conley, who serves as a consultant on the film. In addition to Jones and Flea, also joining the cast are Xavier Dolan (I Killed My Mother), singer/songwriter and YouTube personality Troye Sivan, as well as Emily Hinkler (Tyler Perry’s Boo 2), Jesse LaTourette (Z Nation), David Joseph Craig (The Gift), Théodore Pellerin (It’s Only the End of the World), and Britton Sear (Unfinished Business, HBO’s “Vice Principals”).  They join the already announced cast led by Academy Award nominee Lucas Hedges (Manchester by the Sea), Academy Award winners Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman, and Joel Edgerton. The movie will be produced by Anonymous Content and will begin production this fall for a 2018 theatrical release. Focus chairman Peter Kujawski made the announcement today.
 
The film will tell the story of Jared (Hedges), the son of a Baptist pastor in a small American town, who is outed to his parents (Kidman and Crowe) at age 19.  Jared is faced with an ultimatum: attend a gay conversion therapy program – or be permanently exiled and shunned by his family, friends, and faith.  Boy Erased is the true story of one young man’s struggle to find himself while being forced to question every aspect of his identity. 
 
Commented Joel Edgerton, “The Boy Erased cast is rounding out in a way I could only dream of.  We have gathered an incredible ensemble of actors.” 
 
Boy Erased is being produced by Edgerton and Anonymous Content’s Kerry Kohansky-Roberts and Steve Golin, an Academy Award-winning producer of Best Picture Oscar winner Spotlight.

Edgerton has written the screenplay adaptation; Boy Erased will be his second feature as director following the sleeper hit The Gift (also produced by Yeldham), which earned him a Directors Guild of America Award nomination. He was recently a Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice Award nominee for his performance in Focus’ Loving.
 
Celebrating its 15th anniversary in 2017, Focus Features has made and released Academy Award-winning LGBT-themed films including BeginnersDallas Buyers Club, The Danish GirlMilk, and Brokeback Mountain, the company’s all-time top-grosser.

FilmRise to release "SUPERGIRL" the empowering and inspiring documentary about 9-year-old powerlifter Naomi Kutin

FILMRISE RELEASES JESSIE AURITT’S EMPOWERING

AND INSPIRATIONAL DOCUMENTARY ABOUT A 

NINE-YEAR OLD FEMALE POWERLIFTER

“SUPERGIRL”

ON DEMAND, DVD AND BLU-RAY

 

“Supergirl promises to be a fascinating portrait of what it really means to be strong for a young person in the 21st century.” – Indiewire

 

Brooklyn, NY –August 28 , 2017 – This September, FilmRise releases Jessie Auritt’s feature film debut, the unique coming of age story of nine-year-old Naomi Kutin – an Orthodox Jewish girl from New Jersey who is breaking powerlifting world records. Auritt, the award-winning filmmaker – her prior film, “The Birdman” won the Grand Jury Prize for Short Documentary at Slamdance – follows this extraordinary young girl as she competes to maintain her athletic title.  Entering into the trying phase of adolescence, Naomi juggles her powerlifting training while adhering to her family’s strict, traditional Jewish obligations.  “Supergirl” will be available for sale and rental on Amazon Video, iTunes, and Vudu, as well as DVD and Blu-ray on September 28, 2017

Within the backdrop of religious guidelines dictating female and male gender rules, Naomi Kutin is breaking records.  As a young girl raised in an Orthodox household, Naomi’s role is clearly defined. However, with her family’s support, she is not only breaking records, she is also breaking the mold, both in her religion and her sport.  She has become an international phenomenon as her extraordinary talent brings her into the limelight as one of the strongest girls in the world – powerlifting close to three times her weight – all this within a male dominated sport. “Supergirl” follows pre-teen Naomi from her emergence as powerlifting champion at the age of ten, through her following three years: training to uphold her athletic title; preparing for her Bat-Mitzvah; and attending Yeshiva (Orthodox Jewish school).

From her strict religious obligations, to cyber-bullying and health issues which could jeopardize her powerlifting future, Supergirl must learn to accept herself and discover she is as strong inside as she is outside. An Official Selection at Slamdance, Doc NYC, and The Hamptons International Film Festival, “Supergirl” received wide critical acclaim, including “…a health tonic for this cramping climate of resurgent sexism underway where girls everywhere are struggling to understand their worth” from Playlist, and “…what makes this film truly interesting is the unflinching way she (Auritt) approaches the sensitive topic of how everyone will feel if Naomi can no longer powerlift, or perhaps more importantly, win tournaments” from Hammer to Nail. 

Supergirl” has a run time of 80 Minutes and is Not Rated.

DC's Legends Of Tomorrow: The Complete Second Season On Blu-ray Disc Set Review


FTC Notice Of Compliance: "Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own."

Arguably, the most fantastical of the DCEU TV series, (I realize people dubbed it the Arrowverse, but since the DC Extended Universe feature films take place in a separate parallel universe and through The Flash and Supergirl, we see this concept exists on the TV shows, I think DCEU TV series is not a huge stretch.) Remember that in the past anyway, there was continuity and references between the MCU TV shows and movies, but the DCEU TV shows have more flexibility regarding the stories the producers and writers want to tell. 
because they do not have to be beholden to single person's vision across a wide board in the same way. Best part of all is for a cord cutter like me, they are all on free over the air broadcast television and require no subscription fees to enjoy.

Protecting the timeline from temporal rifts, the Legends with the addition of Citizen Steel and Justice Society of America member Vixen square against the Legion of Doom as personified by Malcolm Merlyn, Damien Darhk, Captain Cold and the Reverse Flash. Armed with a weapon of unspeakable power known as the Spear of Destiny, the Legends of Tomorrow travel across time to save reality as they know it.

Warner Brothers Home Entertainment's Blu-ray Disc set of Legends Of Tomorrow presents all 17 episodes in glorious 1080p Full High Definition picture quality in their (1.78:1) broadcast television aspect ratio with a sharp English DTS HD MA 5.1 Soundtrack and English Subtitles for the Deaf and Hearing Impaired as well as French and Spanish Language Subtitles encoded onto all three discs for all the second season episodes as an option.

Eight of the seventeen episodes include an optional deleted scene as well as a featuette covering the epic Invasion storyline. The concluding episode in this cross series event is included within this set, but if you want the complete storyline, you will have to purchase the second season of Supergirl, the third season of The Flash and the sixth season of Arrow to get everything. Personally I find this to be a bit of a bummer because if you wanted to own those episodes of the crossover event, you have to hope they can be purchased separately on your favorite digital platform or you could be stuck with having to buy the seasons that way too. I can understand why these episodes are only available with their respective series, but last year Warner Brothers made crossover episodes involving certain characters available in their entirety on the respective sets involved. So if you like The Flash, but are not into Arrow, you could buy The Flash and not have to buy Arrow. I thought that was a classy move for the fans who purchase these sets, but when you split things up it could turn potential consumers off.

The 2016 Comic-Con Panel from SDCC and a Gagreel wrap up the features included on disc. In addition to an episode guide, there is a limited time only redeemable code for a digital copy of the second season too. 

Defenders Of Tomorrow: The Complete Second Season on Blu-ray Disc is available now at retailers on and offline courtesy of Warner Brothers Home Entertainment.
