THE CELEBRATED COMEDY THAT BECAME A HIT BROADWAY MUSICAL ARRIVES ON BLU-RAY™ FOR THE FIRST TIME ON MAY 31, 2022.

The hilarious and inspiring classic KINKY BOOTSarrives for the first time ever on Blu-ray May 31, 2022from Paramount Home Entertainment.

 

Featuring a Golden Globe®-nominated^* performance by Chiwetel Ejiofor (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness), as well as terrific performances by Joel Edgerton (The Green Knight), Sarah-Jane Potts (The Chameleon), and Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead),KINKY BOOTS is a refreshing, feel-good film that proves the best way to fit in is to stand out.  The film was inspired by the real-life story of a family-owned shoe factory in England and ultimately inspired a Broadway musical that earned six Tony Awards, including Best Original Score, Best Actor and Best Musical. 

 

For generations, the Price family has made very sensible, very conservative shoes for men.  But to save the business from imminent bankruptcy, young Charlie Price (Edgerton) turns to an unlikely new creative consultant: a fabulous drag performer (Ejiofor) whose creative style and wild designs are a breath of fresh air in the stuffy old factory.

 

The KINKY BOOTS Blu-ray features access to a digital copy of the film and legacy bonus content, including audio commentary with the director and members of the cast, deleted scenes, and behind-the-scenes featurettes.  Bonus material is detailed below:

HBO Max Original Documentary MENUDO: FOREVER YOUNG Debuts June 23

The Four-Part Documentary Directed By Angel Manuel Soto And Kristofer Ríos Will Premiere At The 2022 Tribeca Festival June 11

• The four-part Max Original documentary MENUDO: FOREVER YOUNG, from filmmakers Angel Manuel Soto (Max Original “Charm City Kings”) and Kristofer Ríos  (“Havana Skate Days”), debuts with all episodes on THURSDAY, JUNE 23 on HBO Max.
   
• The documentary will have its world premiere at the 2022 Tribeca Festival on June 11 in New York.
   
• Logline: MENUDO: FOREVER YOUNG chronicles the rise and fall of the most iconic Latin American boy band in history, bringing viewers into the world of  the popular teen idols’ global tours, magazine covers, ‘80s outfits, and screaming fangirls. But the four-part documentary reveals that behind the glitz and glamour was a web of abuse and exploitation at the hands of the band’s manager, Edgardo Diaz. Through revealing interviews with former Menudo members, the film examines how this extravagant facade was disguising serious wrongdoings by Diaz.
   
• Angel Manuel Soto quote: “The Puerto Rican diaspora in New York played a critical role in the success of Menudo and its crossover in the US, shutting down traffic for blocks surrounding the band’s hotel and selling out Madison Square Garden on multiple occasions. We couldn’t be more excited to premiere this series in their backyard at TriBeCa and honor their contribution to the band’s legacy.” 
   
• Credits: Executive producers are Cristina Costantini and Jeff Plunkett of Muck Media, Alex Fumero of Trojan Horse, Bryn Mooser and Justin Lacob of XTR, and Angel Manuel Soto; co-executive producers are Maura Anderson and Kristofer Rios.

At this pivotal period of his life, Michael is able to fight for his artistic freedom and lead the way for others. He meets his first real love, Anselmo Feleppa and navigates both the heartbreak of Anselmo’s early tragic passing from an AIDS related illness and the devastating loss of his mother. GEORGE MICHAEL FREEDOM UNCUT is also a brilliant reminder of Michael’s outstanding musical genius during the Wham! years and throughout his solo career. The film features timeless duets with George’s favourite artists and explores how he influenced the cultural landscape of his generation as one of the world’s best-selling artists of all time. 

 

Interwoven with exclusive, personal archival footage, this year’s theatrical release includes never-seen-before footage from one of the most iconic videos in music history, “Freedom! ’90,” directed by Oscar^® nominated David Fincher.

Produced by Big Geoff Overseas Limited in conjunction with Sony Music Entertainment and distributed theatrically worldwide by Trafalgar Releasing.

David Austin says, “The film is George's final work. Narrated by George himself, it is the complete story."

With even more romance and rock ‘n’ roll, the musical extravaganza GREASE 2 celebrates its 40^th anniversary with a Limited-Edition Blu-ray SteelBook on June 7, 2022 from Paramount Home Entertainment. 

 

The highly anticipated follow up to the smash hitGrease, GREASE 2 was originally released on June 11, 1982.

It’s 1961 and there’s a new crop of seniors ready to rule rockin’ Rydell High, including the coolest cliques on campus—the Pink Ladies and T-Birds.

Can he fix up an old motorcycle, don a leather jacket, and avoid a rumble with the leader of the T-Birds (Adrian Zmed) to win the heart of Pink Lady Stephanie Zinone (Pfeiffer)? This cool rider is surely going to try!
