GOLDMEMBER, XXX, Pumpkin
Put em’ all together, and what do you get?
An ‘adult’ film about a gilded johnson invading a ripe melon?
New Line Home Entertainment is about to swing again, as they prepare for the December 3 release of AUSTIN POWERS IN GOLDMEMBER. This summer’s smashing sequel will be released as an Infinifilm title with a boatload of mojo-rific extras, but full details will not be released until late next week.
MGM is readying it’s art-house oddity PUMPKIN for a November 5 release date. The pic deals with a sorority b*tch (Christina Ricci) who unwittingly falls for a handicapped discus thrower, much to the scorn of her stuck-up friends and relations. The DVD will feature both Anamorphic Widescreen and Fullscreen transfers and a 5.1 Dolby Digital audio track, but extras will be limited to a trailer.
SERPICO baby!!!
At long last, SERPICO – the seminal 1973 cop drama, starring Al Pacino – will find it’s way to DVD on December 3 (Just in time to stuff in someones eeevil xmas stocking). The film will be presented in an AW transfer with 5.1 DDS and original mono soundtracks. Extras will include Director’s commentary with Sidney Lumet, 3 featurettes, a theatrical trailer and a photo gallery.
