Cougars, Inc. DVD Press Release + Poster?

PosterLionsgate, the distributor of Cougars, Inc., have issued a press release regarding the upcoming DVD & Blu-ray versions of the film. It confirms the 10th May launch date in the USA and even gives prices for the two different disc formats.  Various sites are now listing the movie has being out on that day.

You can read the full press release after the jump.

As if that was not enough we also have a likely candidate for poster and box art (as shown on the right), though this maybe for the European version only. The image is small but You can still see that the dresses Kathryn, Denise Richards and Catalina Rodriguez are wearing and the stairs they are standing on or near are the same as in the photoshoot the ladies did a few months ago. The dog and Kyle are clearly superimposed, as is the framed picture of Jim Belushi in the background.

The image is in the Gallery.

Update: Image replaced with larger version.

Cougars, Inc. Trailer

Is this the actual official Cougars, Inc. trailer?  It certainly looks like it could be the real deal.  All the details tie up with what we know already and the poster appears to work for Lionsgate/Grindstone, the distributors.  At the time of writing the referenced Lionsgate DVD website does not have the movie listed.

The video appeared on YouTube late yesterday and it states in the description that the film will get a DVD & Blu-ray release on 10th May 2011.  Remember that the film is ‘R’ rated in the US and the trailer does contain strong language and scenes of a sexual nature, consider it NSFW.

Kathryn appears in various parts of the trailer, it looks like she has some interesting scenes 😉 , but Denise Richards features more prominently.  Brit actress Rebecca Mader also gets a few lines, she seems to be the comic foil.

The video has been added to the Gallery.  A small collection of screencaps, they are not great quality, has also been added.

Thanks to Kareen_T for the heads-up.

Cougars, Inc. Straight To DVD In US?

DVD logoThe increasingly inaccurate December 20th release date has finally been removed from the IMDb page of Kathryn’s long awaited movie Cougars, Inc.!  And it’s been replaced with… not a lot.

However, a recent change to the release details page suggests it may be getting what used to be called a “straight to video” release.  The page now lists the USA release of Cougars, Inc. as being a “DVD premiere” in 2011.  That is to say no cinema distribution at all.

Of course, this could be wrong, as I’m sure we all hope it is.  However, with this and the previously reported possible German Blu-ray/DVD release in April, the chances of a theatrical début appear to be slipping away with each little additional piece of news.

We are still waiting for more official confirmation of anything related to the movie’s release.

Early Cougars, Inc. Euro Blu-ray Release? – Update

What’s the German for “take this with a pinch of salt”?

A bit of a bolt out of the Blu (see what I did there? sorry :-) ) this one. Amazon in Germany has Cougars, Inc. down as a DVD and Blu-ray release on  21 April 2011.  The film is listed under its previous name with an additional prefix giving the longer title of Loverboys – Mother’s Little Helpers.

Blu-ray.com, a site covering HD disc releases all over the world, also has a German version of Cougars, Inc. (with Loverboys – Mother’s Little Helpers as an alternative title) marked as available from the slightly earlier date of March 24th same date.

The Blu-ray/DVD prices are the same on both sites (€14.99/€10, which is £13/£8.50 and US$20/US$13).  Quite low prices for a new release.  Also, Amazon attributing the movie a 12 certificate is curious, which maybe a reflection on differing attitudes in German.  Or it may all be completely wrong.

Both sites roughly agreeing does suggest that the basics could well be right.  This means that outside of the USA Cougars, Inc. may not be getting a theatrical release at all.  But in compensation we might be receiving full HD copy for the home.  Can’t wait :-)

Update: Blu-ray.com has updated it’s release date to 21 April 2011 to match Amazon Germany.

Cougars, Inc. Gets ‘R’ated For US

Just before Xmas the MPAA (The Motion Picture Association Of America) issued one of its weekly press releases containing the most recent ratings decisions for movies to be released in the US of A.

MPAA Bulletin no. 2152, dated 22 December 2010, has the rating for Kathryn’s forthcoming movie Cougars, Inc. And the result from the MPAA panel (and I think you already know what’s coming :-) ) is…

Rated R for sexual content, nudity, language and drug use – all involving teens.

Not really a surprise given the themes and likely content of the movie. Of course the film and the rating could still be changed prior to release.  You can download a copy of the bulletin here (PDF).

For those not familiar with the American film rating system this is what the “R” means: “RESTRICTED. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.” You can find out more about US film ratings on the MPAA website.

There is no fixed way of converting that rating to the UK system, as run by the British Board Of Film Classification (BBFC). It comes down to the decision of the organisation based on their own viewing of the film as submitted. However, I would imagine that the 15 rating (“suitable only for 15 years or over”) is most likely. So far there is no sign of Cougars, Inc. being submitted to the BBFC for the classification needed for a theatrical or video release.
