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. 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.

Cold Case Virtual Season 8 Première

Last year, after the cancellation of Cold Case, a group of fans on the Look Again forum decided to write their own season 8.  That work has come to fruition and the results are now being made available with the season première yesterday.

I’ll let participant nomnivore take it from here:

Our first episode in Cold Case’s virtual season eight is now available!

Visit www.coldcasevirtualseason.net for the first episode in our virtual season “The Wall”, written by Todd Smitts.

Lilly and the squad reopen the case of a CIA agent who retired at the end of the Cold War, only to be murdered in a park in 1993, when new evidence comes to light that robbery may not have been the motive. As they delve deeper into the case, they soon learn that even retired spies have secrets, and that the man’s co-workers and even his own family may know more than their letting on. Meanwhile, as Lilly gets ready for a new chapter, working for the FBI, she begins to have second thoughts as she she realizes she’ll be leaving behind more than just her job. The music of REM is played throughout the episode. Part 1 of 2.

In the coming weeks we’ll publish further episodes featuring Cold Cases from all eras (including a case from 1926). Highlights include:

  • Lilly must choose between working in the FBI and staying with Stillman’s team
  • Scotty deals with fallout from his involvement in Jimmy Mota’s murder
  • The return of former Deputy Commissioner Patrick Doherty
  • We learn more about the extended Rush- Cooper family

Congratulations to all involved for making this happen.  It’s a shame that I can’t make screencaps from it :-)  I’ve added a link in the menu on the right to the CC VS8 site.

Any chance there’ll be a story line about a suave Englishman sweeping Lilly off her feet? :-)

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.

Moneyball To Get November Release In UK?

Back in October of last year Kathryn herself told us that the movie Moneyball was due out in September 2011.  Subsequently, various sites gave us a more definitive date of the 23rd of the month.  But that, it seems, was just for the US market.

The biggest film releases are often done nearly simultaneously across the world to maximise the publicity and minimise the effects of piracy.  It doesn’t look like Moneyball is being considered in terms of a blockbuster summer movie for territories outside of America though.  Film Distributors’ Association Ltd. (FDA), via their Launching Films website, and IMDb are now reporting that the UK theatrical release is set for the 4th of November.

FDA is a trade body representing companies that release movies for the cinema in the UK.  Their members include Sony Pictures, Warner Bros. and Paramount Pictures and as such cover the vast majority of theatrical releases in the country.

Baseball is not a major sport outside of the northern United States, so the thinking may be that putting the film out in a quieter period after all the big action flicks have been and gone may give it a better chance of success.

Moneyball stars Brad Pitt as Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland A’s baseball team, with Kathryn taking the role as his second wife.  Philip Seymour Hoffman and Robin Wright also co-star in the film adaptation of Michael Lewis’ book of the same name.
