New DVD Set Can Also Be Used for Weight Training
Are you a film fan with deep pockets and plenty of bookshelf
space? United Artists has a DVD set for
you.
The studio turns 90 in 2009 and is celebrating with a huge
campaign of tours and promotions, including a humongous 90-film DVD
collection that will be released on December 11th and has a suggested retail
price of $869.98 (although it's already easy to find for much less). The collection weighs 30 pounds.
Highlights include The Pink
Panther, Marty, The Manchurian Candidate, Midnight Cowboy, Raging Bull and
Annie Hall. There aren't many losers in
the bunch, although most if not all of these films are already available for
individual purchase.
In a recent interview, Wagner talked about UA's "brand," something studios aren't really known for anymore: when was the last time you went to a film because it was a Fox or an MGM production? Wagner told Worldscreen.com, "The new United Artists is committed to making a wide range of movies, from big franchise pictures to more personal, story-driven films. If there’s a common denominator, it’s filmmaker-driven projects that reflect the UA legacy...I like to think that we extend enormous creative freedom to the artists with whom we work. This is UA’s historical legacy and it’s what we’re all about today."




















Did they send you a copy? What overkill!
