“L.A. Confidential Two-Disc Special Edition” - New Regency's Oscar®-Winning Tour-De-Force Film Noir Comes To DVD And Blu-ray™ Hi-Def™ September 23 From Warner Home Video
(June 16, 2008 – Burbank, CA) – Everything is suspect, everyone is for sale and nothing is what it seems. Word on the street is that on September 23, Warner Home Video will revisit 1950s Hollywood with New Regency’s intense film noir "L.A. Confidential," to be digitally remastered and released as a Standard Definition Two-Disc Special Edition ($20.97 SRP) and single disc Blu-ray™ Hi-Def ($28.99 SRP). Order due date is August 19, 2008.
Kevin Spacey ("American Beauty," "The Usual Suspects"), Russell Crowe, ("Gladiator," "A Beautiful Mind"), Guy Pearce ("Memento," "Priscilla Queen of the Desert"), Kim Basinger ("Batman," "I Dreamed of Africa") and Danny DeVito ("Batman Returns," "Erin Brockovich") star in "L.A. Confidential" which was directed by Curtis Hanson and based on James Ellroy’s “L.A. Quartet” series of novels. Nominated for seven Academy Awards,® including Best Picture and Best Director, the film won two Oscars® (Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress for Ms. Basinger). The evocative and sordid tale of Hollywood back in the day, about three cops, a call girl, a mysterious millionaire and a tabloid journalist, is rife with mystery, ambition, romance and humor. Chicago Sun-Times’ Roger Ebert called the film “seductive and beautiful, cynical and twisted -- one of the best films of the year.”
