(May 8, 2000 – Burbank, CA) - Academy Award®-winning director Barry Levinson (“Rain Man,” “Good Morning Vietnam”) travels to “Liberty Heights” with the VHS rental and DVD release on June 20. Heralded as “brilliant” by the New York Daily News and proclaimed “a very rich movie” by Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times, Liberty Heights is the fourth of Levinson’s classic Baltimore-based films, which included the widely-praised “Diner,” “Tin Men” and “Avalon.”
The powerful and moving film stars Joe Mantegna (“Bugsy”, “Up Close & Personal”), two-time Emmy Award winner Bebe Neuwirth (“Cheers,” "The Faculty”), Adrien Brody ("The Thin Red Line,” “Summer of Sam”), and Ben Foster (NBC’s “Freaks and Geeks”).
Available for sale on DVD at $24.98 SRP, “Liberty Heights” will contain special bonus features including a deleted scene with a special introduction by director Barry Levinson, “On the Set” behind-the-scenes footage on location, interviews with the director and cast, music-only track featuring classic 1950s songs, and theatrical trailers (including “Diner”).
