“Unforgiven” 20th Anniversary Edition On Blu-Ray Book February 21 From Warner Home Video

(November 14, 2011 – Burbank, CA) – Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of “Unforgiven,” Clint Eastwood’s magnificent Western that won four Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director, Warner Home Video will release a commemorative Blu-ray Book Edition February 21. The Blu-ray Book contains 54 pages of behind-the-scenes filmmaking insight, rare Eastwood observations, photos, trivia and more. The set’s bonus features include four documentaries, commentary, and a classic “Maverick” TV episode featuring Eastwood (see full details below). “Unforgiven 20th Anniversary Blu-ray Book” will be available for $34.99 SRP. Helmed by Eastwood from a script by David Webb Peoples (“Blade Runner,” “Twelve Monkeys”), “Unforgiven” also won 1993 Oscars for Best Editing (awarded to long-time Eastwood collaborator Joel Cox) and Best Supporting Actor (Gene Hackman). “Unforgiven” is a modern classic that “summarizes everything I feel about the Western,” said Eastwood. In this American Film Institute Top-100 American Movies selection, Eastwood and Morgan Freeman play retired outlaws who pick up their guns one last time to collect a bounty offered by the vengeful prostitutes of the remote Wyoming town of Big Whiskey. Richard Harris is an ill-fated killer-for-hire; Hackman is the sly and brutal local sheriff whose brand of law enforcement ranges from unconventional to ruthless. “Unforgiven” 20th Anniversary Edition Special Features:

• Commentary by Eastwood biographer Richard Schickel
• “All on Accounta Pullin’ a Trigger,” featuring interviews with Morgan Freeman and others
• “Eastwood … A Star”
• “Eastwood & Co.: Making ‘Unforgiven’”
• “Eastwood on Eastwood”: A career retrospective from Time critic/biographer Richard Schickel
• “Maverick” TV series episode “Duel at Sundown” (1959), in which Eastwood plays a virtual younger incarnation of his “Unforgiven” role
• Theatrical trailer

Classic Western, “Fort Apache,” new to Blu-ray: “Fort Apache,” acclaimed for pairing one of the greatest director-star combinations in Hollywood history, gets the Warner Home Video Blu-ray treatment simultaneously with “Unforgiven 20th Anniversary Blu-ray Book.” Roughhouse camaraderie, sentimental vignettes of frontier life, massive action sequences staged in Monument Valley – all are part of “Fort Apache.” So is Ford’s exploration of the West’s darker side. Themes of justice, heroism and honor that Ford would revisit in later Westerns are given free rein in this moving, thought-provoking film that, even as it salutes a legend, gives reasons to question it. Master director John Ford, leading man John Wayne and many familiar Ford “stock company” supporting players saddle up for the first time on Blu-ray in the film that is part of the director’s famed 1948 cavalry trilogy (“She Wore a Yellow Ribbon” and “Rio Grande” are the others). Henry Fonda (“The Grapes of Wrath,” “On Golden Pond”), Shirley Temple (reunited with her director from “Wee Willie Winkie”), Temple’s then-current-husband John Agar, Victor McLaglen, Ward Bond and George O’Brien join Wayne in the stellar cast. Special Features:

• Commentary by F.X. Feeney
• Vintage featurette “Monument Valley: John Ford Country”
