Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has announced the Blu-ray release of director Barry Levinson's
Diner, starring Steve Guttenberg, Daniel Stern, Mickey Rourke, Kevin Bacon, Tim Daly and Ellen Barkin. The film streets on February 3, 2015.
Synopsis: Fries with gravy, a cherry cola. Friendship, bragging rights... and does Sinatra or Mathis croon the best makeout music? Before there was the counterculture of the '60s, there was the counter culture. From his Oscar-nominated script, Barry Levinson makes his directorial debut with this study of pals in transition. Film-debuting Ellen Barkin plays a neglected wife. Steve Guttenberg, Daniel Stern, Mickey Rourke, Kevin Bacon, Timothy Daly and Paul Riser -- chosen from over 600 hopefuls -- play the up-all-night buddies who work out the remnants of adolescence during ritual grazings at a busy steel-and-vinyl hangout in 1959 Baltimore.
Warner has yet to detail tech specs or special features. (The 1999 DVD edition included a behind-the-scenes documentary and a director's introduction.)
