Shout Factory has announced that it will bring two new titles to Blu-ray: Anne Bancroft's Fatso (1980) and Scott Hicks's Snow Falling on Cedars (1999). The two releases will be available for purchase in June.
Fatso
Synopsis: Dom DeLuise stars in a bittersweet romantic comedy.
All his life, Dominic DiNapoli (DeLuise) has found comfort in food. But when his sister Antoinette (Anne Bancroft, who also wrote and directed) implores him to stop eating himself into an early grave, Dominic begins bouncing from crash diets to the support group "Chubby Checkers" to all manner of binges in between. Throughout this painful process, Dominic discovers that what he needs most is a steady diet of love — from his family, from a new and lovely neighborhood acquaintance ... and most importantly, from himself.
This serio-comic battle of the bulge is a perfect showcase for DeLuise's talents and a charmingly sweet examination of a man who rediscovers his taste for life, happiness, and romance.
STREET DATE: JUNE 25.
Snow Falling on Cedars
Synopsis: A murder trial has upset the quiet community of San Piedro, and now this tranquil village has become the center of controversy. For Ishmael Chambers (Academy Award®-nominee* Ethan Hawke, Dead Poets Society), a local reporter, the trial strikes a deep emotional chord when he finds his ex-lover is linked to the case. As he investigates the killing, he uncovers some startling clues that lead him to a shocking discovery.
Co-starring James Cromwell, Richard Jenkins, Sam Shepard, and Max von Sydow, Snow Falling On Cedars is "hypnotic, mesmerizing and inspiring" (ABC-TV)!
STREET DATE: JUNE 18.
