Paramount Home Media Distribution will add to its Blu-ray catalog two new titles: Wonder Boys (2000) and We're No Angels (1955). The two releases will be available for purchase this November.
Wonder Boys
Synopsis: An unfinished novel, a stolen car, a murdered pet and a failing marriage are just a few of the crises piling up like a logjam in this often hilarious story of bright promise gone awry.
During a single hectic weekend, college professor Grady Tripp (Michael Douglas) scrambles to gather together a life that has suddenly reeled out of control. Along for the ride are his gifted but troubled student (Tobey Maguire, Cider House Rules), his eccentric editor (Robert Downey, Jr.), the married chancellor of his university (Frances McDormand, Fargo) who is pregnant with his child and his sultry student boarder (Katie Holmes, Dawson's Creek).
Directed by Curtis Hanson (L.A. Confidential), this darkly comedic odyssey of self-discovery was hailed by Roger Ebert as "one of the best movies of the year."
STREET DATE: NOVEMBER 24.
We're No Angels
Synopsis: Humphrey Bogart plays one of his rare comedy roles in this jaunty excursion about three convicts - Joseph (Bogart), Albert (Aldo Ray) and Jules (Peter Ustinov) - who are plotting their escape from Devil's Island. Fate intervenes when they hide out with kindly, but inept Felix Ducotel (Leo G. Carrol) and his family. Felix manages a store for his arrogant cousin Andre (Basil Rathbone), who makes the fatal mistake of stealing Albert's beloved pet, a poisonous snake! For the Ducotel's, it will be a Christmas to remember - shared with a trio of rogues who turn out to be three "wise men' after all!
STREET DATE: NOVEMBER 10.
