Paramount Home Media Distribution has officially announced and detailed its upcoming 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray releases of Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous (2000), starring Billy Crudup, Frances McDormand, Kate Hudson, Jason Lee, and Patrick Fugit. The two releases will be available for purchase on July 13.
"We are extremely proud to revisit Almost Famous with a very special bounty of goodness," said Cameron Crowe. "For the first time, we've created a Deluxe Soundtrack that features nearly every song from the film, along with Nancy Wilson's wonderfully evocative score. We're also thrilled to finally preserve both versions of the film, along with a collection of rare new bonus features, on these beautiful new 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray releases as part of Paramount Presents. Long live physical media!"
Description: Almost Famous is the semi-autobiographical odyssey of 15-year-old William Miller (Patrick Fugit), whose writing talent and earnest passion for rock music earns him an assignment for Rolling Stone, interviewing and touring with Stillwater (Billy Crudup, Jason Lee). Penny Lane (Kate Hudson) is the young groupie who guides him through the wild world of rock heroes, all-night parties, and the most dangerous intensity of all—love. Featuring both the original theatrical cut and the beloved "Bootleg Cut," and a motherload of all-new bonus features, this limited-edition Steelbook is a must-have for collectors and rock 'n' roll fans alike.
This "enormously engaging" (Jeffrey Lyons, WNBC) film boasts superb performances by Golden Globe winner Kate Hudson, Frances McDormand, Billy Crudup, Philip Seymour Hoffman and newcomer Patrick Fugit. Featuring a classic rock soundtrack with music from The Who and Elton John, Almost Famous is "an utter delight from the first frame to fade out" (Lou Lumenick, New York Post) and a must-see for every generation.
