Kino Lorber have revealed that they are preparing a Blu-ray release of Jim McBride's
The Big Easy (1986), starring Dennis Quaid, Ellen Barkin, Ned Beatty, John Goodman, and Lisa Jane Persky. The release is expected to arrive on the market early next year.
Colorful drama, set in New Orleans, about the relationship which develops between a young police lieutenant and an uncompromising female DA who is unimpressed with the bribery and corruption which is rife in his department. A vicious gang war is also simmering and looks set to erupt at any moment, as the murder of a Mafia soldier is followed swiftly by the killing of three drug-dealing gangsters.
