20th Century Fox Entertainment will release on Blu-ray two films directed by Danny DeVito: The War of the Roses (1989), starring Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito, and Hoffa (1992), starring ack Nicholson, Danny DeVito and Armand Assante. Street date for the two releases, both of which will be part of the studio's 'Signature' series, is September 18th.
The War of the Roses
In this blackest of comedies, a perfect 18-year marriage suddenly becomes unglued and the gleefully evil Barbara (Kathleen Turner) and Oliver (Michael Douglas) Rose single-mindedly inflict as much misery as possible on each other. Rather than just get divorced, they declare war, fighting to the bitter end over their huge mansion and every possession in it. Not even the calculating guidance of Oliver's lawyer (Danny DeVito) can stop this uncompromising twosome as their vicious battle sends them on an increasingly dark and dangerous path.

Hoffa
Director/co-star Danny DeVito's unforgettable epic stars Jack Nicholson as Jimmy Hoffa, the legendary Teamster boss whose mysterious disappearance has never been explained. The film traces Hoffa's passionate struggle to shape the nation's most influential labor union, his relationship with the mob, and his subsequent conviction and prison term at the hand of Robert Kennedy.
