'Prince Blu-ray Movie Collection' Headed for Blu-ray[teaser]All three of Prince's films will be available individually and in a boxed set this October. [/teaser] In an early announcement to retailers, Warner Brothers has revealed 'Prince Blu-ray Movie Collection' will be available on Blu-ray on October 4. The Collection features Prince’s only three acting performances: the Academy Award® winner 'Purple Rain' with newly remastered audio and video, along with the unofficial sequel 'Graffiti Bridge' and 'Under the Cherry Moon', both available for the first time on Blu-ray. 'Purple Rain' - Winner of Grammy® and Academy Awards®[2] for its pulsating song score; Purple Rain marks the electrifying movie debut of Prince as The Kid, a Minneapolis club musician as alienated as he is talented. The Kid struggles with a tumultuous home life and his own smoldering anger while taking refuge in his music and his steamy love for sexy Apollonia Kotero. Prince and the Revolution scorch with "Let’s Go Crazy", "I Would Die 4U", "When Doves Cry" and the title song in what Rolling Stone calls “the smartest, most spiritually ambitious rock-’n’-roll movie ever made.” New 2016 1080p HD master. 'Under the Cherry Moon' - His Purple Rain took the movie and music worlds by storm. Now Prince stars – and makes his directorial debut – in his lavishly playful second film, Under the Cherry Moon. He plays an American musician living with his pal (Jerome Benton) on the French Riviera and on the bank accounts of bored divorcees. The next object of his affection is a lovely and spirited young heiress (Kristin Scott Thomas in her movie debut). He doesn’t count on confronting the girl’s enraged father (Steven Berkoff). And he certainly doesn’t count on falling in love. But with Prince in charge, you can definitely count on exciting music, shimmering costume, production design and style to burn. This Moon shines! New 2016 1080p HD master. 'Graffiti Bridge' - It’s got that Purple Rain feeling through and through. And it’s got The Kid, too! For the first time since Purple Rain, Prince is back as The Kid. And where he goes, there’s music! With "Thieves in the Temple", "New Power Generation", "Elephants and Flowers" and more red-hot Prince tunes from the Platinum-selling Graffiti Bridge soundtrack. What time is it? Party time! Morris Day and the Time play "Release It, Shake!" and more. And you’ll also see and hear George Clinton, Tevin Campbell, Robin Power, Mavis Staples and other hot performers, too. Graffiti Bridge is where the movie meets the music. Cross over on it now! New 2016 1080p HD master. The Prince Movie Collection will be available for $24.98 SRP and each film will sell individually for $14.97 SRP. Instead of the traditional blue Blu-ray casing, each film will be packaged in Prince’s signature color of purple (while supplies last).

'Dark Water' Bound for Blu-ray in October[teaser]Hideo Nakata's horror flick will flood Blu-ray in October.[/teaser]In an early announcement to retailers, Arrow Video is preparing 'Dark Water' for Blu-ray on October 11. After terrifying audiences worldwide with the blockbuster J-horror classic Ring and its sequel, director Hideo Nakata returned to the genre for Dark Water, another highly atmospheric, and critically acclaimed, tale of the supernatural which took the common theme of the dead wet girl to new heights of suspense and drama. Based upon on a short story by Ring author Koji Suzuki, Dark Water follows Yoshimi, a single mother struggling to win sole custody of her only child, Ikuko. When they move into a new home within a dilapidated and long-forgotten apartment complex, Yoshimi begins to experience startling visions and unexplainable sounds, calling her mental well-being into question, and endangering not only her custody of Ikuko, but perhaps their lives as well. Beautifully shot by the same cinematographer as Ring and Pulse, and featuring an especially unnerving sound design, Dark Water successfully merges spine-tingling tension with a family's heart-wrenching emotional struggle, creating one of the very finest and most unsettling contemporary Japanese horror films. The Blu-ray will feature 1080p video, a Japanese DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtrack, and supplements will include: Brand new interview with director Hideo Nakata; Brand new interview with novelist Koji Suzuki; Brand new interview with cinematographer Junichiro Hayashi; Archive interview with actress Asami Mizukawa; Original Making of documentary; Trailer; and a Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Peter Strain. Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $34.98. You can find the latest specs for 'Dark Water' linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule, where it's indexed under October 11.
