Sony Pictures Classics confirm BluRay/DVD release of Midnight In Paris
Sony Pictures Classics have confirmed that they will be distributing Woody Allen’s love letter to Paris, Midnight In Paris, on DVD and BluRay to the US market. As yet, there has been no confirmed release date, but I would anticipate it to be soon to cash in on the Christmas market. I will update you all once I have a confirmed date.
If you live in France, you will be one of the first to get your hands on it as you will be able to pick this up on 12th October, distributed by TF1 Vidéo.
UK fans are able to see this in theatres right now, as it was released Friday 7th. Distributed in theatres by Warner Bros, I presume they will also handle the UK BluRay/DVD release, possibly early next year.
Michael Sheen saved by Woody Allen
Article in the Daily Express 26 May 2011
MICHAEL Sheen says he has been saved from being typecast as “that Brit who plays famous people” by director Woody Allen.
The Welsh actor plays an American in Woody’s film Midnight In Paris and hopes to find a wider range of roles on the horizon.
The 42-year-old has played former PM Tony Blair three times and has also portrayedSir David Frost and Brian Clough.
His latest role sees him playing a US professor and he hopes it will convince people that he can “do American”.
He said in a US interview: “I wanted to expand my options and for people to see me in a different light.
“Playing an American in a Woody Allen film is a kind of seal of approval somehow, like, ‘There you go. He can play American.’”
