Title: The Queen (April 24, 2007)
Post by: boredfilmmaker on Mar 02, 2007 at 06:01 PM
Buena Vista Home Entertainment have announced the Region 1 DVD release of The Queen for 24th April 2007 priced at $29.99 SRP. Director Stephen Frears (Mrs. Henderson Presents, Dirty Pretty Things, Dangerous Liaisons, The Grifters) pulls back the curtain on the private chambers of the royal family in the aftermath of Princess Diana’s death in 1997, where the contained, traditional world of the Queen of England (Helen Mirren) is brought into conflict with the public, modern Prime Minister (Michael Sheen) and a nation looking to its leaders for guidance in dark times. Dramatic and revealing, the story of The Queen was drawn from extensive interviews, research, discreet sources and informed imagination.

Features include:

    * 1.85:1 Anamorphic Widescreen
    * Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround
    * English and Spanish audio
    * Spanish subtitles
    * Commentary from director Stephen Frears, writer Peter Morgan, and British historian/Royal Expert and author of “Majesty,” Robert Lacey
    * “Making of The Queen” featurette
