 We
have just been sent a whole load of info for the
upcoming region two release of DREAMGIRLS. The film
hits the home format on DVD, HD-DVD, and Blu-Ray
from Monday, May 28.
Paramount Pictures presents the Academy Award and
Golden Globe winning musical Dreamgirls, a glittering
tale based on the early 1980’s Broadway musical.
Featuring a stellar cast, Dreamgirls boasts performances
from Academy Award-winner Jamie Foxx, Grammy award-winner
Beyonce Knowles, Danny Glover as well as Golden
Globe-winner Eddie Murphy and introducing a debut
performance from Oscar and Golden Globe winner Jennifer
Hudson.
It’s the 1960s and singers Effie (Jennifer Hudson),
Deena (Beyonce Knowles) and Lorrell (Anika Noni
Rose) are about to have their wildest dreams come
true. Discovered at a talent show by ambitious manager
Curtis Taylor (Jamie Foxx), “The Dreamettes” are
offered a singing stint supporting the legendary
James “Thunder” Early (Eddie Murphy).
Subsequently moulded into an inescapable hit machine
by Taylor and propelled into the spotlight as “the
Dreams”, the girls quickly find their desire for
fame taking priority over their friendship, especially
as ultra-talented Effie is edged out so that the
beautiful Deena can become the face of the group.
The Dreamgirls Showstopper two-disc DVD, features
a wealth of thrilling bonus material including a
feature-length documentary entitled “Building the
Dream” presented in nine chapters as well a variety
of behind-the-scenes featurettes.
The dazzling tale of Dreamgirls will also be digitally
translated onto screens for the first time in crystal
clear HD and Blu Ray formats, enabling fans to enjoy
the film and its special features in the best sound
and picture quality available.
Featuring a sparkling soundtrack, Dreamgirls is
an engaging, entertaining story which perfectly
captures the Motown magic of the 1960s time period
in which it is set.
