Optimum Releasing have dropped us a line to let us know that the region two DVD of their flick THE NINES is now out there on the retail shelves.

The Nines  consists of three inter-linked stories, each featuring the same actors in  different —and sometimes overlapping— roles.

“The Prisoner” tells the story of a  troubled television star (Ryan Reynolds – Definitely Maybe, Smokin Aces) who finds himself under house arrest,  with his chipper publicist (Melissa McCarthy) and disillusioned next-door  neighbor (Hope Davis) providing his only links to the outside world.  Mysterious events lead him to question whether one or both women are deceiving  him about the nature of his incarceration.

“Reality Television” is a half-hour episode  of “Behind the Screen,” a Project Greenlight-style documentary series tracking  the process of creating a network television drama. Having shot the pilot,  creator/showrunner Gavin Taylor (also Ryan Reynolds) faces post-production  with the help of his best friend (and lead actress) Melissa McCarthy and  development VP Susan Howard (Hope Davis).

 “Knowing” finds an  acclaimed videogame designer (also Ryan Reynolds) and his wife (Melissa  McCarthy) facing car trouble deep in the woods. Their daughter (Elle Fanning)  uncovers information which leads to a difficult and irrevocable  choice.

Together, the three stories form a single  narrative that explores the relationships between author and character, actor  and role, creator and creation. Alternately funny and unsettling, The Nines  is like a riddle where the answer is the question: “How does it all add  up?”
