Urgent Powder Blue News


I know all of you are breathlessly awaiting the release of the Jessica Biel epic "Powder Blue," about a "down-on-her-luck single mother stripper with a heart of gold" whose life intersects with others on Christmas Eve, year unknown (and unnecessary!). The movie also stars Forest Whitaker, Ray Liotta, Patrick Swayze, Eddie Redmayne and Kris Kristofferson, but the focus is understandably on Biel because she has chosen to announce herself as an actress in the only way she knows how, as a stripper.

According to this article, the movie, which was once scheduled to open on limited release (that just means NYC and LA) on April 24th, will now open May 8th and be released to DVD the next month. I am shocked (SHOCKED!) that this movie, a blatant ripoff of the Crash format which has been so misused since its premiere and success, would be a Direct-to-DVDer. That being said, I am still bursting at the seams, because now perchaps I can see the movie in the theaters and then only have to wait a month to buy it! Win win win!

For further information about Powder Blue click on the tag below. It will direct you to my previous posts that include more pictures and the trailer (which puts the word epic to shame).
