Here’s some news on the blu-ray release date for Ceremony.
On June 21, 2011, Magnolia Home Entertainment brings the romantic comedy Ceremony to Blu-ray. Starring Michael Angarano (Almost Famous) and Uma Thurman (Pulp Fiction, Mad Dog and Glory), Ceremony tells the story of a young man obsessed with derailing his older ex-lover’s upcoming nuptials. From Magnolia’s official synopsis:
Aspiring children’s book author Sam Davis (Angarano) convinces his former best friend Marshal (Reece Thompson) to spend the weekend with him to rekindle their friendship at an elegant beachside estate owned by a famous documentary filmmaker Whit Coutell (Lee Pace). But it soon becomes clear that Sam has ulterior motives when Marshal learns that Whit’s fiancée, Zoe (Thurman) is Sam’s ex. His plan is to thwart their impending nuptials but it begins to unravel as he is forced to realize how complicated love and friendship can be.
The film, director Max Winkler’s first, arrives on Blu-ray with a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film.
You can now pre-order Ceremony from Amazon for $20.99 here.
Videoeta has listed Lee as one of their ten surefire a-listers by 2015. They speak the truth!
Lee is no ordinary face in the crowd for those of us who watched him every week as the Pie Maker in Pushing Daisies. But for most of the world, he is a complete unknown for the time being. That will all change later this year when he shows up in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1. Not only will he pop back up in Part 2 next year, but he also scored a coveted role in another two-part blockbuster The Hobbit. On the strength of those four movies alone, Lee Pace will be a household name by 2015.
Eee! As a LOTR fan, this is some exciting news!
I’m also pleased to announce that Lee Pace will be playing the Elven King Thranduil. Casting these Tolkien stories is very difficult, especially the Elven characters, and Lee has always been our first choice for Thranduil. He’s going to be great. We loved his performance in a movie called “The Fall” a few years ago, and have been hoping to work with him since. When we were first discussing who would be right for Thranduil, Lee came into mind almost immediately.
Congrats Lee!
