PARAMOUNT HOME VIDEO SCORES WITH A NIGHT AT THE ROXBURY ON DVD IN APRIL

Three More DVD Titles Also Released On That Date

Hollywood, February 22, 1999

On April 20, hipness reaches new levels as Paramount Home Video releases the ultra-cool comedy, A NIGHT AT THE ROXBURY, on DVD, day-and-date with the videocassette release. Also available on that date will be three more eagerly anticipated favorites from Paramount's extensive catalog of hits. All titles will be available for $29.99 S.R.P. each in the U.S. and $39.99 S.R.P. each in Canada, with an M.A.P. of $24.95 in the U.S. Order cut-off date is March 23.

In the $30 million box-office smash, A NIGHT AT THE ROXBURY, Steve (Will Ferrell) and Doug (Chris Kattan) have only one goal in life: to get into L.A.'s #1 night spot - the too-cool Roxbury Club - and become movers and shakers of the night club scene. Unfortunately, they're not on the guest list, so they're stuck on the sidewalk as "A-club people leading a B-club life." That is until they roll into a fender bender with club regular and litigation-phobic actor Richard Grieco, who helps them score, by escorting them into the Roxbury. Now anything's possible and life will never be the same for those cheesy Roxbury Guys.

Also on April 20, Paramount will release on DVD the fifth installment in the Star Trek franchise, William Shatner's directorial debut, STAR TREK V: THE FINAL FRONTIER, starring William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy; and the effects-packed shocker which puts a new twist on haunted-house movies, THE RELIC, starring Tom Sizemore, Penelope Ann Miller and Linda Hunt; and the spectacular adaptation of H.G. Wells classic novel, THE WAR OF THE WORLDS, starring Gene Barry, Ann Robinson and Les Tremayne and containing Academy Award-winning special effects that can be considered on par with anything seem in films today.

All titles in the Paramount DVD line feature interactive menus, scene selection and theatrical trailers. They are also in widescreen format, except for the THE WAR OF THE WORLDS which contains the original Dolby Digital monaural tracks. In addition, all titles are all close-captioned for the hearing impaired.
