Dark Horse DVD This November!

Not much by way of specs have been released yet, but we know Dark Horse will be coming to DVD (and Blu-Ray!) on November 13th from Arts Alliance America/ Virgil Films and Entertainment.  I've seen it announced on some sites that it will be unrated and in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1; but even that may just be guessing the obvious. There's nothing up on there about Dark Horse yet, but here's the company website, and you can now pre-order the DVD or Blu from Amazon.

The Dark Horse Trailer

The official theatrical trailer for Dark Horse is now online, and here it is!

Dark Horse In Theaters This Summer

According to this article in The Hollywood Reporter, Dark Horse has acquired distribution and will be released in theaters here in the US this summer. It's been picked up by Brainstorm Media, marking their first theatrical outing.

Producer Ted Hope is quoted as saying, "Like that old 35mm we all once loved, Dark Horse will be playing only in theaters this summer. Meyer and his team have constructed a way for the filmmakers and our investors to be true partners in this venture."

Apparently, we can expect Dark Horse to open in New York on June 8th, followed by later openings in other cities. The article doesn't say so, but presumably Brainstorm will follow this up with a DVD/ digital release after the summer, for those of us who don't live in a major, metropolitan city.

Next Out of the Gate: Dark Horse

So Todd Solondz's latest film is on its way, set to debut at the Toronto and Venice Film Festivals next month. Hopefully, that means it won't be too much longer, then, for it to disseminate to us little people with a more general release. Dark Horse features some intriguing and noteworthy names among its cast: Mia Farrow, Christopher Walken and Storytelling alumni Selma Blair, and is produced by regular Solondz collaborators Ted Hope and Derrick Tseng (for the full cast and crew line-up, check out Dark Horse's page on the imdb). The plot is briefly described as: "Thirty-something guy with arrested development falls for thirty-something girl with arrested development, but moving out of his junior high school bedroom proves too much. Tragedy ensues."

I'm not sure if the film is 100% complete yet, but with locked festival commitments, they've gotta be close! And while there isn't an official trailer or anything yet, there is a brief clip that fans will definitely want to check out: here.
