Comic genius Dave Chappelle takes his explosive humor and raw energy on the road in a freewheeling and heartwarming journey from small-town Ohio to the vibrant streets of New York City in Dave Chappelle’s Block Party coming to DVD June 13, from Universal Studios Home Entertainment in an unrated, extended DVD version for the suggested retail price of $29.98.
Dave Chappelle’s Block Party features over 20 minutes of additional material not shown in theaters plus more than 45 minutes of bonus features that give viewers a chance to go behind-the-scenes of the most outrageous event of the decade.
Directed by Academy Award winner Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), Dave Chappelle’s Block Party follows the funnyman as he treats a Brooklyn neighborhood and a group of out-of-towners to a hilarious, no-holds barred, once-in-a-lifetime celebration. The unforgettable daylong party that results is loaded with humor, as well as a historic showcase of today's most influential musical artists, including Kanye West, Mos Def, Erykah Badu, Common, Jill Scott, the Roots plus the legendary Fugees - who reunite for the first time in eight years. Irreverent, innovative and brilliant, Dave Chappelle revolutionized television comedy with the gleefully subversive humor of the Emmy-nominated “Chappelle’s Show” on Comedy Central. On the home entertainment front, Chappelle’s Show: Season One and Chappelle’s Show: Season Two have become two of the three best-selling TV DVDs of all time.
The block party celebration will continue with a slew of special features, including:
September in Brooklyn: Making of Block Party: Go behind-the-scenes to experience what it took to create this unprecedented event. Extended Music Acts: Through icon-driven branching, fans can extend the film even more by watching extended musical acts. Ohio Players: The Bus Ride: A special featurette which chronicles Dave’s adventures in his hometown of Yellow Springs, Ohio; population 3,761. The dual layer DVD will be presented in 1:85:1 Anamorphic Widescreen and 1:33:1 Full Frame. It will feature English Dolby Digital 5.1; English SDH; French and Spanish subtitles.
