The boys in black are celebrating 15 years and Lionsgate pays tribute to a cult classic this fall with a massive merchandising program highlighted by the release of the Reservoir Dogs 15th Anniversary Edition DVD and Reservoir Dogs video game from Eidos. A critical addition to the DVD repertoire of any bona fide crime-film fan, the Reservoir Dogs 15th Anniversary Edition DVD will be available for the suggested retail price of $19.98

Directed by Quentin Tarantino, and featuring the star power of Harvey Keitel (Mean Streets, Thelma & Louise), Steve Buscemi (Con Air, Fargo), Michael Madsen (Donnie Brasco, Sin City), and Tim Roth (Pulp Fiction, Rob Roy), this compelling action-packed drama about a robbery gone awry changed the face of the film landscape and propelled Tarantino’s status as one of the foremost film visionaries. Reservoir Dogs has built one of the most loyal fan bases in film history and the DVD has been designed with the most die-hard enthusiasts in mind. The explosive title will have a special place on the DVD shelf as it comes packaged in a one-of-a-kind collectible oil can design and is loaded with newly-created exclusive bonus materials including a pulp factoids viewer, compelling featurettes and more. In addition to the DVD, Lionsgate has partnered with Eidos for an all-new multi-platform video game that will be released timed to the DVD. Available for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, Xbox video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PC, the game gives you the opportunity to play through the events of the film - leading up to and following the break down of the heist - from the perspective of each character. Truly bringing the movie to life and featuring the voice of Madsen, gamers get to experience those parts of the film that were only suggested as they delve further into the world of Reservoir Dogs and find out what happened at the diamond store. Rated M for Mature by the ESRB, the video game will be available day and date with the DVD on October 24 for the suggested retail price of $29.99 for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions and $29.99 for the PC game.
