GET SHORTY - SPECIAL EDITION DVD
MGM HOME ENTERTAINMENT
RELEASE DATE: 21 MARCH 2005

DRUG SMUGGLING. RACKETEERING. LOAN SHARKING. WELCOME TO HOLLYWOOD!

JOHN TRAVOLTA (Ladder 49, Be Cool, Pulp Fiction) and DANNY DEVITO (Big Fish, Anything Else, LA Confidential) team up for this criminally funny caper based on ELMORE LEONARD’s (Jackie Brown) best-selling novel GET SHORTY, finally out to buy on Special Edition DVD – loaded with cool extras including making of features, star interviews and a deleted scene starring BEN STILLER! - from 21 March 2005 (£15.99 RRP).

Chili Palmer (TRAVOLTA - who won a Golden Globe for his role) is a loan shark tired of his life in the mob. When he heads for Hollywood to collect a massive gambling debt from a small time movie mogul he’s propelled into life as a film producer.

But will working with struggling, down-on-his-luck director Harry Zimm (GENE HACKMAN) and pintsized star Martin Weir (DEVITO) take him to the top of the box office chart? And can he possibly maintain a meaningful relationship with B-Movie queen Karen Flores (RENE RUSSO) whilst fending of the array of angry mobsters and disgruntled drug dealers who refuse to leave him alone?

Super-slick, critically lauded, outrageously funny and perfectly directed by former Coen brothers acolyte BARRY SONNENFELD (White Noise, Men In Black, The Addams Family) this 10th Anniversary disc – released in time for the cinematic release of the hotly anticipated sequel BE COOL – promises to be one of the hottest DVDs of the year.
