“Powerful and Provocative.” - Stephen Whitty, The Star-Ledger

Academy Award® Winner Robert De Niro and Academy Award® Nominee Edward Norton Star in the Suspense-Filled Thriller STONE

Available on Blu-ray™ and DVD on Tuesday, January 18th, 2011 from Anchor Bay Entertainment


BEVERLY HILLS, CA – Academy Award® winner Robert De Niro and Oscar® nominee Edward Norton deliver powerful performances as a seasoned corrections official and a scheming inmate whose lives become dangerously intertwined in Stone, available on Blu-ray™ and DVD on Tuesday, January 18th, 2011 from Anchor Bay Entertainment.  Directed by John Curran (The Painted Veil, We Don’t Live Here Anymore) and written by Angus MacLachlan (Junebug), the Fall 2010 Overture Films release’s superb ensemble features Milla Jovovich (The Fifth Element) and Golden Globe® winner Frances Conroy (“Six Feet Under”). 

Steve O’Brien of WCBS-FM calls Stone a “gritty and engrossing thriller.”  Adds Edward Douglas of ComingSoon.net, Stone is “captivating.”  KNBC’s Jeffrey Lyons says “Norton is amazing”, while SSG Syndicate’s Susan Granger calls Stone “a superbly crafted, smartly acted, suspense-filled thriller.”

In Stone, Jack Mabry (De Niro), a parole officer days away from retirement, is asked to review the case of Gerald “Stone” Creeson (Norton), who’s in prison for arson.  Now eligible for early release, Stone needs to convince Jack he has reformed, but his attempts to use his wife Lucetta (Milla Jovovich) to influence the older man’s decision have profound and unexpected effects on them both.  This tale of passion, betrayal and corruption skillfully weaves together the parallel journeys of two men grappling with dark impulses, as the line between lawman and lawbreaker becomes precariously thin.

Jovovich delivers a startlingly raw, breakout performance as Lucetta, the sexy, casually amoral woman both men desire. Conroy, a Golden Globe® winner, completes the talented ensemble as Madylyn, Jack’s devout, long-suffering spouse.

Available for an SRP of $39.99 for the Blu-ray™ and $29.98 for the DVD, the Stone Blu-ray™ and DVD bonus features include a “The Making of Stone” featurette and the theatrical trailer.
