NEW LINE HOME ENTERTAINMENT EXPANDS DVD CATALOG OF FAMILY FILMS


FATHER AND SCOUT AND THEODORE REX ON DVD FOR THE FIRST TIME JULY 8

Los Angeles (April 14, 2003) New Line Home Entertainment today announced the DVD release of family films Father and Scout and Theodore Rex available for the first time on DVD for $19.98 on July 8. Father and Scout, about a busy city dwelling father and his attempt to make up for lost time by taking his son on a camping trip, stars Bob Saget. In Theodore Rex, starring Whoopi Goldberg, a cop and a dinosaur team up to solve a colossal crime and save the world. These films are currently available on VHS.
FATHER AND SCOUT
Spenser Paley (Bob Saget, TV’s “Americas Funniest Home Videos,” “Full House”) wants to show his son what a great dad he can be, and the school camping trip is the perfect opportunity. A real city slicker, Spenser is nervous about the great outdoors where his jokes come in handier than a Swiss army knife. But when the trip takes a treacherous twist, Michael (Brian Bonsall, Father Hood) discovers that his father is not only a cut-up, he’s also a cut above – and suddenly being a man takes on a whole new meaning.

The DVD includes the fullscreen version of the film, English subtitles, closed captions, animated menus and trailers from other New Line Home Entertainment films. The DVD also features the “Pick That Flick” trivia game, where the user must pick the New Line family film featured in a random image.

THEODORE REX
Academy-Award® winner Whoopi Goldberg (Rat Race, Ghost) proves she’s the perfect comic partner in this hilarious futuristic family comedy about a cop and a dinosaur on a mission to save the world. Whoopi stars as Officer Katie Coltrane, a smooth-talking, take-care-of-business cop on the rise. When they team her up on a high-profile case with a Tyrannosaurus Rex named Teddy, she blows her cool. The bumbling, three-toed dinosaur can’t even find his own tail much less a clue, and although he’s cute in a lizardly sort of way, Katie thinks he’s only good for fossil fuel. Cloned, conned and about to get canned, Katie and Teddy have accidentally come across the biggest crime caper in history!

The DVD includes the widescreen (1.85:1) and fullscreen version of the film, 5.1 Surround Sound-English, Stereo Surround Sound-English, English subtitles and closed captions. The DVD also features animated menus, the original theatrical trailer and trailers from other New Line Home Entertainment films. Also included is the “Pick That Flick” trivia game, where the user must pick the New Line family film featured in a random image.
