LOS ANGELES, CA (January 7, 2002) -- Life as a House, the touching and comic journey of one man who decides to tear down his house and rebuild his world, will be released on Platinum Series™ DVD and VHS March 26 by New Line Home Entertainment. Life as a House stars Academy Award®-winner Kevin Kline, who's getting strong advance buzz as a potential Academy Award nominee for his performance as architect George Monroe. Kline captured his previous Oscar® for his role in A Fish Called Wanda. Critics have also lauded the performance of Hayden Christensen, the young actor who also stars as Anakin Skywalker in the upcoming Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. Life as a House will be available for rental on VHS and DVD, and for sale on Platinum Series DVD at the suggested retail price of $24.98. In addition to Kline (Dave, In & Out), Life as a House stars an ensemble cast of Kristin Scott Thomas (The English Patient), Hayden Christensen (The Virgin Suicides), Mary Steenburgen (Powder, Melvin and Howard), Jena Malone (Stepmom), Jamey Sheridan (The Ice Storm), Sam Robards (A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, American Beauty) and Scott Bakula (TV's "Quantum Leap," American Beauty). Produced and directed by Irwin Winkler -- a filmmaker responsible for such movie classics as Rocky, GoodFellas, The Right Stuff, Raging Bull, Nickelodeon and New York, New York -- the film was written by Mark Andrus (co-writer of As Good As it Gets), with Vilmos Zsigmond (Close Encounters of the Third Kind) serving as Director of Photography and Mark Isham providing the original music.

Divorced from a woman (Scott Thomas) he still loves, alienated from his troubled teenage son (Christensen), and bitter at the loss of a job he never enjoyed anyway, architect George Monroe (Kline) has hit rock-bottom when he decides that it's now or never to tear down his dilapidated home and build a long-postponed dream house worthy of his spectacular ocean cliff property. He begins the project solely with the forced participation of his son in a last-ditch effort to salvage their relationship, but soon more and more people are drawn to his project -- from his next-door neighbor (Steenburgen) and her teenage daughter (Malone) to his ex-wife along with her kids by her current husband (Sheridan). What begins as George's attempt to redeem his own bruised dream turns into something much bigger than he ever imagined -- and something far stronger than just a house. |
