LOS ANGELES, CA (December 10, 2001) New Line Home Entertainment today announced the premiere of The Prime Gig, an intense and suspenseful thriller starring Vince Vaughn, Julia Ormond and three-time Oscar nominee Ed Harris that will keep you guessing until the very end. The Prime Gig will be available for rental on VHS and DVD and for sale on DVD for $24.98 on February 12, 2002.

The Prime Gig is directed by Gregory Mosher. The film co-stars Wallace Shawn (The Princess Bride, The Curse of The Jade Scorpion), Stephen Tobolowsky (Memento, The Insider)and George Wendt (TV's "Cheers").

The DVD features both widescreen and fullscreen versions of the film, 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound, 5.1 DTS surround sound, stereo surround sound, English subtitles and closed captions.
Vince Vaughn (Domestic Disturbance, Made) is Pendelton "Penny" Wise, a small time scam artist. When he teams up with legendary con man Kelly Grant (Ed Harris, Pollock, Apollo 13) and his sexy, young associate Caitlin Carlson (Julia Ormond, First Knight, Sabrina), he loses sight of rule number one: never trust another con. With greed, sex and betrayal at its core, this story about the scam of a lifetime exposes the evil that people do for money.
