ACCLAIMED EPIC WESTERN SERIES WITH TWO FINAL
HOME ENTERTAINMENT COLLECTIONS
 
HELL ON WHEELS: SEASON FIVE, VOLUME 2 -
THE FINAL EPISODES
&
HELL ON WHEELS: THE COMPLETE SERIES
 
Street Date: November 1, 2016
 
As the Transcontinental Railroad Nears Completion, Will it Be Derailed by Corruption, Greed and Murder?  Fans Will Want to Book Passage for the Final  Thrilling Episodes on SEASON FIVE - VOLUME 2, which Includes Bonus Featurettes and More; THE COMPLETE SERIES Delivers All Five Gripping Seasons 
and 57 Episodes Across 17 Discs   
 
PROGRAM SYNOPSES:

Credited for helping to modernize the Western genre when it premiered in 2011, the top-rated, critically acclaimed AMC mainstay, HELL ON WHEELS, reached the end of the line when its final episode aired this past July.  Across five captivating seasons, the lavishly produced series tells the story of post-Civil War America focusing on Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount), a Confederate soldier who sets out to exact revenge on the Union soldiers who killed his wife.  When his journey takes him west to Hell on Wheels, a lawless melting pot of a town that travels with and services the construction of the transcontinental railroad, Bohannon finds himself a stranger in a strange land.

Chronicling a potent turning point in our nation's history, HELL ON WHEELS documents the railroad's engineering and construction, as well as institutionalized corruption, the rich history of Chinese workers and the plight of newly emancipated African-Americans during Reconstruction, ultimately showing viewers, week in and week out, just how uncivilized the business of civilization can be.
 
In HELL ON WHEELS: SEASON FIVE , VOLUME 2 - THE FINAL EPISODES (2 discs; Blu-ray/$39.98srp + DVD/$29.98srp), Bohannon finds himself in the mountain town of Truckee, Calif., home to the Central Pacific Railroad.  This rough and tumble railroad town teems with thousands of Chinese workers, foreign in language, culture and traditions.  Despite the challenges of corralling his new workforce, Cullen leads the Herculean effort to tunnel through the Sierra Nevada Mountains, sometimes achieving only inches a day in the race to complete the first Transcontinental Railroad. Across the final seven episodes, the push to finish brings with it a reckoning for Bohannon and the men standing in his path: the bloodthirsty Swede (Christopher Heyerdahl); the mercenary Chang (Byron Mann); and the rapacious Thomas Durant (Colm Meaney).  And while the railroad's completion is certain, who and what will survive when the golden spike is finally planted remains in question - with no one more at risk than Bohannon himself.
 
Across 57 episodes, HELL ON WHEELS: THE COMPLETE SERIES (17 discs; Blu-ray/$149.98srp + DVD/$119.98srp) unspools the fan favorite in its entirety.  Winner of three consecutive Western Heritage Awards for Outstanding Fictional Drama, this epic 17-disc set delivers more than 40 hours of gritty, award winning entertainment which In Touch Magazine calls "Unforgiven meets Glory".  With the stunning landscapes surrounding Calgary standing in for the epic sweep of the West, HELL ON WHEELS brought the hardscrabble American frontier into living rooms across the country for five compelling seasons.  Now, this completists' box, available in both Blu-ray and DVD formats, gathers the series in one attractive set, giving fans the opportunity to relive this landmark Western again and again.
 
"Hell on Wheels" is executive produced by showrunner John Wirth ("Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," "Falling Skies," "The Cape"); Paul Kurta ("Veronica Mars," Empire Records); Michael Rosenberg ("Hung"); Jeremy Gold, EVP Creative Affairs, for Endemol Shine Studios; and Mike Frislev and Chad Oakes from Nomadic Pictures ("Fargo," "Broken Trail"). eOne's Debra Curtis, SVP Current Programming, and Armand Leo, SVP Production, oversee production in partnership with producers. 
 
eOne is the worldwide distributor and licensed television rights in Europe to Endemol.  As a leading international content distributor, eOne also handles worldwide rights for DVD/Blu-ray, VOD and digital distribution.

WARNER ARCHIVE COLLECTION
CONJURES BLU-RAY TM & DVD RELEASE OF
CONSTANTINE: THE COMPLETE SERIES
OCTOBER 4, 2016 VIA ONLINE RETAILERS


Darkness is rising, demons are everywhere … and one man stands between humanity and its worst nightmares: John Constantine. Warner Archive Collection (WAC) and DC Entertainment bring the live-action television series, Constantine: The Complete Series, to Blu-ray™ and DVD on October 4, 2016 via WBshop.com, Amazon and popular online retailers.


Based on the wildly popular DC character, seasoned demon hunter and master of the occult John Constantine (Matt Ryan) is armed with a ferocious knowledge of the dark arts and a wickedly naughty wit. He fights the good fight – or at least he did. With his soul already damned to Hell, he’s decided to abandon his campaign against evil … until a series of events thrusts him back into the fray, and he’ll do whatever it takes to protect the innocent. With the balance of good and evil on the line, Constantine will use his skills to travel the country, find the supernatural terrors that threaten our world and send them back to where they belong. After that, who knows ... maybe there’s hope for him and his soul after all.


Matt Ryan (The Halcyon, Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior) stars as Constantine, a role he has since reprised for Arrow and as the voice of the animated character in the upcoming Justice League Dark.


“Actors don’t generally like to revisit their own filmed performances, but I really enjoyed watching the episodes myself because Constantine is such a bold, outright character – both to play and to watch,” says Ryan. “He’s this brilliant ball of wise-cracking, chain-smoking street magic – and it’s so much fun exploring his fascinating, dark world of torment and mystery. I’m happy the fans will now have the opportunity to experience the series on Blu-ray, plus all the bonus features.”


The cast features Angélica Celaya (Dallas) as Zed, Charles Halford (True Detective, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) as Chas and Harold Perrineau (Lost, Blade: The Series) as Manny. Guest appearances include Jeremy Davies (Justified), Lucy Griffiths (True Blood, Preacher), David A. Gregory (One Life To Live), Michael James Shaw (Roots, Limitless), Claire van der Boom (Game of Silence, Hawaii Five-0), Skyler Day (Parenthood), Mark Margolis (Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, Oz), Charles Parnell (The Last Ship), Michael McGrady (Ray Donovan, Southland), Joelle Carter (Justified) and Max Charles (The Strain, The Neighbors).


Writer Daniel Cerone (“The Mentalist,” “Dexter”) serves as executive producer with David S.

Goyer (“Man of Steel,” “The Dark Knight Rises”). “Constantine” is produced from Bonanza Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. The show is based on the wildly popular comic book character from DC.

COMING OUT
Releasing October 4th on DVD / VOD


In his directorial debut, young NYC-based filmmaker Alden Peters documents his own coming-out experience, capturing everything on-camera as he plans and boldly captures his disclosures to friends, family, and society. Inspired by social media coming out videos by teens around the world, COMING OUT places viewers directly inside the raw, intimate moments when Alden reveals his true identity to his family and friends, ranging from the painfully awkward to the hilariously honest.

Crowdsourced videos from LGBTQ youth from around the world complement the depth of Alden's own story, and he also interviews his own family, friends, and leading LGBT figures and experts, including Janet Mock, about the unique challenges of coming out in today's digital era. 

Said Alden, "When I was a questioning teenager, and later when I made the decision to come out of the closet, I searched for a film that showed the process of coming out. I found nothing but fiction films and YouTube videos, and nobody discussed what happened immediately after coming out. I wanted to see that entire process and hear the uncertainties along the way. Over five years later, Coming Out is the film that I craved."

In the age of smartphones, Facebook, and over-sharing, COMING OUT succeeds in making the personal both a cultural event and a political celebration, and a poignant transcendence of the genre.

THE ROYAL ROAD

DVD & VOD release TOMORROW 9/6 via Wolfe Video

THE ROYAL ROAD

A cinematic essay set against a contemplative backdrop of 16mm urban California landscapes, THE ROYAL ROAD offers up intimate reflections on nostalgia, the pursuit of unavailable women, butch identity and Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo alongside a primer on Junipero Serra's Spanish colonization of California and the Mexican American War. The film world premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival and has won critical attention and awards at festivals throughout the world.

Deceptively simple landscapes serve as the framework for the film's lyrically written voiceover, which combines rigorous historical research with a stream-of consciousness personal monologue and relates these seemingly disparate stories from an intimate, colloquial perspective to tell a one-of-a-kind California tale.  A fascinating and unlikely reinvention story, THE ROYAL ROAD simultaneously explores cinematic spiritual channeling, the conquest and colonization of Mexico and the American Southwest, fading historical Californian urban landscapes, and the passions found in butch identity to achieve an achingly beautiful and poetic defense of remembering. Probing roads from El Camino Real, to the Boulevard of Broken Dreams, to the road right outside the front door, Olson crafts a deeply intelligent and transcending observation of the human condition that reaches for redemption in the embrace of history, nostalgia, mindfulness, and sheer beauty.


THE ROYAL ROAD is especially timely as one of Olson's topics of exploration is the legacy of Spanish missionary Junipero Serra (recently canonized by the Pope amidst much controversy and objections from Native American activists) - just one of the film's many fascinating strands of reflection.
