KL Studio Classics has announced that the 2006 film “Hollywoodland” will be released on Blu-ray for the first time in the USA on August 25, 2020.
Based on the true story of Hollywood’s most notorious unsolved mystery, “Hollywoodland” is a tale of glamour, scandal, and corruption in 1950s Los Angeles. When George Reeves (Ben Affleck), star of TV’s Adventures of Superman, is found dead in his home, millions of fans are shocked by the circumstances of his death. The police and studio bosses want the case closed as a suicide, but rumors linger. Louis Simo (Adrien Brody), a private investigator, picks up the trail and begins to piece together the actor’s last, tension-filled days. Who pulled the trigger? Was it the seductive yet scheming fiancée (Robin Tunney), the spurned lover (Diane Lane), the enraged husband (Bob Hoskins), or was it Reeves himself? Directed by Allen Coulter (Remember Me), “Hollywoodland” is a stylish neo-noir that garnered Ben Affleck a Golden Globe nomination for his superb performance as the iconic Reeves.

I’ve got the original DVD release and it pushes the then-competing HDDVD hard, so a Blu-ray release is kinda funny to me. Then again, I do desperately cling to hopes of a LaserDisc revival…
