Doubt - April 7

[Britnasty]

According to a Meryl Streep fansite, this is the DVD Cover for Doubt:


Do we have a release date yet? Someone mentioned April 14th on the fan forum.

I thought April 7, but it's probably one or the other. Boo on yet another "floating heads" cover.

i am almost positive this is a fake cover... it looks extremely unprofessional.

I hope we get a Blu Ray version. Miramax has been slacking.. Blindness!!!

I could of sworn I did a DOUBT thread some days back. With the correct release of April 7th. Odd, I can't find that post I did. Strange

Anyone who’s seen Doubt, John Patrick Shanley’s acclaimed return to directing (his last film was 1990’s Joe Versus the Volcano), is now familiar with Meryl Streep’s subzero gaze peering out from beneath her nun’s habit as she plays Sister Aloysius, the tough principal of a New York Catholic school who suspects her parish’s new, popular priest (Philip Seymour Hoffman) has molested one of the students. Just in time for the Academy Awards, for which Doubt secured five nominations, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment has announced Doubt will release on DVD ($29.99) and Blu-ray Disc ($34.99) April 7 (prebook Feb. 24).

The Doubt DVD and Blu-ray Disc both house the special features “From Stage to Screen,” in which Shanley discusses the history of Doubt, his inspirations for the story, and adapting his acclaimed play, with participation from Streep and Sister Margaret McEntee (Shanley’s former teacher, who served as a consultant on the film and who was formerly known as Sister James, the name of Amy Adams’ character in the film and play). The discs also include special features on composer Howard Shore’s musical score, interviews with Shanley and Streep on talking to real nuns in order to portray their lives accurately in the film, more cast interviews and a commentary with Shanley, for which he said they “put him in a booth and [he] just freely associated for the length of the film.”

It is a fake cover, unless the Academy Awards have already been announced and Hoffman and Streep won.

I got that cover off of digital bits

It's just a reference to their past wins. Any time it says "Academy Award Winner" on the cover doesn't mean they won for that movie.

Anyways, this was one of the biggest disappointments of the year. I blame it solely on the director.

I liked it a lot, but not sure I would buy it and see it over an over again!

even at her current age, I would still drill a hole in Meryl Streep.

Great film, and I can't wait to add it to my Blu-ray library.

What do you mean it was a disappointment, it was a great performance throughout. I thought it was very close to the play and added in some great scenes for filler.

I do not like that cover. I wish they would just incorporate this image into the cover, maybe make this cross white and put it against a black background. Simple, yet much better imo.

I never knew Amy Adams was nominated before.

I wasn't disappointed one bit...

I still think it was a good movie, but I was disappointed, too. The stage version was vastly superior, and I also blame John Patrick Shanley for directing his own (screen)play -- he should've handed it off to someone who could bring to it an objective eye.

In the play, there are 4 characters on stage; you never see the kids, nor the priest's interactions with the kid in question. In the film, you're looking for every little sign and it leads you to become more suspicious of him than the play. On stage, you have to formulate on what side of the issue you fall based entirely on your own feelings: did he, or did he not?

can't wait for this. One of the best drama of the year!!!
