January 27 Debut of New Film Collection Coincides
with Grisham's Newest Novel!

Burbank, Calif. October 8, 2008 – Warner Home Video announces the January 27, 2009 debut of the John Grisham Courtroom Collection -- four gripping films based on some of the author’s biggest best-sellers: The Pelican Brief, The Client, A Time To Kill and Runaway Jury. The action-packed films feature top stars Julia Roberts, Denzel Washington, Susan Sarandon, John Cusack, Sandra Bullock, Matthew McConaughey, and Tommy Lee Jones, among others. The release is time to coincide with same day release of Grisham’s newest novel, The Associate.

A former lawyer, Mr. Grisham was elected to the House of Representatives in 1983 and served until 1990. According to publisher Doubleday, to date, his books have sold more than 235 million copies worldwide. Grisham, his wife and two children currently live on their farm in Oxford, Mississippi.

John Grisham Courtroom Collection will sell for $39.92 SRP. Order due date is December 23, 2008.

About the Films
PELICAN BRIEF
A clever law student (Roberts) knows a secret, an investigative reporter (Washington) wants her story, and everyone else wants them dead.

THE CLIENT
An attorney (Jones), out for a conviction, and a rookie lawyer (Sarandon), out of her league, clash over a boy who holds a secret.

A TIME TO KILL
Tensions explode into a fury of activism, Klan terror and a stirring fight for justice when a murder trial ignites racial animosities in a small town.

RUNAWAY JURY
Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, John Cusack and Rachel Weisz star as a gun maker goes on trial, and the backroom maneuvering goes into high gear.

Re: WHV Press Release: John Grisham Courtroom Collection

Ron, Pelican Brief and a Time To Kill were originally released as "flippers". Can we assume this has been fixed and they are both dual-layer? If so, I will purchase the set.

Re: WHV Press Release: John Grisham Courtroom Collection

There is nothing in the announcement indicating that the titles have even been remastered, so at this point, the most we can probably count on is an upgrade from snappers to hard cases. We can always hope for more, though.

Re: WHV Press Release: John Grisham Courtroom Collection

Interesting in that all the films were released by Warner Brothers, except “Runaway Jury”, this was released by 20th Century Fox. Jury was produced by Regency Films, with also produced "The Client" and “A Time to Kill”, which more than likely helped get this film into the collection.
