Nobody gives you a better peak behind the curtain than Neal Preston. As Queen’s longtime photographer, Neal has been embedded with the band for all their albums and phases. What he gives you now is his specialty — he puts you on the stages and in the rooms where the magic happens. Brian May wasn’t kidding when he said he feels like Neal is a member of the band. This is his most intimate collection of Queen photography yet, and that’s saying a lot.
Cameron, Kate Hudson, Billy Crudup and Patrick Fugit got together remotely to revisit Almost Famous nearly 20 years from its theatrical debut. The nearly hour long session was moderated by Rolling Stone‘s Brian Hiatt and the recent creator of the Almost Famous Origins podcast series, Jim Miller. Enjoy!
We are very excited to share Jim Miller’s Origins Podcast Almost Famous Turns 20 series with you today. All five episodes are bingeable now! It’s a candid in-depth look at all aspects of the film.
In addition to Cameron, you will hear all new insights from Kate Hudson, Billy Crudup, Frances McDormand, Patrick Fugit, Jason Lee, Zooey Deschanel, Jimmy Fallon, Nancy Wilson, Peter Frampton, Neal Preston, Casting director Gail Levin and the real Pennie Lane!
There are many more Almost Famous surprises coming to celebrate the 20th anniversary. Stay tuned….
We are honored that Sony chose to include Jerry Maguire as part of their new limited edition Columbia Classics 4K Ultra HD Collection Vol 1. which will be released on June 8th. Cameron recently approved the brand spanking new 4K transfer and it looks really beautiful. We are also very pleased that Cameron’s appearance on Alec Baldwin’s Here’s The Thing podcast will be part of the extras. Check out the trailer below.
Along with Jerry, the set includes Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Lawrence of Arabia, Dr. Strangelove, Gandhi and A League of Their Own. A breakdown of all the extras for all six films is available at Blu-ray.com, but rest assured that Jerry will include the previous 20th Anniversary Blu-ray release (and all those extras) in addition to the new 4K disc.
We are super excited to share all the details and the release date for David Crosby: Remember My Name on DVD, Blu-ray and digital release (iTunes, etc.). Please check out the film and all the extras on October 22, 2019 in North America. Other territories will follow. Stay tuned for more on that soon.
