Die Mommie Die!, the comedic revision of the 60s melodrama starring theater veteran Charles Busch, is coming to DVD on June 29, 2004. The film, which premiered at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival and was released as part of the 2004 Sundance Film Series, is destined to become a cult classic.

Written by and starring Charles Busch, Die Mommie Die! was directed by Mark Rucker and also stars Frances Conroy (³Six Feet Under"), Philip Baker Hall (Magnolia), Natasha Lyonne (Slums Of Beverly Hills), Jason Priestley (³Beverly Hills, 90210²), and Stark Sands (³Six Feet Under²). In a performance that earned him the Special Jury Prize for Acting at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival, Busch stars as fallen pop diva Angela Arden, a heroine in the grand tradition of Hollywoodıs formidable females: tough yet tender, ruthless yet seductive, extremely warped yet oddly sympathetic. Die Mommie Die! wittily evokes classic Hollywood genres, notably the ³womenıs pictures² of the 1940-60s and the glossy suspense melodramas of the 1960s.

Special features on the DVD include commentary with director Mark Rucker, writer/actor Charles Busch and actor Jason Priestley; a directorıs Introduction; Sundance Channelıs original program ³Anatomy of a Scene² featuring a scene from Die Mommie Die!; ³Why Not Me?², Die Mommie Dieıs own music video as well as Charles Buschıs performance in full color; a deleted scene; the theatrical and sales trailer; Charles Buschıs screen tests; footage of the filmıs celebrate costumes; a gallery of rejected Die Mommie Die! movie posters; a photo gallery from the set and from the New York and Los Angeles premieres; biographies & production notes in downloadable PDF format; video remix by Dan-o-Rama Productions, Inc. and audio remix by HiNRG/E&C Remix Factory; and highlights from the 2003 Sundance Film Series.
