'Shootout' DVD to roll out

First season to hit shelves on Dec. 27

Delta Entertainment will release "Sunday Morning Shootout: The Best of Season 1" on Dec. 27 in association with Davis-Anderson Merchandising Corp.

The first season of the AMC show includes interviews with Clint Eastwood, Charlize Theron, Denzel Washington, Harvey Weinstein and Bruce Willis, among others, as well as episodes produced on location at Sundance and Cannes.

The six-disc set of the first season will include hours of bonus features revolving around the show's hosts, producer Peter Guber and Variety editor-in-chief Peter Bart, as well as the full interviews with actors and filmmakers that are cut to about 10 minutes for the half-hour show.

There will also be a day-in-the-life documentary with Bart and Guber as they go about their day jobs and then head to the studio to record another episode of the show.

Each DVD will be presented with a specific theme, such as "The Triple Threat: Actor/Director/Producer" and "The Executive Shuffle: Revenge of the Hollywood Suits." The six discs will be sold in a deluxe set or in two-packs.

In its third season on AMC, the Scott Sternberg production is scheduled to reach its 100th episode this spring.

"We always had envisioned DVD as part of our long-term strategy for the series and believe Delta Entertainment is the ideal company to distribute it," said executive producer Sternberg.
