Cougars, Inc. Release News & Images

A bumper crop of Cougar news today.

The Official Cougars, Inc. Facebook page has made some announcements.

In the US, I assume, the movie will be available via on demand services from the 1st of April. Exact details have not been released

Also, the film will apparently be “coming to your town throughout April with various parties and screenings.” Again, I assume this is in the US only as no further info was given.

An image from the promotional photoshoot was posted (see right) and this has been added to a new album in the Gallery. We also got another on set image of Kathryn (see left). And, there was a link to a trailer for the movie on IMDb but it is the same one we’ve already seen.

Thanks to Asher for posting the news and the photos.

Update: Shaw, TV/phone/Internet provider in Canada, is now listing Cougars, Inc. on their Video On Demand service as available from 1st April. Details here. I’m sure it will appear on others soon enough.

Exclusive! Sendera Didn’t Make The Cut

Danny Pino and Tracie Thoms have got themselves bookings on new show pilots. Sadly, for our other Cold Case favourite’s new show it is not looking so good.

In the past few weeks there has been a lot of reports about new programmes and the actors signed up to take part in them. One show has been notable by its absence: Sendera. Sendera is the “night time soap” being developed by Kathryn’s Hotplate Productions in collaboration with Eva Longoria’s UnbeliEVAble Entertainment. The last we heard a script had been commissioned by ABC.

The lack of news lead me contact the fount of all knowledge on such matters: Deadline.com‘s Nellie Andreeva for an update. According to her the lack of news is a bad sign. Nellie didn’t go into detail but I surmise that the project is dead.

Thanks again to Nellie for her assistance.

Cougars Get Loverboys In Germany

Amazon German has changed the details of the DVD and Blu-ray editions of Cougars, Inc.

The Blu-ray is now listed as Loverboys – Mother’s Little Helpers as it was when news first broke back in January of the early release on discs in Europe.

The DVD page on the other hand has an extra surprise for us as we get the even more different title of Loverboys – Desperate Wives. I’m thinking that one of those will change before long so they are both the same.

The Loverboys part of the title does seem fixed as the box art shown for both formats has changed to include that wording. The different aspect ratio of the covers means the layout is slightly different for each case. Check out the Gallery for hi-resolution copies of both images. I’ve also included a much larger sized box art image.

I assume that the “FSK ab 16 freigegeben” logo in the lower left corner is an age rating. 16 does seem more appropriate than the “12” currently in the text on the Amazon pages.

Cougars, Inc. Straight To DVD US Release Details

Distributor Lionsgate has officially issued details of the forthcoming North American Cougars, Inc. DVD and Blu-ray releases, including box art for both disc formats. The movie is due to go straight to DVD in America and Canada on the 10th of May.

After the jump you’ll find a copy of the Lionsgate document. I’ve added HQ images of the DVD (see right) and Blu-ray box art to the Gallery. As you can see the shorter/wider format of the Blu-ray packaging means the cropping of the image is slightly different.

Confirming what has been suspected for a while I was recently told by a representative of Grindstone Entertainment (the distributing partner of Lionsgate for the film) that there will be no theatrical release for Cougars, Inc. To remove any confusion that I might have been talking about the UK I did re-check that this related to the US as well. It did.

A straight to DVD release does not preclude the possibility of screenings, possibly as part of the publicity campaign, but even a limited theatrical distribution is now very unlikely.

Cougars, Inc. Blu-ray On Amazon UK… Sort Of

Cougars, Inc. on Blu-ray has made an appearance on the United Kingdom version of Amazon online store. However, it is not a proper UK release, rather it is an import of the American one. You can find the item listing here.

No price or release date is given, just the option of signing up to receive a notification of availability, but I’m sure the details of American version apply

So far we have America, Canada and our original surprise sighting of Germany listing Cougars, Inc. on Blu-ray and/or DVD. If you spot it as being available in your local area please let me know via the contact form.

I updated the Blu-ray box image in the Gallery yesterday with a version that includes the spine (as seen on the right). That section appears to have been cropped off the previous version.
