Beautiful, fashionable and fun, Clarissa Alpert (Sarah Chalke) is a shallow socialite whose speed dial is a veritable Rolodex of Hollywood power players. Staring her 32nd birthday directly in the eyes (though she will admit only to being 28) the spoiled daddy's girl is in a panic because she is still single. Clarissa, though, always gets what she wants - even if he's Aaron Mason (Philip Winchester), the hottest new producer in town. With the help of her family and friends, Clarissa sets into motion an elaborate plan to lasso the dashing filmmaker who will, she hopes, be the man to put a ring on her finger.
This year the Lifetime cable channel aired the two-part mini series
Maneater, starring Sarah Chalke (
Scrubs, Roseanne), Judy Greer (
Arrested Development), Philip Winchester (
Crusoe), Marla Sokoloff (
The Practice), Gregory Harrison (
Trapper John, M.D.) and Maria Conchita Alonso (
Moscow on the Hudson, The Running Man). This production was directed by none other than Timothy Busfield, who's terrific behind the camera (and has a long resume there), but is probably better known in front of the camera, acting in shows like
thirtysomething, The West Wing and
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.
Now Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced that
Maneater will arrive on DVD this coming
February 9th. Video will be anamorphic widescreen. Audio options will be an English 5.1 soundtrack, and a Portuguese 5.1 soundtrack. Subtitles will also be in English and Portuguese , plus it will be closed captioned. Extras, if any, have not been mentioned. Nor do we have box art yet, but stay tuned for that. In the meantime, this will be a single disc release running 176 minutes long, at a cost of $24.94 SRP.
