TNT via Broadband, New Green Mile DVD
The TNT network is launching a new broadband service called “DramaVision” starting August 15. This initiative will make a wide array of its archive original programming available. “George Wallace” is expected to be among the offerings, although no dates have been set. (Note to The Powers that Be: This doesn’t get you off hook for the DVD.)
A special DVD edition of The Green Mile will be released on November 14. There’s no indication of Gary’s participation, but for fans of this film, this set looks like it will be something special.
George Wallace on DVD?
Now that CSI:NY has bumped Gary’s profile, let’s take another stab at getting George Wallace on DVD.
Here are two things we can all do:
1) Amazon
Go to Amazon and enter George Wallace in the search box, with DVD selected in the format box. It should show up first or second on the search list. When you go to the page that says “this title is not yet released on DVD,” please enter your e-mail address and ask for notification when it is released. The studios do keep an eye on the Amazon list to see which titles are in highest demand. Plus, Amazon users can view the list of top titles and add their votes.
2) Warner Brothers Home Video
Send a postcard to Warner Bros.
Please send polite postcards (yes, postcards) requesting George Wallace on DVD to:
Mr. Jim Cardwell, President
Warner Home Video
4000 Warner Boulevard
Burbank, CA 91522
Be sure to include your name and address. If you receive a response, please let us know.
Thanks for your help! I have no doubt that fans’ interest as expressed to MGM played a role in the DVD release of Of Mice and Men and the special edition. Let’s see if we can get the same treatment for the Emmy-winning George Wallace.

* More cool news! Apollo 13 will be returning to an IMAX theater near you late this summer. Unlike previous screenings of theatrical films on IMAX screens, which simply blew up images projected from a conventional 35 mm negative, a new process has been developed that is said to yield much better results by converting the film’s negative to a 70 mm IMAX format. Those who have seen the results are reportedly quite impressed! The prospect of enjoying this wonderful movie in the theater again, much less in the fabulous widescreen format, is really something to look forward to.
