The year was 1983 and NOTHING was sacred! Jokes about puberty, dating, Mr. T, disciplinarian mothers, and the personality traits of Michael Jackson were all fair game when the man in the red leather suit took the stage! Eddie Murphy: Delirious arrives on DVD boasting brand-new special features including an Eddie Murphy Interview hosted by Byron Allen and ten minutes of never-before-seen footage. Eddie Murphy: Delirious will be available for the suggested retail price of $19.98.
"We are proud to distribute this very special DVD along with Starz Home Entertainment," says Byron Allen, chairman and CEO of Entertainment Studios. "I have known Eddie for more than 25 years and have enjoyed collaborating with him on the special features and other aspects of this incredibly popular and highly-anticipated DVD."
"This is a tremendous property to distribute under the Starz Home Entertainment label," stated Bill Clark, executive vice president and general manager of Starz Home Entertainment. "By capitalizing on our retail relationships, and utilizing Mr. Allen's great celebrity contacts as well as his expertise in the comedy arena, we are confident that 'Delirious' will be a leading release in the first quarter of 2007."
Entertainment Studios Home Entertainment and Starz Home Entertainment will support the DVD release of Eddie Murphy: Delirious with a comprehensive marketing campaign reaching millions of consumers including advertising on Entertainment Studios network of TV shows reaching 30 million consumers per week.
Eddie Murphy: Delirious is classic Eddie Murphy at his best and shows why he is the ORIGINAL KING OF COMEDY! Taped live and in concert at Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. in August 1983, the stand-up special originally aired on a then-fledgling cable network called HBO.
Eddie Murphy: Delirious will be released just after the anticipated theatrical release of Dreamgirls starring Eddie Murphy, Jamie Foxx, Beyonce Knowles and Danny Glover on December 25, 2006. Murphy is also starring in the feature film Norbit with Thandie Newton (Crash) and Cuba Gooding Jr. (Jerry Maguire), which will open on February 9, 2007 and was written by Charlie Murphy.
