Encounter a man who has everything, and you'll find a man who has everything to hide in MGM Home Entertainment's Mr. Brooks, arriving on DVD October 23. Hailed by film critics as "a spellbinding original," (Gene Shalit, The Today Show), Mr. Brooks boasts an all-star cast in which "Kevin Costner and William Hurt do some of the best work of their careers," (LA Daily News). In the twisted and cunning crime thriller, Academy Award winner Kevin Costner (Best Director, Dances with Wolves) stars as Earl Brooks, a seemingly normal businessman, husband and father who has a deep, dark secret. He is the notorious and insatiable Thumbprint Killer who has managed to keep his two incompatible worlds from intersecting.
Struggling to keep his killer instincts in check and rehabilitate his menacing criminal passions, Brooks must suppress his sadistic alter ego, Marshall, played by Academy Award winner William Hurt (Best Actor in a Supporting Role, A History of Violence), from winning the inner battle to kill again. Mr. Brooks features an outstanding all-star cast including Demi Moore (A Few Good Men) as tenacious Homicide Detective Tracy Atwood, and Dane Cook (Employee of the Month), as the amateur photographer who witnesses Brooks' most recent crime and develops his own thirst for killing.
The Mr. Brooks DVD features even more thrills and suspense including commentary by Bruce A. Evans (Writer/Director) and Raynold Gideon, deleted scenes with commentary, Murder On Their Minds: Mr. Brooks, Marshall & Mr. Smith featurette, On the Set of Mr. Brooks featurette, and more.
