The Tempest Slated for December Street Date

After having its street date pushed back three times, CVS Midwest Tape cancelled all orders for The Tempest starring Helen Mirren until a more firm street date was available from the studio. The title was recently re-announced with a street date of December 20, 2011 for the DVD (THV106588D). You can re-order the title at cvsmidwesttapes.ca.

The Tempest is a modern retelling of William Shakespeare's final masterpiece. Exiled to a magical island, the sorceress Prospera conjures up a storm that shipwrecks her enemies and then unleashes her powers for revenge. The fantastical film was a 2011 Academy Award Nominee for Best Costume Design and grossed one million dollars at the box office.
