"Sailor Moon SuperS Set 1" Blu-ray/DVD Arrives April 24th

VIZ MEDIA ANNOUNCES THE HOME MEDIA RELEASE OF SAILOR MOON SUPERS SET 1

Season 4 Of SAILOR MOON Debuts As A Limited Edition Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack And A Standard Edition DVD Set

San Francisco, CA – VIZ Media, LLC (VIZ Media), a premier company in the fields of publishing, animation distribution, and global entertainment licensing, adds a new home media edition to its renowned SAILOR MOON anime catalog with the release of SAILOR MOON SUPERS SET 1.

In SAILOR MOON SuperS, a majestic Pegasus with a golden horn has appeared in Chibi-Usa's dreams with a request—to help him and keep his presence a secret. This plea turns out to be more than a childish dream, for the fearsome Dead Moon Circus, led by the villainous Zirconia, arrive in town to draw out Pegasus by targeting people with beautiful dreams! Sailor Moon and the Guardians must unite to fight a new enemy and her deadly henchmen, the Amazon Trio. But without the power to transform into Super Sailor Moon, the Guardians find themselves seriously outmatched! Will Sailor Chibi Moon's strong desire to protect everyone be the key to accessing Pegasus's power?

Steven Spielberg to Bring "Blackhawk" Comic Book to the Big Screen

Steven Spielberg Set to Take on “Blackhawk”

The revered filmmaker brings his creative powers to his first movie in the DC universe

BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On the heels of their successful collaboration on “Ready Player One,” Steven Spielberg and Amblin Entertainment are again teaming with Warner Bros. Pictures to produce the action adventure “Blackhawk,” with an eye to Spielberg directing the film. Based on the classic DC Comics property, the project will mark the filmmaker’s first feature centered around characters from DC. The announcement was made today by Toby Emmerich, Chairman, Warner Bros. Pictures Group.

[Editor's note:  Blackhawk was originally created for Quality Comics in 1941 before being acquired by National Periodical Publications, now DC Comics, in 1957.]

In making the announcement, Emmerich stated, “We are so proud to be the studio behind Steven Spielberg’s latest hit, and are thrilled to be working with him again on this new action adventure. We can’t wait to see what new ground he will break in introducing ‘Blackhawk’ to movie audiences worldwide.”

The screenplay for “Blackhawk” is being written by David Koepp, who has collaborated with Spielberg as a screenwriter on the blockbusters “Jurassic Park,” “The Lost World: Jurassic Park,” “War of the Worlds” and “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.” Spielberg will produce the film together with Kristie Macosko Krieger, under the Amblin Entertainment banner, while Sue Kroll will executive produce, under her Kroll & Co. Entertainment shingle.

Spielberg noted, “It was wonderful working with the team at Warner Bros. to bring ‘Ready Player One’ to the screen. They bring a blend of passion and professionalism to everything they do and have a tremendous history in this genre. I am excited to reunite with them on ‘Blackhawk.’”

Spielberg’s next two films are the fifth installment of the Indiana Jones franchise and “West Side Story.”

“Blackhawk” will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
