Paul Giamatti Stars In COLD SOULS; 2009 Sundance Grand Jury Prize Nominee Arrives On DVD March 2

Balancing a tightrope between deadpan humor and pathos, reality and fantasy collide in the surreal comedy Cold Souls, arriving on DVD March 2 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Golden Globe Award&reg winner** and Academy Award&reg nominee Paul Giamatti (Sideways) stars as an actor named... Paul Giamatti. During rehearsals for Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya," he finds his soul growing so heavy under the weight of the material that his whole life begins to suffer. When Giamatti hears of a doctor who extracts and stores souls, he decides to undergo the procedure. Unburdened, Giamatti's life becomes freewheeling, easygoing... and more intolerable than ever! He returns to the doctor demanding his old soul back, but a little snafu involving the Russian black market leads him on a harrowing journey that gives new meaning to the term "soul searching!"

Featuring an all-star supporting cast that includes Academy Award&reg nominees*** Emily Watson (The Water Horse) and David Strathairn (The Bourne Ultimatum), Cold Souls is the debut feature film of Sophie Barthes who both directed and wrote the hilariously twisted comedy, which garnered her a nomination for Best First Screenplay by the 2010 Independent Spirit Awards. The Cold Souls DVD includes the ‘Soul Extractor' slide show featurette, and nine deleted scenes and will be available for the suggested retail price of $19.98 U.S. Cold Souls is also available for rental beginning February 2.
