Trailer Park Boys movie released to DVD in Canada February 22, 2007
Last October the popular Candian TV show the Trailer Park Boys made its big screen debut in Canada. The movie was a resounding success garnering the highest opening-weekend gross of any English-language homegrown film. Alex Lifeson was heavily involved in the making of the film”s soundtrack (Geddy Lee also participated) and also got a cameo as a cop in the movie. The film is also riddled with Rush references including a movie marquee (screenshot supplied by Power Windows) which lists several Rush song titles as movies. In December the news came out that Myriad Pictures of Los Angeles had purchased U.S. and world rights (excluding Canada) for the movie and planned to put the film into commercial release this year. Whether this will actually happen or not I”m unclear on, but yesterday the film was released to DVD in Canada. It is also available via various private vendors in the US and elsewhere. I should also note that the entire film has already been uploaded to YouTube in 10 parts here. Not sure how long they”ll be up though, so watch “em while they”re hot!
