The first great romantic comedy of 2009 arrives this June when Lionsgate releases New In Town on DVD and Blu-ray Disc.  Starring Academy Award® winner Renée Zellweger (Best Supporting Actress, Cold Mountain, 2003), Harry Connick, Jr. (TV’s “Will & Grace”), four-time Emmy®-nominee and Golden Globe® winner Frances Conroy (HBO’s “Six Feet Under”) and J.K. Simmons (Burn After Reading), the film follows a successful Miami businesswoman who adjusts to her new life in a tiny and cold Minnesota town.  New In Town warmed up the hearts of critics across the country who called the film “adorable” (The Orlando Sentinel), “a sleeper hit” (TV- 29 NY), “charming” (KATV ABC), and “a romantic comedy for everyone” (KPIX-SF).

The DVD will be available in a Widescreen version and a Full Screen version, both containing bonus materials that include a behind the scenes featurette and scrap booking featurette, a look at the special role pudding played in the film, deleted scenes and audio commentary.  The Blu-ray Disc contains the same special features plus the exclusive “BD Live – Your Own Scrap Book Commentary” and “BonusView™ Picture-in-Picture” cast and crew commentary.

Lucy Hill (Zellweger) is a high-powered executive in love with her upscale Miami lifestyle. Seeking to snag a big promotion, Lucy agrees to move to a remote Minnesota town to oversee the restructuring of a blue collar manufacturing plant. After enduring icy roads, freezing weather and a chilly reception from the locals, she soon warms up to the small town and its people – especially the town’s handsome union representative (Connick, Jr.).   What begins as a job assignment becomes the best thing ever to happen to her in this heartwarming comedy that proves that the warmest people are often in the coldest places.
