George Strait, Julia Roberts and Bruce Willis Add Superstar Power to Hannover House Family Video Release, 'Grand Champion'

FAYETTEVILLE, AK. (Hannover House/ www.hannoverhouse.com) - "Grand Champion" may not be the biggest family film of the year, but it certainly features some of the biggest names in entertainment. This enchanting new film arrives on video January 25th from Hannover House with an impressive superstar roster including
Julia Roberts, Bruce Willis and George Strait in supporting roles. Principal stars include Joey Lauren Adams, Emma Roberts and Barry Tubb, who also directs this "G" rated film about a Texas cattle stock competition and a kidnapped cow.
"It's the best little movie that you've probably never heard of before," said Eric Parkinson, President of distribution company Hannover House. "Audiences and film critics have given high praise to the film, so our superstar cast is icing on the cake," he concluded. The film's soundtrack is equally impressive, featuring original songs performed by The Dixie Chicks, Willie Nelson, Charlie Robison and George Strait.

"Grand Champion" enjoyed a modest theatrical launch last fall, but is getting the royal treatment for its release on DVD and VHS January 25, 2005. Television and print ads will tout the title's video availability, as well as a heavily promoted sweepstakes competition for the National Rodeo Finals.

"This is the film that sparked the romance between Julia Roberts and cinematographer Danny Moder," said Parkinson, referring to the now married couple. "They had met earlier on the set of 'The Mexican,' but the sparks really ignited on location in Texas for 'Grand Champion.' It's ironic that Julia's character in our film is pregnant, since she just gave birth to their own twins."

"Grand Champion" will be available at most major mass merchants and video outlets January 25th, including Wal-Mart, Albertson's, Best Buy and Amazon.com. DVD's are priced at $19.95 suggested retail, and VHS units are $14.95. The film's soundtrack CD will be released on March 8th at $14.95 list.
