CAPRICA, the prequel to BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, will enjoy its world premiere exclusively on DVD on April 21, 2009 from Universal Studios Home Ent. In a groundbreaking move sure to delight fans of the long-running television phenomenon, the feature-length prequel will be available on DVD as a limited-edition uncut and unrated version before the series' broadcast premiere on the Sci Fi Channel in 2010. CAPRICA is exec produced by Ronald D. Moore and David Eick (BATTLESTAR GALACTICA) and Remi Aubuchon (24). Exclusive bonus features that take viewers behind the scenes of the creation of Caprica make this DVD a landmark event for any fan of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.

As BATTLESTAR GALACTICA wraps its gripping final season on Sci Fi on March 20, 2009, Caprica begins a brand new epic saga that continues the franchise's commitment to thought-provoking storytelling and extraordinary characters. Set 50 years before BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, CAPRICA follows two rival families and their patriarchs -- Daniel Graystone (Eric Stoltz) and Joseph Adama (Esai Morales) -- as they compete and thrive in the vibrant world of the 12 Colonies, a society recognizably close to our own. Enmeshed in the burgeoning technology of artificial intelligence and robotics that will eventually lead to the creation of the Cylons, the two houses go toe-to-toe blending action with corporate conspiracy and sexual politics.
Universal Cable Productions shot CAPRICA in the summer of 2009 in Vancouver for a 2010 television premiere on the Sci Fi Channel. The DVD of Caprica is priced at $26.98 S.R.P.

NOTORIOUS on DVD and Blu-ray
The life and death of one of hip-hop's most powerful and iconic MCs is captured in the hard-hitting and controversial biopic NOTORIOUS, arriving on Unrated Director's Cut and Unrated Director's Cut Collector's Edition on Blu-ray and DVD April 21 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Ent. Through raw talent and sheer determination, East Coast rapper Christopher "Biggie Smalls" Wallace went from Brooklyn street hustler to one of the greatest rappers of all time -- The Notorious B.I.G. -- refusing to succumb to expectations and redefining the notion of "The American Dream." Twelve years since the rapper's unfortunate death, NOTORIOUS follows his meteoric rise to fame and provides a rare glimpse at a different side of the acclaimed artist -- from his surprising youth as a Catholic school honor student, to an imprisoned drug dealer, to the hip hop sensation he has become today. Featuring a performance from Wallace's real-life son, Christopher Jordan Wallace, NOTORIOUS also uncovers the complicated relationships in the rapper's life, including protege Kimberly "Lil' Kim" Jones, wife-and-R&B singer Faith Evans and long-time friend-turned-rival Tupac Shakur, examining the struggle, music and triumph of game-changer Christopher Wallace, who became one of the most celebrated hip-hop icons in history.
NOTORIOUS featured vfx from Brainstorm Digital and Mechanism Digital. Mechanism produced 85 effects for the film, the bulk of which includes dramatic speed ramps cut to the films soundtrack. Other effects Mechanism added to the film were creating bullet holes in the car door and window removal for scene continuity in Biggie's death scene. All effects were created during the DI using Digital Fusion workstations.
