Paramount Releases Ghost on DVD!

Hollywood, Calif. – April, 2001 – The Academy Award -winning love story GHOST (1990), starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg, made its DVD debut on April 24 from Paramount Home Entertainment, with high voltage bonus material. The GHOST DVD includes a retrospective featurette that showcases behind-the-scenes footage from the original film set, as well as the original theatrical trailer and commentary by director Jerry Zucker and writer Bruce Joel Rubin who won an Oscar for his "Ghost" screenplay.

In GHOST, after being gunned down and killed by a mugger while walking home from an evening on the town with his girlfriend Molly (Moore), Sam (Swayze) finds that his spirit is trapped between two worlds, leaving his ghost on Earth to investigate the reason for the crime that killed him. Realizing that his supposed best friend Carl (Tony Goldwyn) had him killed over a multi-million dollar scandal, he feels compelled to warn his girlfriend but discovers that he can no longer communicate with the human world and seeks the help of psychic Oda Mae Brown (Goldberg). Part thriller, part romance, part comedy, GHOST celebrates the power of love, friendship and good will and transforms hard-core cynics into believing in magic.

The DVD of GHOST is presented in widescreen format enhanced for 16:9 televisions. The audio track features Dolby Digital English 5.1 Surround and French Dolby Surround and it is close-captioned and subtitled in English for the deaf and hard of hearing.
