"Altman's prints are all over 'Gun'...pure viewing pleasure!" - Chicago Tribune. An all-star cast, top directors, and an intriguing premise, propel this Emmy Award-nominated series. Gun features six one-hour long riveting, comical, tragic, tawdry tales involving murder, adultery, betrayal, and other sins - all triggered and sometimes resolved by the same handgun which travels into the hands of different characters. Notable Cast/Crew: James Gandolfini, Daryl Hannah, Sally Kellerman, Randy Quaid, Jennifer Tilly, Sean Young, Rosanna Arquette, Peter Horton, Carrie Fisher, Daniel Stern, Ed Begley, Jr., Kathy Ireland, Nancy Travis, Martin Sheen, Tess Harper, Fred Ward, Edward James Olmos, and Maria Conchita Alonso. Directors: Robert Altman, James Foley, Ted Demme, Peter Horton, James Sadwith. Executive Producer, Robert Altman is among the most acclaimed directors with 7 Oscar nominations, numerous Golden Globe and other film award wins! Previously released on DVD as a single episode in 2000 by Koch (now part of eOne), and then the entire short-run anthology series in 2005 by Tango, after a long absence from disc the folks at Mill Creek Entertainment are re-releasing the classic Robert Altman show on March 6th as Gun - A 6-Film Anthology. These aren't films in the normal sense of the word, though, or even telefilms. Each installment is an hour-long episode of a show that was produced to be 6 parts long...a mini-series, in effect, except it's an anthology: every episode tells a different story with a different set of characters but always the same handgun!). It was made for TV and aired in 1997 on the ABC network. If you missed getting this on DVD in the past (and you probably did; it wasn't too widely circulated) then in March you can pick up this 2-disc set for just $14.98 SRP. Digital copies of the episodes are also included as a bonus, via MCE's proprietary digital streaming service, "Watch Mill Creek." Here's the package art:
