Mel Brooks' Life Stinks' Announced for Blu-ray

Life Stinks

The 1991 comedy is planned for Blu-ray in 2015.

In an early announcement to retailers, Kino will be releasing 'Life Stinks' on Blu-ray later this year.

Acclaimed actor/writer/director Mel Brooks (Spaceballs, The Producers) takes his hilarious brand of comic lunacy to the streets-literally-with this "warmhearted comedy" (Roger Ebert) about a rich man who wins back his humanity...by losing everything else he's got!

Multi-billionaire Goddard Bold (Brooks) has just made a deal that will change his life. In order to win the right to build over a ghetto, Bolt must survive on its impoverished streets-penniless-for 30 days. but when this well-to-do man discovers what its like to do without, it'll take the charity of a feisty bag lady (Leslie Ann Warren) and a newly found appreciation for the best things in life to show him the true meaning of being "filthy rich"!

The only details that have been revealed thus far is that the release will include an audio commentary with writer, producer, director and star Mel Brooks, writer and actor Rudy De Luca and writer Steve Haberman; "Does Life Really Stink?" featurette; and original theatrical trailer.
