Popular Catalog Films from the Universal Studios Vault Now Available for the First Time on DVD via CreateSpace Disc on-Demand

Digitally remastered and exclusively available using CreateSpace's DVD on-Demand platform, Universal Studios Home Entertainment will give fans first-time DVD access to some of its most highly sought-after films, such as "A Bronx Tale," the 1993 film directed by and starring Robert De Niro. Other titles in the series will include cult favorite "The Incredible Shrinking Woman," starring Lily Tomlin; "Gambit," the three-time Academy Award-nominated film starring Shirley MacLaine and Michael Caine; "The Black Shield of Falworth," Universal's first feature film using CinemaScope technology; "The Brass Bottle," starring Barbara Eden and the film inspiration for the hit television show "I Dream of Jeannie" ; and "Resurrection," starring Ellen Burstyn as a modern-day miracle worker.

DVD on-Demand enables major film studios like Universal Pictures to release rare and unique content in response to consumer demand. With DVD on-Demand, DVDs are manufactured only after a customer places an order, making it a cost-effective solution that doesn't require studios to estimate market demand or make costly investments in physical inventory.

"CreateSpace's model allows movie studios and content owners to restore and release oft-requested titles quickly, easily and economically," said Dana LoPiccolo-Giles, managing director, CreateSpace. "With CreateSpace's DVD on-Demand platform, Universal Pictures can ensure its fans have the opportunity to collect and view their favorite films from the past with DVD quality."
