Hey all- I got this from The Digital Bits website.

"Warner has also announced Pushing Daisies: The Complete First Season for release on 9/16 on both DVD (SRP $29.98) and Blu-ray Disc (SRP $39.99). Each will be a 3-disc set containing all 9 episodes. Extras on the DVD (and we suspect on both versions) will include the Pie Time: Time for Pie interactive featurette and something called Cast/Creative Team Members Dishing Forkfuls of Series Secrets."

Lee Pace takes The Fall
Venice

May 2008



I was not prepared for Lee Pace. Now, that's not to say the homework hadn't been done - movies had been seen, question had been prepped. Whit I wasn't prepared for was the presence. First off, he's 6'3" - slightly taller than your average actor these days, a fact possibly much to chagrin of 4’11” “Pushing Daisies” co-star, Kristin Chenoweth. Also, in “Daisies” he plays clean cut, innocent Ned; yet in person he conjures up images of old Hollywood - the suave kind of gentlemen one might see lingering over a vodka rocks at the Beverly Hills Hotel back in the days of Sinatra. He is debonair, charming…and a mere 29 years old.

To say that Pace’s body of work is varied is an understatement. Prior to “Pushing Daisies” (a series that was written expressly for him by Bryan Fuller), he played Dick Hickock, cold-blooded partner to Perry Smith in Infamous, Doug McGrath’s take on Truman Capote’s chronicle of researching his novel, In Cold Blood. He won a Gotham Award as well as an Independent Spirit Award for his heartbreaking portrayal of Calpernia Addams, a pre-op transsexual in love in Soldier’s Girl. This month, Pace plays a dual role in The Fall, a visual feast of a film written, directed, produced, and edited by Tarsem (The Cell). It was Soldier’s Girl that got him the part. “I loved his voice, loved his performance. I said there’s only one person I want for this role and that’s Lee,” says Tarsem. It was a big commitment for Pace - the film was set to be shot in at least 24 countries. “I told him, ‘This is my baby, but if you’re going to take it on, you have to take it on completely.’ And I only had to look at him to know that he was absolutely in.” Pace took it on indeed, and in the end, the film shot in over 43 countries around the globe - a staggering number of locations for any film - especially on that was financed solely by the director himself.
