St. Trinian’s stars Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, Lena Headey, Russell Brand and Mischa Barton. The DVD arrives with a rucksack of special features including a making-of featurette, bloopers, deleted scenes and a music video performed by U.K. pop sensation Girls Aloud, who also make a cameo in the film. St. Trinian’s will be available for the suggested price of $24.96.
St. Trinian’s, the infamous school for ‘young ladies,’ is in trouble. Despite being an old flame of its Headmistress (in a top-of-his-class comic performance by RUPERT EVERETT, My Best Friend’s Wedding), the new Education Minister is shaking things up and the school is facing financial ruin. But the students of St. Trinian’s aren’t going to give up without a fight. After all, they excel at chaos and attitude not chemistry and algebra…and that’s exactly what it’s going to take to beat the authorities before they close down their beloved school for good. Starring COLIN FIRTH (Mamma Mia!, Bridget Jones Diary), LENA HEADEY (“Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,” Vacancy), RUSSELL BRAND (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and CATERINA MURINO (Casino Royale). Also starring MISCHA BARTON (“The O.C.,” “The Beautiful Life”), TALULAH RILEY (The Boat That Rocked) and GEMMA ARTERTON (Quantum of Solace, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time), with a cameo appearance by U.K. sensation GIRLS ALOUD. Based on the popular drawings of “The Girls of St. Trinian’s” by Ronald Searle, and following the hit film series of the 1950’s and 60’s.
