LOS ANGELES (October 13, 2010) – In a dark, twisted tale of deception, critically-acclaimed director Joel Schumacher’s indie flick TWELVE arrives on Blu-ray and DVD on December 28th from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. TWELVE, which premiered at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, tells a lurid story of drug addiction, violence, and sex among the young Manhattan elite.
The privileged son of a restaurant tycoon, ‘White’ Mike (Chace Crawford, “Gossip Girl”) drops out of his Upper East Side prep school to peddle marijuana to his spoiled teenage friends on the party circuit. His drug supplier and friend Lionel (Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson, Get Rich or Die Tryin’) introduces him to an exotic new designer drug known as “Twelve,” and Mike struggles to keep his underground lifestyle a secret from his naive friend and confidante, girl-next-door Molly (Emma Roberts, Valentine’s Day). However, when Mike’s cousin is mysteriously found dead and Lionel is accused of murder, Mike’s world spirals out of control—and the drugs that made him notorious threaten to destroy his life.
Based on the controversial book by Nick McDonell, TWELVE also features Rory Culkin (Scream 4), Ellen Barkin (Ocean’s 13), newcomer Esti Ginzburg, and is narrated by Kiefer Sutherland (“24”).
TWELVE will be available on Blu-ray and DVD for the suggested retail prices of $29.99 and $22.98, respectively (U.S. only).
