The Good Shepherd (Robert De Niro, Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie) On DVD April 3
Oscar® winners Matt Damon (The Departed, The Bourne Supremacy),
Angelina Jolie (Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Girl Interrupted) and Robert
De Niro (Raging Bull, Meet the Fockers) star in the edge-of-your-seat
thriller The Good Shepherd, coming to DVD on April 3, 2007 from
Universal Studios Home Entertainment. A tale of secrets, deception and
murder played out at the height of the Cold War, The Good Shepherd is a
gripping film that reveals the untold story of the birth of the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA). The unparalleled, star-studded supporting cast
boasts Oscar® winners William Hurt, Joe Pesci and Timothy Hutton as
well as Alec Baldwin, Billy Crudup, John Turturro and Sir Michael Gambon.
Tautly directed by De Niro from a script by Academy
Award®-winning writer Eric Roth (Forrest Gump), The Good
Shepherd takes audiences deep into the dark world of international
intelligence and espionage. Featuring over 15 minutes of intense deleted
scenes that heighten the filmâs suspense, the DVD will keep audiences
intrigued and wanting more.
In The Good Shepherd, Matt Damon delivers an unforgettably
powerful performance as Edward Wilson, a man whose loyalty to his
country compromises his commitment to everything else, including
his wife, Clover (Angelina Jolie) and son Edward, Jr. (Eddie Redmayne).
After being recruited to work for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS)
by General Sullivan (Robert De Niro) during WWII, Wilson goes on to become
one of the founding operatives of the CIA. Enmeshed in a secret world of
deception and murder, and locked into a brutal battle of wits with his
Soviet counterpart, Wilson's dedication to his job and youthful idealism
are slowly eroded by his growing suspicion of the people around him.
