Viacom's Paramount Home Video, which had been slow to enter the DVD market fearing piracy of its product, plans a big push into the market this year under Paramount's new chief, Brad Grey, the Wall Street Journal reported today (Thursday). Among its plans is to release a package of John Wayne movies from Wayne's production company Batjac. They include newly restored versions of the 1953 film Island in the Sky and 1954's The High and the Mighty, neither of which has been released on either VHS or DVD. The company also is planning to release Wayne's Hondo (1953) and McLintock! (1962) on DVD for the first time. PHV is also planning to sharply escalate the DVD release of classic TV shows in its library, including Happy Days, The Brady bunch, The Beverly Hillbillies, Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place, the Journal reported, noting that while the studio released 35 TV DVDs in 2002, the number will jump to 220 this year.
