(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 17, 2007 ) LOS ANGELES – The DVD of “Debbie Does Dallas…Again” finally reaches stores across the country on Wednesday, in the midst of a week in which the film has its launch party in New York City and a seven-episode reality show about its making is aired on Showtime.

The highly anticipated adult blockbuster from Vivid Entertainment Group is a big-budget remake of the iconic 1970s classic film about sexually adventurous cheerleaders. The new version, directed by the acclaimed Paul Thomas, is also the first adult film ever to be available in standard DVD, HD DVD and Blu-ray formats.

The film has received the coveted AAAAA, highest rating from AVN. It is packaged in a eye-catching 3-D box and includes one disk with the new version, another with the original 1978 version starring Bambi Woods, and a bonus disc packed with behind-the-scenes footage, photo galleries and scenes from previous Vivid remakes of the original. Visit www.debbiedoesdallasagain.com for more information.

Vivid will launch the film officially with a private party on Thursday, April 19 at Club Ultra (37 W.26th Street / (212) 725-3860), from 8-10 p.m. The party opens to the public at 10 p.m. and will feature personal appearances by Vivid Girls Monique Alexander and Savanna Samson, who star in the movie.

Meanwhile, a documentary of the making of the movie and a parallel version by Vivid-Alt director Eon McKai, reaches its own climax on the Showtime network with the broadcast of the seventh and final episode in the “Debbie Does Dallas…Again” series. The popular reality series chronicles the struggle to assemble a cast for the film and seemingly unending drama during its shooting.

“My “Debbie” compares favorably in every department to the original,” says director Paul Thomas. “While both have great live locations, the script of this version is more interesting, the female actresses are gorgeous and better actors, and they titillate and tease, making the sex scenes much hotter. Most important, though, is that our movie is far superior visually since we were shooting with the today’s advanced technology. It ranks as one of the best comedy films I’ve done, with great performances, unmatched production values and wonderful inventiveness.” Mr. Thomas is the most award-winning director in the history of adult entertainment.
