Bill Murray (Lost in Translation) stars in Wes Anderson’s (Moonrise Kingdom) quirky 2004 comedy adventure The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, which makes it’s Blu-ray debut on the venerable Criterion label.
Internationally famous oceanographer Steve Zissou (Murray) and his crew—Team Zissou—set sail on an expedition to hunt down the mysterious, elusive, possibly nonexistent Jaguar Shark that killed Zissou’s partner during the documentary filming of their latest adventure. They are joined on their voyage by a young airline copilot (Owen Wilson, Hall Pass), a pregnant journalist (Cate Blanchett, Blue Jasmine), and Zissou’s estranged wife, Eleanor (Anjelica Huston, Crimes and Misdemeanors).
The all-star ensemble of Steve Zissou also includes Willem Dafoe (Platoon), Jeff Goldblum (Morning Glory) and Bud Cort (Harold and Maude).
Criterion issued Steve Zissou on DVD in 2005 and has ported over that edition’s bonus features for the Blu-ray edition.

Note: A longer version of this interview was originally published during the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival, where The Gates had its world premiere. In honor of Jeanne-Claude, who passed away today, we are re-running the interview. Rip, Jeanne-Claude. Tribeca Film: How did you did you decide to document the making of your work? And why is it so important for your work to be documented? Jeanne-Claude: All of our major projects have a film. The Maysles have done six of them. The Gates film is really in two parts. There are the early years 1979-81, and then the project was refused in 1981. But those early years were filmed by both brothers, David and Albert Maysles.

New York -- Alive Mind has acquired the rights to "The Gates," Antonio Ferrera and Albert Maysles' documentary about the colorful art that graced New York's Central Park in 2006.
Alive Mind, founded by Richard Lorber about a year ago, will be released in New York theatrically in the spring and then available to educational institutions as well as other runs theatrically. Lorber said Tuesday afternoon that "Gates" would be released in a "prestigious venue" in New York but couldn't announce it right away.
The film documents the Gates, Christo and Jeanne-Claude's dressing of Central Park, from its inception to its $21 million execution that became a tourist attraction seen by an estimated 4 million people. What's remarkable about "Gates" is that Albert Maysles and his brother, David Maysles, began filming it in 1979 when the artists first pitched the idea to New York officials. David Maysles died in 1987, long before The Gates came to fruition.
