We have just received details about Warner Home Video’s plans to release last year’s $90 million dollar box office smash, Space Cowboys on April 17. The disc will not only contain a great presentation of the film itself, but also a great number of bonus materials. Once again, Warner is putting a lot of effort into one of their hottest day & date releases, as they did before with a number of titles.

In 1958, the members of Team Daedalus, a group of top Air Force test pilots, were ready to serve their country as the first Americans in space but were pushed aside. Now, as a Russian satellite fails and is about to crash into earth, Team Daedalus is back in action in a rescue mission.

Directed by Clint Eastwood, and starring Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland, James Garner and James Cromwell, this action-paced story about aging astronauts saving the world, will feature the movie in an anamorphic widescreen transfer and contain a 5.1 channel Dolby Digital audio track. We do not have the final content details for this release, but the DVD is scheduled to contain at least 4 different Documentaries and Featurettes, as well as a number of DVD-ROM features. As soon as we receive the final details, we will of course let you know.
