Watch New "Blood Into Wine" Clip From Upcoming DVD Release

[press release] With the arrival of Blood Into Wine, the documentary Filmcritic.com described as a "rock 'n roll version of Sideways," on DVD and Blu-Ray imminent (Sept. 7) the producers are sharing a new clip from the film which can be seen below.

Blood Into Wine opened in theaters on Feb. 19 and has since played in over 100 cities worldwide earning numerous critical accolades from a wide range of publications including The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times and Village Voice. The documentary focuses on Tool/A Perfect Circle/Puscifer front man Maynard James Keenan and vineyard partner Eric Glomski as they bring attention to the new winemaking region of Northern Arizona amidst industry prejudices, celebrity misconceptions and an unforgiving mother nature. An untraditional documentary, the film also features comedians Eric Wareheim, Tim Heidecker, Patton Oswalt and Bob Odenkirk. Milla Jovovich, who has worked with Keenan as part of Puscifer, makes a guest appearance.

The film's directors, Ryan Page and Christopher Pomerenke, who were previously best known for their award-winning film Moog met Keenan while filming The Heart Is A Drum Machine in 2008. The pair had casually discussed Keenan's winemaking endeavors at the time of the meeting and were intrigued by the prospect of exploring the notoriously private singer's newest undertaking. After many months of coaxing, the pair were able to convince Keenan and Glomski to do this film and allow their cameras to shadow them as they went through a full winemaking cycle. Since that time, Page, Pomerenke once again worked with Keenan on the forthcoming feature film Queens of Country, which stars Lizzy Caplan (True Blood, Mean Girls) and Ron Livingston (Office Space, Band of Brothers). Queens of Country is currently being edited with a 2011 release date planned.
