John Water's ``Cecil B. Demented,'' the irreverent and critically acclaimed new comedy starring Melanie Griffith and Stephen Dorff, is available on VHS for rental and sell through on DVD on Jan. 23, 2001. The ``Cecil B. Demented'' DVD edition is packed with special features, including 16:9 widescreen, 5.1 Dolby Digital Audio, a hilarious audio commentary by director John Waters, Comedy Central's Special ``Canned Ham: Cecil B. Demented'' (a 30-minute program), theatrical trailers, cast and crew information, and production notes.

``Cecil B. Demented'' is John Waters' (``Pink Flamingos,'' ``Serial Mom,'' ``Polyester'') insane action-comedy about a young lunatic director (Stephen Dorff) and his devoted cult of cinema terrorists who kidnap a Hollywood movie goddess (Melanie Griffith) and force her to star in their radical underground movie. Vowing to punish the crass sins of commercial cinema, fueled by revolutionary zeal and their self-imposed sexual frustration, Cecil B. Demented and his guerilla production crew invade the streets of Baltimore to shoot their no-budget epic. When Cecil B. Demented says ``Action,'' he means action, and nothing is going to stand in his way.
